A cradle for a mobile device includes a base; sidewalls extending from the base and defining, in combination with the base, a cavity for receiving the mobile device; at least one contact extending out of the base; and at least one biasing tab. Each of the at least biasing tab includes a first portion biased to extend out of the base and arranged to engage the mobile device during loading of the mobile device prior to engagement of the at least one contact by the mobile device to protect the at least one contact during the loading of the mobile device.

A device having a top half and a bottom half divided by a perforated hinge mechanism is provided. The top half may contain a graphic image and be used as a protective cover or kickstand, and the bottom half contains a reusable elastomeric adhesive. The adhesive can be on both sides of the bottom half. The device can be used to mount any flat, non-porous or semi-porous object to another flat, non-porous or semi-porous surface or object. The shape and size of the device does not affect its functionality and can therefore be modified as needed.

A protective case for a mobile terminal, includes a shell and a ring assembly, the shell is defined with a mounting chamber for accommodating the mobile terminal, the ring assembly includes a metal ring and a mounting portion, the mounting portion is fixed on the shell, the metal ring is arranged on a side of the shell opposite to the mounting chamber, the metal ring is pivotally connected with the mounting portion through a fixing shaft, the metal ring and the fixing shaft are jointly formed into an annular body, and a nick is defined on the annular body. As the mounting portion is fixed on the shell, the metal ring is arranged on the side of the shell opposite to the mounting chamber, and the metal ring is pivotally connected with the mounting portion through the fixing shaft, the metal ring can hence be firmly connected with the shell.

According to the present disclosure, one or more of a connection ring, a connection string, and beads are selectively separably connected to a band for supporting a mobile phone with a finger inserted therein, so a user can present his/her more individual and aesthetic decoration.

Further, a support plate insertion hole for applying a mobile phone support configuration is formed at the center of the rear side of an existing mobile phone or mobile phone case such that a band support plate having the band insertion hole for inserting the band is inserted and supported by a locking step formed at the support plate insertion hole or the band support plate.

Accordingly, it is possible to more easily support and use a mobile phone equipped with the mobile phone support configuration while keeping the mobile phone thin without manufacturing molds one by one for the models of mobile phones that are continuously and variously changed or without an increase of the thickness of the mobile phone by a separate attachment protruding outward due to the mobile phone support configuration.

A band insertion groove is formed on the inner surface of the band support plate between the band insertion holes so that the band inserted in the band insertion holes is seated in the band insertion groove.

Further, a decorative pattern is attached around the band support plate and the support plate insertion hole of the mobile phone or mobile phone case, so decoration can be presented.

A cradle can be used to capture video of an object, such as hair. That video can then be used to extract and visualize color information relating to that material using a colorcloud. The colorcloud contains all the colors that were present in one or more frames of the video. The cradle comprises a video recording device that is able to see the material through a window on the cradle. A smartphone can be used with the cradle to act as the video recording device, as well as provide lighting.

A phone stand designed to hold a tablet, smartphone or an e-reader in an easily viewable position. The stand includes a single body of wood, metal or plastic, and is comprised of a taller rear wall, a pair of parallel side surfaces and two front legs forming the front portion; each front leg has a plurality of angular holding slots cut at different angles to support the smartphone; an inclined middle portion to support the rear surface of the smartphone; and a longitudinal support surface taller than the inclined middle portion and equal in height to the rear wall to further support the rear surface of the smartphone. To place a phone in a longitudinal of landscape orientation, a first placement space is placed between the rear wall and the longitudinal support surface and a second placement space is placed between the support surface and the inclined middle portion.
