A hinged support apparatus that can include a mounting plate, an elongated base, and two living hinges on the elongated base. The mounting plate can have a proximal and a distal end. The elongated base can have a proximal end, a midway point, and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the elongated base can be attached to at least a portion of the proximal end of the mounting plate and the midway point can create a proximal half and a distal half of the elongated base. A first of the two living hinges can be located between the proximal end and the midway point of the elongated base. A second of the two living hinges can be located between the first living hinge and the midway point of the elongated base. The two living hinges can be parallel to each other and can pivot in the same direction.

Disclosed herein is a case for a tablet shaped device, a method for removing a stylus therefrom, and a method for making a case for a tablet shaped device.

A display and storage case configured to exhibit a display element or store the display element is disclosed herein. The display and storage case includes a set of three flanged plates hingedly connected to each other, where one of the plates is foldable to conform across the other two plates. Two of the plates are inclinedly erected, and a display element is inclinedly attachable on to one of the inclinedly erected plates, to exhibit the display element on the inclined plate. Then, the display element is secured on to one of the plates, and the other two plates are closed to secure the display element therewithin. The set of three flanged plates includes a first plate, a second plate and a third plate hingedly connected to each other, where the length of the first plate is a summation of the length of the second plate and the third plate.

A grooved case construction selectively encases and displays an electronic device, and includes a grooved device-holding mechanism and either a panel assembly or a kickstand element made structurally cooperable with the device-holding mechanism. The device-holding mechanism is sized and shaped to removably receive an electronic device, and provides an anterior device-receiving section and a posterior component interface. The posterior component interface includes at least one, but preferably a plurality of component-receiving grooves for providing a grooved pattern. Both the panel assembly and the kickstand couple to the posterior component interface via the grooved pattern and may be so coupled in any number of orientations for providing the user with any number of options for displaying the device-holding mechanism. When outfitted with a panel assembly, a cover panel may selectively either cover the anterior device-receiving section or provide support for the device-holding mechanism.

A case assembly for an electronic device includes a case including a back wall and a peripheral wall projecting from a periphery of the back wall to define a case interior. The back wall includes an exterior surface and a plurality of slots formed through the back wall. A flexible member is positioned in the plurality of slots to form a plurality of expandable portions on the exterior surface of the back wall.

The invention relates to a stand for hand-held device and a protective case comprising the stand. The stand comprises a first plate, a second plate and a lifting device between the first plate and the second plate. The inner end of the first plate and the inner end of the second plate are pivoted with each other to form a pivoting portion. The lifting device controls the free end portion of the first plate and the free end portion of the second plate to be close to or away from each other. The lifting device comprises a limiting device and an elastic sheet, thereby when one end of the elastic sheet moves along the length direction of the second plate, and construes a first displacement relative to the pivoting portion, the free end portion of the first plate is driven up to form a second displacement relative to the free end portion of the second plate.

Disclosed is an electronic tablet case capable of concealing a firearm. The case is formed from a housing having closeable panels that are hingedly connected, defining an interior and exterior. The exterior of one of the panels includes mounting elements for securing to an electronic tablet. The interior of one panel includes at least one support element for holding a firearm in position. The panels can be secured together by use of a zipper, hook & loop or the like fastener.

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.

A device includes a housing with a recessed area and a raised peripheral section surrounding the recessed area, wherein the recessed area is recessed with respect to the raised peripheral section. A gripping mechanism is provided in the recessed area. The gripping mechanism is adjustable to hold portable electronic devices of a plurality of different sizes. A light source is provided in the raised peripheral section, to emit light from the raised peripheral section.

A two-piece mobile device holder having a case assembly and a mounting assembly is disclosed. The case assembly is configured to receive and secure a mobile device such as a smart phone. The mounting assembly is configured to be detachably coupled to other objects. Sets of permanent magnets are arranged in a circular pattern in the case assembly and the mounting assembly. The magnets in both the first and second set of magnets are arranged with alternating magnetic polarity. As the case assembly is placed on top of the mounting assembly, the magnets in the mounting assembly will attract magnets with opposite polarities in the case assembly. A user may detach the case assembly from the mounting assembly by rotating the case assembly such that the magnets in the case assembly are now adjacent to magnets in the mounting assembly of the same polarity.
