First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A hollow glass sleeve comprising an internal surface, at least a portion of said internal surface coated by an electroless plating method comprising: affixing a physical or chemical barrier to at least a portion of the internal surface of the glass sleeve, contacting at least a portion of the internal surface of the glass sleeve with an electroless plating solution for a time sufficient to deposit a metal layer on at least a portion of the glass sleeve, providing a protective layer to the portion of the internal surface of the glass sleeve comprising the deposited metal layer, and removing the physical or chemical barrier, the electroless plating solution comprising at least one material for providing metal ions to the glass sleeve and at least one reducing agent. 2 . A hollow glass sleeve comprising an internal surface, said internal surface comprising a layer of metal, wherein said layer of metal comprises trace amounts of at least one reducing agent. 3 . An electronic device comprising a glass sleeve, the glass sleeve comprising an internal surface, wherein said internal surface comprises a layer of metal, and wherein said layer of metal comprises trace amounts of at least one reducing agent. 4 . The electronic device according to claim 3 , chosen from laptops, cell phones, electronic tablets, watches, and media players. 5 . The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein at least a portion of the internal surface does not comprise a layer of metal. 6 . The electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the portion of the internal surface that does not comprise a layer of metal corresponds to a display area of the device.
