Mobile device case with foldable speaker system
A mobile device case is disclosed. The mobile device case includes a housing comprising a cavity configured to partially enclose a mobile device, a first and second foldable panel having first and second speakers pivotally connected to the housing, wherein the first and second foldable panels rotate from a folded position where the first and second foldable panels are configured to be folded on a back surface of the bottom surface of the cavity to an unfolded position where the first and second foldable panels extend laterally in a parallel way relative to the bottom surface of the cavity.
Corner bumper
A corner bumper is adapted to be mounted to a corner of a substantially hard-sided carryable case, transport container, or the like, to act as a shock absorber for protecting the case and its contents from exterior impact. The bumper comprises intersecting wall portions to substantially cover the adjacent planes of a corner. The bumper includes feet elements to act as a base upon which the case can stand and space the base a distance from the underlying support surface.
Electronic device cover
A cover for forming a watertight enclosure enclosing an electronic device having a display includes: (a) a first member comprising: (i) a protective membrane operable to transmit touchscreen-type user input to the display; and (ii) a sealing mount attached to the protective member, the sealing mount defining a registration profile extending along the entire perimeter of the protective membrane, the sealing mount defining a stanchion projecting parallel and spaced-apart from the registration profile; and (b) a second member comprising: (iii) a rigid plastic frame; and (iv) a shell over-molded to the frame, the shell being made of a soft and elastomeric material and defining a compression profile extending along the entire perimeter of the shell, the shell at its compression profile being dimensioned for interlocking with the sealing mount at its registration profile so as to removably form a watertight seal between the first and second members.
COVER FOR AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A cover for an electronic device comprises a back sheet portion comprising a first section and a second section and a front sheet portion comprising a first section and a second section. The second end of the front sheet portion is connected to the second section of the back sheet portion, and the first end of the front sheet portion is connected to the first section of the back sheet portion at a distance of the first end of the back sheet portion, the cover having an end section. The cover is foldable between a cover position and a support position. In the cover position, the back sheet portion and the front sheet portion are substantially planar and resting against each other. In the support position, at least a part of the end section rests against at least a part of the first section of the front sheet portion.
CONNECTOR FOR FLUIDLY SEALING AN APERTURE OF A PROTECTIVE CASE
A protective case for a portable electronic device is provided. The portable electronic device has a device connector for transmission of data and/or power between the device connector and a data and/or power source via a reciprocal connector assembly. The case includes an aperture disposed proximate the device connector of the installed portable electronic device, the aperture passing between an outer surface and an inner surface of the case and defined by a surface between the outer and inner surfaces, the aperture having a circumference; and a compliant seal surrounding the circumference of the aperture, the compliant seal to interface with at least a portion of the backshell portion of the reciprocal connector assembly to seal the aperture when the reciprocal connector assembly is inserted through the aperture to interface with the device connector of the installed portable electronic device.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE CASE WITH AUDIO DEVICE STORAGE
A protective case for a portable electronic device includes a shell, an aperture, an internal electrical connector, a rechargeable battery, docking receptacles, and an external electrical connector. The shell receives at least a portion of the portable electronic device while the aperture provides access to a user interface of the installed portable electronic device. The internal electrical connector electrically interfaces with the installed portable electronic device. The docking receptacles provide docking locations for removably stowing wireless earbuds when the earbuds are not in use. Each docking receptacle includes an electrical interface for electrically interfacing the rechargeable battery of the protective case to the wireless earbuds for recharging. The external electrical connector receives electrical power from an external power source for recharging the rechargeable battery of the protective case.
Waterproof enclosure for electronic device
A waterproof enclosure is provided with a bag including an internal space configured to receive an electronic device, a hole disposed at a forward end, and a sealable opening disposed at a position other than the hole wherein the internal space communicates with both the hole and the sealable opening; a flexible sleeve sealingly disposed in the hole and including an axial channel communicating with both the internal space and a space externally of the bag; and a flexible plug disposed in the channel and including an axial tunnel having a forward end and a rear end, and a crack axially extending from the forward end of the tunnel to a rear end of the tunnel and radially extending from the tunnel to a peripheral surface of the plug.
Beverage Bottle with Accessible Station for Portable Electronic Device
A beverage bottle for a portable electronic device, includes a hand-held container comprising a surrounding wall and having a fluid compartment formed within the surrounding wall, and an accessible station integrated with the hand-held container, wherein the accessible station has a window cavity for accommodating the portable electronic device therein so as to allow the portable electronic device through the window cavity. Therefore, the portable electronic device is carried and protected by the container and is accessible through the accessible station.
CASE FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A case for a portable electronic device that includes a base layer and a perimeter bumper coupled to the base layer for protecting the device is disclosed herein. The base layer is made from a first material and a perimeter bumper is made of a second material, different from the first material. The perimeter bumper has a different elasticity than the base layer. The elastic frame perimeter bumper extends around a perimeter of the case to provide cushioning or padding for side edges of the case.
Electronic device and method for communicating with external device through power source line
An electronic device includes a battery, a charging integrated circuit (IC) configured to control a charging state of the battery, a connector pin for receiving power from an external device, the connector pin including a first connector pin for receiving a high potential voltage from the external device and a second connector pin for receiving a low potential voltage from the external device, a touch sensor, and a controller. The controller receives power from the external device through the connector pin based on the detection of the external device being connected to the connector pin, charges the battery using a high potential voltage, detects a user input through the touch sensor while the battery is charged, and stops the charging of the battery and outputs a current corresponding to state information of the electronic device through the first connector pin based on the detection of the given user input.
