1. A covering section for use in shielding handheld electronic devices from a surrounding environment, the covering section comprising:
a pliable layer having first and second oppositely facing sides, each including a surface, wherein the surface at the first side is an at least predominantly tacky surface having a water-based adhesive, and wherein the surface at the second side is a non-tacky surface; and
a peel-away liner layer removably overlaid against the at least predominantly tacky surface of the pliable layer;
wherein the pliable layer is formed of a transparent material, has a thickness measuring between about 2 mils and about 12 mils, and includes an antimicrobial agent; and
wherein, upon separation of the peel-away liner layer from the pliable layer, the pliable layer is arrangeable relative to a handheld electronic device such that the pliable layer at least substantially entirely covers the handheld electronic device to provide a barrier between the handheld electronic device and the surrounding environment for preventing transmission of contaminants therebetween, whereby
the at least predominantly tacky surface is removably adherable to the handheld electronic device, to the non-tacky surface of the pliable layer, or to itself,
a display screen of the handheld electronic device is viewable through the pliable layer, and
one or more device functions are available when the pliable layer is arranged to at least substantially entirely cover the handheld electronic device.
