Data transmission blocking holder
A personal communication device (“PCD”) holder including (i) a first housing portion including a material that causes the first housing portion to be data signal blocking; (ii) a second housing portion including a material that causes the second housing portion to be data signal blocking; and (iii) a data signal blocking gasket fitted to at least one of the first and second housing portions, the gasket positioned and arranged such that when the first and second housing portions are mated together to form an enclosure about the PCD, the data signal blocking gasket engages and seals to the other of the first and second housing portions to ensure that the enclosure is completely data signal blocking regardless of whether imperfections are present in an interface between the mated first and second portions.
1. A personal communication device “PCD” holder comprising:
a first injection molded housing portion including a material that causes the first housing portion to be data signal blocking;
a second injection molded housing portion including a material that causes the second housing portion to be data signal blocking; and
wherein the first and second housing portions each include a notch, wherein the notches combine to form an opening when the first and second housing portions are mated together to allow the PCD to receive a data transmission, the mated notches selectively plugged via a plug that folds up into an additional notch provided in one of the first or second housing portions to unplug the mated notches and allow the PCD to receive the data transmission.
2. The PCD holder of claim 1 , further including a data signal blocking gasket fitted to at least one of the first and second housing portions.
3. The PCD holder of claim 1 , wherein the mated notches formed to selectively allow the PCD to receive a data transmission are positioned directly adjacent to the PCD to enable the PCD to be charged.
4. The PCD holder of claim 1 , wherein the plug is connected to an inside surface of one of the first or second housing portions via a strap.
5. The PCD holder of claim 1 , wherein the additional notch is provided on an inside surface of the first or second housing portion.
6. The PCD holder of claim 1 , wherein the notches are shaped at least substantially the same.
7. A personal communication device “PCD” holder comprising:
a first housing portion including a material that causes the first housing portion to be data signal blocking, the first housing portion including a first notch;
a second housing portion including a material that causes the second housing portion to be data signal blocking, the second housing portion including a second notch; and
wherein the first and second notches are positioned and arranged to mate when the first and second housing portions are closed together forming an opening the mated first and second notches selectively plugged via a plug that blocks the PCD from receiving a data transmission, and wherein the plug folds up into a notch provided in one of the first or second housing portions to unplug the mated first and second openings and allow the PCD to receive the data transmission.
8. The PCD holder of claim 7 , further including a data signal blocking gasket fitted to at least one of the first and second housing portions.
9. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein the mated first and second notches formed to selectively allow the PCD to receive a data transmission are positioned directly adjacent to the PCD to enable the PCD to be charged.
10. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein the plug is connected to an inside surface of one of the first or second housing portions via a strap.
11. The PCD holder of claim 10 , wherein the strap is connected to the inside surface of the first or second housing portion directly adjacent to the additional notch.
12. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein the additional notch is provided on an inside surface of the first or second housing portion.
13. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein the first and second notches are shaped at least substantially the same.
14. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is injection molded.
15. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein the first and second housing portions are hinged together.
16. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is made of metal.
17. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is made of a material injected with conductive particles.
18. The PCD holder of claim 7 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is made of a conductive layer applied to an electrically insulating layer.
19. A personal communication device “PCD” holder comprising:
a first housing portion including a material that causes the first housing portion to be data signal blocking;
a second housing portion including a material that causes the second housing portion to be data signal blocking, at least one of the first or second housing portions including a notch extending through an edge of the first or second housing portion; and
wherein the at least one notch is selectively plugged via a plug that blocks the PCD from receiving data transmission, wherein the plug folds up into an additional notch provided in one of the first or second housing portions to unplug the opening and allow the PCD to receive the data transmission, and wherein the plug is connected via a strap to the first or second housing portion adjacent to the additional notch.
20. The PCD holder of claim 19 , wherein the at least one notch formed to selectively allow the PCD to receive a data transmission is positioned directly adjacent to the PCD to enable the PCD to be charged.
21. The PCD holder of claim 19 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is injection molded.
22. The PCD holder of claim 19 , wherein the first and second housing portions are hinged together.
23. The PCD holder of claim 19 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is made of metal.
24. The PCD holder of claim 19 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is made of a material injected with conductive particles.
25. The PCD holder of claim 19 , wherein at least one of the first or second housing portions is made of a conductive layer applied to an electrically insulating layer.
