A portable protective case for the safe transport and storage of measuring devices and other electrical equipment. The protective case is designed to protect a valuable and sensitive measuring device located inside it against theft, unauthorized use and/or potentially harmful environmental influences. The case comprises communication means for sending and receiving data via a wireless network, as well as for receiving localization data, which enable the communication unit to provide at least a rough location of the case.

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.

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.

To simplify shooting operations. There are therefore provided a casing, an attachment part configured to mount the casing on the neck of a user, and an optical system that is provided at a lower part of the casing and has an optical axis facing downward relative to the horizontal direction.

A collapsible storage container that is insertable into a handbag and which may be used to retain a camera and one or more camera accessories so as to protect the camera, accessories, or any other such items. The collapsible storage container includes a bottom, a front, a back side and dividers disposed between the front side and the back side. The bottom side piece and the divider pieces have a unidirectional grooved channel disposed along the length of the pieces so that the pieces are folded in half in one direction to permit the storage container to collapse flat, with the dividers being sandwiched between the front and back sides. Optionally, the collapsible storage container may have one or more pockets for other items, and may have a flap-top cover extensible over the top of the collapsible storage container.
