Patent attributes
A remote control cover includes a sleeve having a transparent front wall and an open bottom edge in communication with an interior chamber that houses a remote unit. The open bottom edge is selectively closed with a pair of releasable flaps that allow a user to easily install and remove the remote unit. The top edge includes a wide-profile aperture for exposing the remote unit's infrared transmitter. On the inner surface of the rear wall is a fabric pad for minimizing impact damage if the remote unit is dropped. Accordingly, when the remote unit is positioned within the interior chamber, the thin, transparent front wall allows a user to easily view and operate any of the remote unit's control buttons. Meanwhile, the sleeve protects the unit from contaminants and minimizes impact damage if the unit is dropped.
