A protective cover for a head-mounted device may include a cover layer and a ribbed fabric sidewall that together form a recess for receiving the head-mounted device. The cover layer may include a foam layer and a stiffener wrapped in fabric layers and may be configured to cover and protect an external display in the head-mounted device. The ribbed fabric sidewall may include a knit fabric layer and knit ribs on opposing sides of the knit fabric layer. The ribbed fabric sidewall may have a button receiving region and a pull tab region that are modified relative to other regions of the ribbed fabric sidewall by including fewer ribs, unfilled ribs, or ribs of different heights. A pull tab may hide a seam in the ribbed fabric sidewall. The seam may be formed from a filled pocket that provides a plush surface under the pull tab.

Protective covers for electronic devices

A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn by the user. The head-mounted device housing may have housing structures such as elongated housing members with protruding posts. A headband may be removably coupled to the head-mounted device housing. The headband may have a strap with openings configured to receive the posts. Releasable latches may be provided to allow selective engagement and disengagement between the headband and the housing. The latches may contain movable latch members that are biased using magnetic biasing mechanisms, spring-based biasing mechanisms, or other biasing mechanisms. To release each latch, a tab, button, toggle lever, slider, or other release mechanisms may be actuated by a user. This moves the movable latch member from a closed latch position to an open latch position that releases the headband from the housing.
