A system may include an electronic device that includes an enclosure having a transparent cover. The electronic device may also include a display positioned below the transparent cover and configured to display a first graphical user interface and a second graphical user interface different from the first graphical user interface, and a touch sensor positioned below the transparent cover and configured to detect touch inputs applied to the transparent cover. The system may also include a protective case that includes a shell defining a cavity and configured to at least partially cover the enclosure of the electronic device when the electronic device is positioned in the cavity, and a near-field wireless communication antenna coupled to the shell and detectable by the electronic device. In response to detecting the near-field wireless communication antenna, the electronic device may be configured to switch from the first graphical user interface to the second graphical user interface.

An integrated mobile device enclosure which encloses a mobile device includes features configured to enhance the capturing and/or processing of content at the mobile device. An integrated mobile device enclosure may include a body configured to enclose at least a portion of a mobile device, one or more microphones configured to capture sound external to the mobile device, and one or more lights configured to support a camera of the mobile device. The one or more microphones and the one or more lights are used with a software application running on the mobile device for content capture and/or processing. The software application in at least some cases may selectively enable or disable ones of the microphones and/or lights based on environmental information measured within a location of the mobile device.

A communication system comprises a processing system configured to support data, voice and video communications. A docking station is coupled to the processing system and is configured to provide power and data connections to a personal computer wireless device. The personal computer wireless device is configured to provide power, data, and analog connections. The docking station includes a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone, such as a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), phone. The docking station may include a keypad configured to initiate, or otherwise enable, VoIP phone call functions. The docking station is coupled to the processing system over at least one pair of low-voltage wires having an electrical current sufficient to power the personal computer wireless device. The pair(s) of low-voltage wires may provide sufficient electrical current to charge a battery in the personal computer wireless device.

The present invention is a multifunctional cell phone case configured for providing protection to a cell phone while also providing charging for a battery of the cell phone.
