Abstract
A cover for protecting an audio port of an electronic device is provided. The cover includes a check valve, a bellows, and an air vent. The check valve moves between a first position to allow audio pressure to exit the audio port and a second position to fluidly seal the audio port. The bellows at least partially surround the audio port when the cover is attached to the electronic device and move the check valve from the first position to the second position in response to a pressure exerted on the bellows. The air vent is attached to the bellows and allows audio pressure to pass through the air vent and to restrict passage of at least some water through the air vent.
