    Abstract: A foldable electronic device module includes: a glass-containing cover element having a thickness from about (25) μm to about (200) μm, an elastic modulus from about (20) to (140) GPa, and first and second primary surfaces; a stack comprising: (a) an interlayer having an elastic modulus from about (0.01) to (10) GPa and a thickness from about 50 to (200) μm, and (b) a flexible substrate having a thickness from about (100) to (200) μm; and a first adhesive joining the stack to the cover element, and comprising an elastic modulus from about (0.001) to (10) GPa and a thickness from about (5) to (25) μm. Further, the module comprises an impact resistance characterized by tensile stresses of less than about (4100) MPa and less than about (8300) MPa at the first and second primary surfaces of the cover element, respectively, upon an impact in a Pen Drop Test.

    Abstract: A glass sleeve assembly for a portable electronic device may comprise a glass sleeve extending longitudinally from a first opening defined by a first rim to a second opening defined by a second rim. The glass sleeve may have an internal surface. A first end cap may be positioned adjacent to the first opening and may have at least a portion extending longitudinally beyond the first rim. A second end cap may be positioned adjacent to the second opening and may have at least a portion extending longitudinally beyond the second rim. A frame may comprise first and second ends and a central portion between the first and second ends. The central portion may be located within the glass sleeve. The ends of the frame may be connected to the end caps. Shock absorbing interlayers may be mounted to the end caps and the glass sleeve.
