A phone tethering device for tethering a phone to a user to deter droppage and loss of the phone includes a first fastener, which is engaged to a phone case, and second fastener, which is engaged to a tether. The second fastener is complementary to the first fastener and thus is positioned to selectively engage the first fastener to removably engage the tether to the phone case. A connector, which is engaged to the tether distal from the second fastener, can engage the tether to a user, an article engaged to the user, or an item in possession of the user, to tether the phone case and a phone positioned in the phone case to the user, the article, or the item. The tether deters droppage and loss of the phone case and a phone positioned in the phone case. The tether also facilitates carrying of the phone without use of a pocket.

A compact, decorative and multi-functional portable power charger and cable apparatus includes a portable charger unit with a housing where the housing encloses an internal rechargeable battery unit for connecting to and recharging one or more electronic devices, and a charging cable extending from the charger housing and in operative communication with the rechargeable battery. At least the charger housing is surrounded by an aesthetic feature, which can comprise a tasseled fitting, a puffball, a luggage tag, or a doll or teddy bear to hide the charger unit. Electrical fittings including power connection interfaces for connecting the charger and cable apparatus with at least one electronic device, or an external power source, or both, can be provided on the charging cable and also hidden by the aesthetic feature. The power charger and cable apparatus can be attached to a fashion accessory, such as a purse, a bag, luggage or clothing.

A lanyard is provided. The lanyard may include a lanyard cord which is attached to a personal item such as safety glasses or an access card, an earplug cord which is attached to a first earplug and a second earplug, and a flexible retractable sheath.

A particular apparatus includes a first electronic component, a second electronic component, and a connecting element that is detachably connectable to the first electronic component and to the second electronic component. The first electronic component is connectable via the connecting element to the second electronic component to form a wearable item. The first electronic component includes a camera, the second electronic component includes an energy storage component, and the first electronic component is configured to receive power from the second electronic component via the connecting element.

A wearable power source system is provided. The wearable power source system embodies a wearable power assembly having a wearable adapted to retain a power source, and a tool adapted to be powered by the retained power source. An electrical connection may connect the tool to the power source. A user may don the wearable power assembly, whereby a tool's power source is worn by its user, making handling the tool less of a burden. Clothing relative to the wearable power source system will be designed and become part of the user. Slacks, jackets, vest, apron, wristband, belt, hat jewelry, belly/fanny pack, and other such clothing/personal embodiment items will be designed to become part of the person and the wearable power source system.

A platform apparatus is provided which may be configured to support an electronic device. The platform apparatus may include a base, an extension, a support, and a lockable hinge. The extension may be adjustable and locked into a number of configurations. The platform apparatus may be configured for use by a standing, seated, or reclining user, or to support an electronic device in a free-standing configuration.

An electronic device with extendable strap and different communication modes depending on the state of the strap comprises a shell, at least one rotating mechanism, a strap, a sensor, and a processor. The shell defines at least one first receiving cavity, the rotating mechanism is received in the first receiving cavity. One end of the strap is wound on the at least one rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism is able to rotate and store spring force under a driving of the strap. The sensor communicates with the processor to determine the state of the strap according to a rotation direction of the rotating mechanism and thus determine whether the strap is retracted to allow touch screen input by a user, or extended to switch to voice communication with the user.

A stretchable bottle container for usage as an umbrella accessory, or a packaging and storage container. The stretchable bottle container comprises: a stretchable bottle body (1), a bottle cap (2), and hanging accessories (3) for portability purposes. The opening of the stretchable bottle body (1) is connected with the bottle cap (2) through a detachable tightening seal connection which is airtight and waterproof. The body (1) of the stretchable bottle is a cylinder which has one closed end and one open end, wherein the wall of the cylinder contains stretchable wavy structures. The size difference between the diameters of the opening of the bottle and that of the body (1) is less than 10%. The opening of the bottle body is soft and deformable under the pressure of finger squeezes.

Hanging accessories (3) for portable purposes are connectable with the bottle cap (2) through a sectional structure which is capable of undertaking repeated detachments and re-attachments or a hanging carabiner which has open and shut configurations. The present utility invention provides a stretchable bottle container with technical advantages of having a soft and wide mouth opening which is deformable under finger squeezes, compactness in stock volume, high portability, good compatibility for different sizes and a waterproof and airtight insulation.
