Abstract
This disclosure describes, in part, covers for electronic devices. For instance, a portion of a cover may attach to a portion of an electronic device. In some instances, the portion of the electronic device is associated with receiving sound. The cover may include one or more speakers that are configured to output sound towards one or more microphones of the electronic device. By outputting the sound towards the one or more microphones, the one or more microphones may receive more of the sound than sound (e.g., user speech) located in an environment that includes the electronic device. The cover may also include one or more microphones for generating audio data representing commands. For example, the commands may cause the cover to output the sound using the one or more speakers and/or cease outputting the sound using the one or more speakers.
