STICK-ON SECURE HOLDER FOR TRACKING DEVICES

A holder or mounting device for attaching or affixing an electronic tracking device such as an Apple™ AirTag™ or Tile™ to a tracked item or object. In example embodiments, the holder or mounting device may include an adhesive, a cord, a clip, a strap or other attachment means.

Mobile device temperature-regulating case
11520385 · 2022-12-06 · ·

A mobile device temperature-regulating case is disclosed. Mobile devices, such as tablet computers and smartphones, may be exposed to extreme temperatures, such as extreme cold and extreme heat. Under these extreme temperatures, the mobile devices may not function properly or at all. In that regard, the mobile device temperature-regulating case is configured to at least partially encase a side of the mobile device and conductively cool and/or heat the side of the mobile device. For example, a solid-state heat pump may conductively cool the side of the mobile device, with a fan convectively cooling the solid-state heat pump. In this way, temperature of the mobile device may be kept less than or greater than a predetermined temperature so that the mobile device may function properly.

Mobile device case with bonded soft resin insert and shell

A case for a mobile device includes a frame and an elastomeric shell. The elastomeric shell is received in the frame and has an outer surface, an inner surface opposite the outer surface and configured for receiving the mobile device, and a rim extending between the outer surface and the inner surface. The inner surface forms inner projections each having an inner extremity extending toward an inside of the elastomeric shell and each being configured for contact with the mobile device when arranged in the inner surface. The outer surface forms outer projections defining respective outer projection extremities and forms outer troughs extending between the outer projections and defining outer trough extremities. The outer projections extend toward a frame inner perimeter of the frame such that each of the outer trough extremities is spaced further from the frame than adjacent ones of the outer projection extremities.

Mobile device case for secured access and improvements
11520942 · 2022-12-06 · ·

Mobile device cases are provided which, in a first embodiment, selectively limit a user's ability to control the user's own mobile electronic device. The case includes front and rear portions joined together and defining therein an opening for receiving a mobile electronic device, such as a mobile phone. A locking mechanism is provided for selectively securing the opening in a first locked position to prevent operational access to the mobile electronic device by the user until a predetermined condition is met. The case includes an indicia of time visible to the user during the period of time of prevented operational access. In a further embodiment, a case is provided with first and second polymeric shells each having an interior and an exterior surface thereon and connected together by at least one hinge portion. The first and second shell portions form a cavity of sufficient size to cover a mobile electronic device sufficiently to prevent access by its user. Tamper resistant and ultrasonic sensor defeating mobile device case embodiments are also contemplated by this invention.

Accessory cover for a portable electronic device

An accessory device for a portable electronic device is described. The accessory device includes a front cover connected to a back cover. The front cover includes multiple segments rotatable with respect to each other. The segments include magnets that allow the segments, through magnetic coupling, to couple with another segment or with the portable electronic device. When the front cover engages the back cover, a user may remove, or pull away, a segment from the back cover, causing the remaining segments to sequentially fall away from the back cover. In some instances, when the front cover at least partially engages the back cover, one of the segments includes magnets designed to couple with magnets in the back cover, but not with magnets in another segment. The accessory device may further include an opening that receives a camera assembly of the portable electronic device and forms a mechanical interlock.

MOBILE TELEPHONE CASE STERILIZING MEANS
20220370663 · 2022-11-24 ·

A mobile telephone case has sanitizing systems incorporated within a case body capable of projecting sanitizing elements onto front side and back sides of the case for clearing the case. A control means is in electrical communication between the sanitizing systems and a power supply. Sets of nozzles located on front and rear sides pumps the sanitizing elements from a sanitizing solution reservoir in the case. Sets of UV-C LED lamps may also be located on front and rear sides of the case for further sanitizing the phone.

System comprising a portable switching device for use with a portable electronic device

A lens and/or a view screen of an electronic device having at least one case can be cleaned by wiping the view screen with a cleaning component wherein the cleaning component is configured to selectively couple to the at least one case or some other substrate using a magnetic attractive force. The cleaning devices may have secondary applications such as securing fly fishing lures, activating or deactivating a device having a magnetic switch, or preventing sunglasses from sinking. They may also be manufactured without a cleaning component for use with the secondary applications.
