An electronic device such as a mobile phone having user changeable composite
covers
formed by a two-shot process. The covers are removable and are adapted to slide
onto and off the electronic device/mobile phone to thereby enclose the electronic
device/mobile phone in a water-resistant/dustproof manner. The composite covers
include resilient regions with buttons formed therein that cooperate with control
elements in the electronic device/mobile phone. The composite covers are formed
by a two-shot process that involves the use of a transparent material in a first
shot to provide a hard cover having a number of openings there through. The second
shot involves the use of the transparent hard cover as a core onto which an elastomeric
layer is applied, so that some of the openings in the hard cover have buttons formed
thereon, whereas other regions and openings in the cover are not covered.
