A protective enclosure for an electronic device is provided. The protective enclosure includes a structural member, a cushioning member permanently affixed to the structural member, and a cavity. The structural member has a back portion and a plurality of side portions. The cushioning member extends from an upper edge configured to extend beyond the front surface of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure to a lower edge configured to extend beyond the back surface of the electronic device and be in direct contact with a portion of the back surface of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure. The cavity is configured to extend between the inner surface of the structural member to the back surface of the installed electronic device and is at least partially bounded by the lower edge of the cushioning member.

The protective enclosure of claim 1, wherein the cavity is configured to be bounded by the lower edge of the cushioning member, the inner surface of the structural member, and the back surface of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure. 5. The protective enclosure of claim 1, wherein the cushioning member includes an interior section configured to cover a portion of the back surface of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure. 6. The protective enclosure of claim 1, wherein the cushioning member is configured to cover at least a portion of the side surfaces of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure. 7. The protective enclosure of claim 1, wherein the cushioning member is a perimeter cushioning member configured to define a perimeter area covering the plurality of side surfaces of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure. 8. A protective enclosure for an electronic device, the electronic device including a front surface, a back surface, and a plurality of side surfaces, the front surface and side surfaces of the electronic device defining a front edge, and the back surface and side surfaces of the electronic device defining a back edge, the protective enclosure comprising: a bumper portion extending between a first protective rim configured to extend above the front edge of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in protective enclosure and an inner protective rim configured to extend behind the back edge of the electronic device and be in direct contact only with a portion of the back surface of the electronic device proximate the back edge when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure; anda bottom shell permanently affixed to the bumper portion, the bottom shell having a back portion and a plurality of side portions, the back portion including an inner surface and an opposing outer surface;wherein the protective enclosure is configured to define a gap extending between the inner surface of the bottom shell to the back surface of the installed electronic device, the gap configured to be at least partially bounded by the inner protective rim of the bumper portion. 9. The protective enclosure of claim 8, wherein bottom shell is configured not to make contact with the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure. 10. The protective enclosure of claim 8, wherein at least a portion of the back portion of the structural member is transparent. 11. The enclosure of claim 10, wherein the bumper portion includes an interior section configured to cover a portion of the back surface of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the enclosure. 12. A protective enclosure for an electronic device, the electronic device including a front surface, a back surface, and a plurality of side surfaces, the protective enclosure comprising: an elastomeric cushioning member including: a top section including a raised beveled edge configured to extend beyond the front surface of the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure;a bottom section including a lower edge configured to extend beyond the back surface of the installed electronic device and be in direct contact with only a portion of the back surface of the installed electronic device; anda plurality of side sections connecting the top section and the bottom section of the elastomeric cushioning member, each of the plurality of side sections being configured to cover a side surface of the plurality of side surfaces of the installed electronic device;a polymeric structural member permanently affixed to the elastomeric cushioning member, the polymeric structural member having a back portion and a plurality of side portions, the back portion including an inner surface, the side portions at least partially covering the plurality of side sections of the elastomeric cushioning member; anda cavity at least partially bounded by the lower edge of the elastomeric cushioning member and the inner surface of the polymeric structural member. 13. The protective enclosure of claim 12, wherein the lower edge is configured to extend along the side surfaces of the installed electronic device. 14. The protective enclosure of claim 12, wherein the polymeric structural member is formed from a rigid material. 15. The protective enclosure of claim 12, wherein a portion of the back portion of the polymeric structural member comprises a transparent or semi-transparent component. 16. The protective enclosure of claim 12, wherein the cavity is configured to extend between the inner surface of the structural member to the back surface of the installed electronic device. 17. The protective enclosure of claim 12, wherein the polymeric structural member includes a cutout region in one or more of the plurality of side portions of the polymeric structural member, the cutout region configured to allow the protective enclosure to bend towards the back portion of the polymeric structural member to allow a portion of the installed electronic device to be exposed and removed from the protective enclosure. 18. The protective enclosure of claim 12, further comprising a functional control feature configured to cover a button of the installed electronic device and allow for the button of the installed electronic device to be depressed while the electronic device is installed in the protective enclosure. 19.
