A wrist strap assembly for a mobile device includes a case and a wrist strap. The case includes a bottom wall. A sidewall is disposed around a perimeter of the bottom wall and extends from the bottom wall to an upper distal end of the sidewall. The sidewall and bottom wall define an inner cavity sized to receive a mobile device therein. A channel is disposed around the upper distal end of the sidewall. The wrist strap is configured to have a stored position and a deployed position. When the wrist strap is in the stored position, the wrist strap is configured to frictionally fit within the channel of the case. When the wrist strap is in the deployed position, the wrist strap is configured to fit around the wrist of a user and to be connected to the case to secure the case to the user's wrist.

Various embodiments are directed to strap assemblies for securing a mobile device relative to an arm of a user and methods of using the same. Various embodiments are directed to a strap assembly comprising a strap panel comprising a rachet cable tension adjustment slot, a ratchet assembly for selective tightening of the strap assembly towards an arm and comprising a ratchet element on the strap panel; a dynamic cable attachment element disposed within the rachet cable tension adjustment slot and configured to move along a length of the rachet cable tension adjustment slot; and a ratchet cable extending between the ratchet element and the dynamic cable attachment element and having a looped cable portion configured for attachment to the dynamic cable attachment element; wherein the dynamic cable attachment element is movable along the length of the rachet cable tension adjustment slot in response to forces imparted from the ratchet cable.

A device incorporating both a magnet and a living hinge may be employed to construct cases to protect electronic devices and to function as a closure for cases and lidded containers. Such cases often can be bent three 360° allowing the cases to be either closed protecting devices therein are closed upon themselves allowing the case to function to secure an electronic device to a substrate such as an article of clothing. The devices of the disclosure can also be used to organize and hold loose items together.

A wrist-worn device is provided, which includes a device main body and an earphone. An accommodating groove for placing the earphone is provided on the device main body, a key is slidably mounted on one of the device main body and fee earphone. A clamping groove is provided on the other one of the device main body and the earphone, and a snapin head cooperating with the clamping groove is provided at a top of the key. The key is provided with a first attraction portion, the device main body or the earphone having the clamping groove is provided with a second attraction portion, and the first attraction portion is magnetically attracted with the second attraction portion in a case that the key slides forward until the snapin head is inserted into the clamping groove.

A lanyard fob having a fob and a lanyard. The fob having a front housing and a rear housing, wherein the front housing is configured to rotate about the rear housing, wherein the rear housing includes a first pocket and a second pocket. The lanyard having a first end and a second end, wherein the first pocket is configured to receive the first end and the second pocket is configured to receive the second end. The first end is permanently fixed within the first pocket and second end is configured to removably slide within the second pocket such that the lanyard fob is operable between an open position and closed position.

A protective case for a mobile device includes a base member that consists of a frontside, backside, and side walls which are shaped to fit and hold a mobile phone, a plurality of openings for accessing ports of the mobile phone, and a wallet component on the backside that includes a lid that can be opened or remain closed by a pair of magnetic members. The cover structure also includes a cord insert that attaches to the frontside of the base member. The opposite end of the cord insert has one or more clamps that securely hold a cord that can be used for holding and carrying the mobile device.

An extendable grip for a mobile device includes a base configured to couple with a mobile device or a case of the mobile device. The plurality of elastic elements are coupled with the base at a first end. The plurality of elastic elements are coupled with a top at a second end. The plurality of elastic elements are configured to provide an expansion force that biases the top away from the base towards a neutral position when in the collapsed position. The base and the top are configured to produce a magnetic force that biases the top and the base towards one another. The extendable grip has the neutral position and a collapsed position. A distance between the top and the base is greater in the neutral position than in the collapsed position. The magnetic force is stronger than the expansion force in the retracted position.

A wearable device has a housing containing electronics and a band that retains the wearable device on a user's arm. Each end of the housing has a receptacle with a ridge around the opening of the receptacle. A band comprises a strip of flexible material. A pair of protrusions with enlarged ends made from an elastomeric material extend from an inner surface of the band. A portion of the inner surface of the band between the protrusions is in contact with at least a portion of an upper surface of the housing. The band is joined to the housing by aligning each protrusion with a corresponding receptacle and applying pressure. As a result of the applied pressure part of the protrusion temporarily deforms, enters the receptacle, and resumes substantially the previous shape thus holding the protrusion within the receptacle and the band to the housing.

A load carrying and force distributing device to be worn on a user's limb is described. The device has one or more support members and a plurality of elongated compression members that couple with each of the support members at locations that are circumferentially spaced around the user's limb. The space between the plurality of compression members provides a relief area. The load carrying and force distributing device compresses the soft tissue of the limb against the bone structure to thereby reduce motion of the bone structure towards a wall of the load carrying and force distributing device when worn on the limb. A method of fitting a load carrying and force distributing device to a limb is also described. The method includes coupling the elongated compression members to each of the support members and adjusting compression to thereby reduce motion of the bone towards a wall of the device.

A hand strap bottle clip is configured for use with a bottle, and includes a clip attachable to an upper end of the bottle and having a lower end of the clip extending downwardly toward a lower end of the bottle when the clip is attached to the bottle. The clip includes upper and lower attachment locations or slots. A strap is attached to the clip at the upper and lower attachment locations to form a hand loop sized to accommodate a hand of a user.
