Provided is a grip apparatus for a portable device. The grip apparatus includes a base unit mounted on the portable device, a sliding hole formed in the base unit in a longitudinal direction of the base unit, a pair of sliders inserted into the sliding hole and independently movable along the sliding hole, and a band unit coupled to the pair of sliders and deformed to form a space, into which a finger is insertable, as at least one of the pair of sliders is moved.

An intelligent screen protector is provided. Responsive to the intelligent screen protector being detached from a paired portable computing device, the intelligent screen protector identifies a set of instructions received from the paired portable computing device associated with visually generating an image of a selected smartcard. In accordance with the set of instructions, the intelligent screen protector visually generates the image of the selected smartcard in a transparent display area of the intelligent screen protector. The intelligent screen protector determines whether a transaction associated with the selected smartcard has been initiated. Responsive to the transaction associated with the selected smartcard being initiated, the intelligent screen protector discontinues the visual generation of the image of the selected smartcard in the transparent display area of the intelligent screen protector.

A modular ruggedized protective case for a mobile communications device is disclosed. In embodiments, the protective case includes a flexible (e.g., rubberized) primary housing partially enclosing the mobile device and itself partially surrounded or enclosed by a rigid secondary housing. The secondary housing includes port protectors for concealing or shielding connector ports (e.g., USB, HDMI, AC, other like power/data inputs) of the mobile device. The protective case includes an adapter for a type cover keyboard, e.g., capable of partially covering the display surface of the mobile device when closed and serving as a keyboard or other input device when opened; the type cover adapter attached to a connection port and provides for transmission of control input from the type cover to the mobile device when the mobile device is enclosed in the protective case.

A reflective covering assembly enabling recovery of an electronic device includes a plurality of reflectors engaged to a shell, which is shaped complementarily to an electronic device, such as a smart phone. The shell has an open face through which the electronic device can be inserted into the shell so that the shell is removably engaged to the electronic device. The shell protects the electronic device from damage. The reflectors reflect light so that the shell is visible in low ambient light conditions, facilitating recovery of the electronic device when it is misplaced.
