Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

A mount connector for a portable electronic device having a protrusion extending from a surface of the portable electronic device or a surface of a cover of the portable electronic device includes: a body comprising a first part, the first part of the body comprising: a first cavity having a first opening on an external surface of the first part of the body, wherein the first cavity and first opening are sized and shaped to accept and limit movement of the protrusion in at least one direction while the mount connector is connected to the electronic device, and a magnetic surface located on a portion of the external surface of the first part of the body surrounding the first opening, wherein the magnetic surface is configured to connect the mount connector to the portable electronic device, the cover of the portable electronic device, or a metal surface integrated therewith.

A speaker case for a mobile device with a speaker. A protective shell into which the mobile device can be inserted. The protective shell has a rear wall and at least one side wall with an opening for the speaker, a plate-shaped component, which is fastened to the protective shell so as to pivot about a first pivot axis. At least one second plate-shaped component which is pivotally mounted about a second pivot axis on the first plate-shaped component. The pivot axes are preferably perpendicular to each other and whereby the protective shell has a sound channel from the opening for the speaker to the rear wall of the protective shell.

A hands-free mount for a mobile device. An example hands-free mount includes a first magnetic attachment for combining with the mobile device, and a second mating magnetic attachment for combining with the first magnetic attachment. In an example, the hands-free mount includes a housing for the second mating magnetic attachment. A strap may be fitted through the opening in the housing to secure the housing to an object for attaching the mobile device to the object via magnetic connection of the first magnetic attachment on the mobile device to the second mating magnetic attachment of the housing. An example hands-free mount may also include a kickstand on the housing. The kickstand in the open position supports the mobile device in a substantially upright position. The kickstand folds into the closed position for carrying the mobile device.
