Protective cover for personal electronic devices

Disclosed are covers, as well as systems and methods for manufacturing inexpensive, throwaway covers that may be used to protect personal electronic devices from contaminants. The disclosed covers may be inexpensively manufactured using a single inexpensive raw material as well as an inexpensive manufacturing process in which no waste material is produced. In one aspect of the present invention, such covers are disposable. In another aspect of the present invention, the disclosed covers include outer and inner flaps that may be manipulated to allow the personal electronic device to be placed within the cover in either a face down or face up position. Thereafter, upon placement of the personal electronic device within the cover, the outer and inner flaps may be restored to their initial position to minimize the potential of contamination of the personal electronic device.
