An electronic device includes a housing including a through hole, a sheet which is impermeable to water, permeable to air, and located to cover the through hole, and a cover which is attached to the housing and partially covers an outer surface of the housing while the cover covers the through hole. The housing includes a first portion not covered with the cover even while the cover is attached to the housing. The cover and the housing include at least one recess and at least one projection which can be fitted to the recess, in any of them respectively, so as to function as a shield in at least a part between the first portion and the through hole.

An armband that holds an electronic device is presented. The armband includes a pouch which includes a window and an opening configured to allow an electronic device to be inserted into the pouch. The armband also includes an arm strap wherein the proximate end of the arm strap is coupled to the pouch, and wherein the arm strap includes: holes arranged in a specified pattern; loop cells at specified locations along the length of the arm strap; and a hook cell located at a distal end of the arm strap. The armband further includes a ring coupled to the pouch configured to allow the distal end of the arm strap to be passed through the ring and pulled toward the proximate end of the arm strap so that the hook cell can be coupled to one or more loop cells.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for fabricating an electronic device with an integrated railing system that detachably couples mounting hardware to the electronic device. By selectively detaching the mounting hardware, the electronic device may be made more compact and portable. In some embodiments, the railing system is fabricated substantially contemporaneous to fabricating the electronic device, such as by extrusion of the railing and the electronic device together. This fabrication approach may reduce the overall cost and complexity of manufacturing the railing system.

An apparatus for carrying sound production components is disclosed, comprising a rigid frame including vertically interspaced first, second, and third surfaces. Each of the first surface, second surface, and third surface releasably engage with a plurality of sound production components. A first wing and a second wing are pivotally mounted to the third surface to releasably engage with at least one of the plurality of sound production components. A bag receives the rigid frame in a folded configuration and encloses the rigid frame and the plurality of sound production components.

A protective and/or ornamental case for a foldable handheld electronic device. The case includes a front shell and a back shell pivotally connected to a hinge cover by one or more coupling mechanisms. A first portion of an electronic device is inserted into the front shell and a second portion of the electronic device is inserted into the back shell. The coupling mechanisms retain the front and back shells operatively engaged with the hinge cover as the electronic device housed in the case is pivotally or hingedly opened and closed, help prevent unintended opening or closing of the device, and keep the device open or closed when so positioned by a user.

A flexible enclosure having an opening that is used to retain and store a cord or other object. The flexible enclosure is shape holding and reversible, and in use may be reversed around the object to be stored.

Embodiments describe a magnetic securing component including a set of magnets positioned laterally adjacent to one another and having a curved top surface defined by individual curved top surfaces of each magnet in the set of magnets. The set of magnets includes: first and second magnets positioned laterally adjacent to one another, where the first and second magnets each have a polarity that is oriented parallel to a vertical dimension; and third and fourth magnets laterally positioned from the first and second magnets, where the third magnet is positioned adjacent to the first magnet and the fourth magnet is positioned adjacent to the second magnet, the third and fourth magnets each having a magnetic polarity that is oriented at an angle with respect to the vertical dimension.

A case for a portable electronic device includes a housing, a lid, and a hinge rotatably coupling the lid to the housing such that the lid is operable between an open position and a closed position. The hinge includes a first multipole magnet coupled to the lid such that the first multipole magnet rotates with the lid. A second multipole magnet is coupled to the housing and is arranged coaxially with the first multipole magnet and such that the first multipole magnet and the lid rotate relative to the second multipole magnet. The lid is unstable between the open and closed positions, such that, between the open position and the closed position, the lid is biased toward either the open position or the closed position depending on an angle of orientation of the lid relative to the housing.

A receiving box for two hearing assistance devices including a housing, a cover, and an L-shaped hinge is provided. The housing includes a hinge recess, and two receiving slots independent of each other. The two receiving slots are configured to respectively receive the hearing assistance devices. The L-shaped hinge includes two opposite ends. One end is pivoted in the hinge recess, and the other end is fixed to the cover.

An electronic device case is provided. The electronic device case includes a first body, a first connection part coupled to the first body, a second body, a second connection part coupled to the second body and movably connected to the first connection part, an accommodating space formed by the first body and the second body, a first magnet fixed on the first connection part and including a first portion, and a second magnet fixed on the second connection part and including a second portion having a same polarity as the first portion. The electronic device case is transitioned, by movement of the second connection part with respect to the first connection part, to a first state in which the accommodating space is opened, and a second state in which the accommodating space is closed.
