A hands-free mount for a mobile device is disclosed. An example hands-free mount includes a first plate for combining with a case of the mobile device, and a second plate for pairing with the first plate. The second plate is magnetically attachable at least in part to the first plate, and the second plate is attachable at least in part to a surface so that the mobile device can be magnetically attached to the surface. The hands-free mount can be universal to fit all smartphones. It provides a sleek removable magnetic back that can be used with or without a case for numerous mounting options.

Embodiments relate to a cellphone self-standing device that allows any cellphone to stand in position and angles that are more suited for selfie and two way video communication. The device of this invention integrates with the cellphone such that it can be carried around easily, the same way that cellphones are; store with the cellphone in where cellphones are normally stored; and operate on demand with minimal set up, to facilitate ease of use.

Provided is a portable terminal cover, which is configured to surround a portable terminal (4) and a portable terminal case (3) or other retainer in an integrated manner and is continuously usable irrespective of a shape of the portable terminal. Provided is a portable terminal cover including: a portable terminal cover main body portion (1) made of a freely foldable material; and a band portion (2) mounted to the portable terminal cover main body portion (1), in which the band portion (2) is sandwiched between the portable terminal (4) and a retainer to which the portable terminal (4) is mounted. The portable terminal case (3) or other retainer and the portable terminal (4) can be easily and repeatedly fixed to, attached to, and detached from the portable terminal cover main body portion (1) through the band portion. Further, even when a camera hole is not formed in the portable terminal cover main body portion (1), with the band portion, shooting can be performed without a detaching operation under a state in which the portable terminal (4) is mounted to the portable terminal cover.

Methods and structures for forming anodization layers that protect and cosmetically enhance metal surfaces are described. In some embodiments, methods involve forming an anodization layer on an underlying metal that permits an underlying metal surface to be viewable. In some embodiments, methods involve forming a first anodization layer and an adjacent second anodization layer on an angled surface, the interface between the two anodization layers being regular and uniform. Described are photomasking techniques and tools for providing sharply defined corners on anodized and texturized patterns on metal surfaces. Also described are techniques and tools for providing anodizing resistant components in the manufacture of electronic devices.
