A mobile device temperature-regulating case is disclosed. Mobile devices, such as tablet computers and smartphones, may be exposed to extreme temperatures, such as extreme cold and extreme heat. Under these extreme temperatures, the mobile devices may not function properly or at all. In that regard, the mobile device temperature-regulating case is configured to at least partially encase a side of the mobile device and conductively cool and/or heat the side of the mobile device. For example, a solid-state heat pump may conductively cool the side of the mobile device, with a fan convectively cooling the solid-state heat pump. In this way, temperature of the mobile device may be kept less than or greater than a predetermined temperature so that the mobile device may function properly.

A case for a mobile device includes a frame and an elastomeric shell. The elastomeric shell is received in the frame and has an outer surface, an inner surface opposite the outer surface and configured for receiving the mobile device, and a rim extending between the outer surface and the inner surface. The inner surface forms inner projections each having an inner extremity extending toward an inside of the elastomeric shell and each being configured for contact with the mobile device when arranged in the inner surface. The outer surface forms outer projections defining respective outer projection extremities and forms outer troughs extending between the outer projections and defining outer trough extremities. The outer projections extend toward a frame inner perimeter of the frame such that each of the outer trough extremities is spaced further from the frame than adjacent ones of the outer projection extremities.

Mobile device cases are provided which, in a first embodiment, selectively limit a user's ability to control the user's own mobile electronic device. The case includes front and rear portions joined together and defining therein an opening for receiving a mobile electronic device, such as a mobile phone. A locking mechanism is provided for selectively securing the opening in a first locked position to prevent operational access to the mobile electronic device by the user until a predetermined condition is met. The case includes an indicia of time visible to the user during the period of time of prevented operational access. In a further embodiment, a case is provided with first and second polymeric shells each having an interior and an exterior surface thereon and connected together by at least one hinge portion. The first and second shell portions form a cavity of sufficient size to cover a mobile electronic device sufficiently to prevent access by its user. Tamper resistant and ultrasonic sensor defeating mobile device case embodiments are also contemplated by this invention.

A personal care collection kit is described. The kit may include a sanitizer and an absorbent material. The components are housed in a lined enclosure. A personal care article can be withdrawn from the collection kit, used, and discarded back into an interior region of the enclosure of the collection kit. A sanitizer can be expelled from within the enclosure and can easily be dispensed by a one hand function. The sanitizer is spread on a user's hand discreetly inside the liner and enclosure. The hand can be dried with the absorbent material again by a one hand function. The lining keeps the wet, dry, powder, or similar type sanitizer substances from contacting the inside of a user's pocket or adjacent body part, substrate or the like.

A light, durable, and user friendly cover for a laptop computer that integrates the protective qualities of hard shell cases with the aesthetics of soft cut-and-sew covers is disclosed herein. The cover includes top and bottom panels configured to cover the display and keyboard portions, respectively. Each panel is independent and separate from the other and each is formed as a unitary component of a molded resilient polymer material, such as polycarbonate, that is configured to reversibly and retentively snap-fit over the outer surface of the laptop computer. Each panel includes a raised lip along its perimeter edge region that defines an internally extending recessed region on the panel's outer surface. Fabric and/or leather overlays are positioned, sized, and adhesively coupled atop the recessed regions and are protected from delaminating, fraying, and/or peeling by the raised perimeter lip.

A fanny pack or small pack that has at least one but preferably two or more pockets made out of an absorbent lining material capable of holding a quantity of a sanitizing substance imbibed therein.

A multi-functional luggage includes a first frame positioned such that an outer face of the first frame includes elements for engaging with the ground. The luggage further includes a second frame operably connected to the first frame and a third frame operably connected to the second frame using a hinge structure such that the third frame pivots from a first position wherein the second frame and the third frame are contiguous to a second position wherein the third frame and the second frame are partially open in order to expose interior of the third frame and the second frame. The third frame and the second frame form a seat in the second position that is sized to support a human such that a torso of the human rests in the second frame and feet of the human rests in the third frame.

An accessory device for a portable electronic device is described. The accessory device includes a front cover connected to a back cover. The front cover includes multiple segments rotatable with respect to each other. The segments include magnets that allow the segments, through magnetic coupling, to couple with another segment or with the portable electronic device. When the front cover engages the back cover, a user may remove, or pull away, a segment from the back cover, causing the remaining segments to sequentially fall away from the back cover. In some instances, when the front cover at least partially engages the back cover, one of the segments includes magnets designed to couple with magnets in the back cover, but not with magnets in another segment. The accessory device may further include an opening that receives a camera assembly of the portable electronic device and forms a mechanical interlock.
