Disclosed is a wearable sunblock container, comprising a sunblock holder including an interior cavity configured to contain sunblock, and a strap configured to attach the sunblock holder to a user's body. In certain embodiments, the sunblock container is in the form of a wristwatch, wherein the sunblock holder resembles a wristwatch timepiece, and the strap includes a first strap end coupled to a first side of the sunblock holder and a second strap end coupled to a second side of the sunblock holder.

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 pouch or pocket may act as a container and may be used to securely hold objects (e.g., cell phone, keys, wallet, etc.) during athletic activity (e.g., running). The pouch may be a standalone item or integrally formed as part of other items. The pouch may hold the object to be stored in place within the pouch or pocket. The pouch may provide some cushioning or impact force attenuation to protect the object being held within the pouch or pocket. Additionally, the pouch may be attached to a garment, such as running clothes. The pouch includes an outer envelope sealable by a closure and a one-way valve with foam layers located inside the pouch. After the object is placed in the pouch, the closure is closed, and the air within the pouch is expelled via the one-way valve by compressing the foam layers from the outside.

A wearable armband having a secure pocket defined therein for holding a user's personal cellphone or similar device. The armband may incorporate additional liner panels allowing for fast and efficient removal and insertion of the user's device without removing the armband while simultaneously providing a secure hold to prevent movement or unwanted removal of the device from the armband.

The present invention provides a carrying case including: a first main body having a semi-ellipsoidal shell shape; and a second main body having a semi-ellipsoidal shell shape corresponding to the first main body so that the second main body is coupled to the first main body to define an ellipsoid, in which a coupling end of the first main body, which is coupled to the second main body, has two or more pairs of connected convex portions and two or more pairs of connected concave portions, such that a lateral side at a major axis side has a taegeuk shape, in which a coupling end of the second main body has concave portions formed at positions corresponding to the convex portions of the first main body, and convex portions formed at positions corresponding to the concave portions of the first main body.

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 support for a hand-operated device is disclosed herein. The support comprises a band having an inner surface configured to surround and contact at least a portion of a user's forearm, and an opposite outer surface, and a cordholder attached to the band, the cordholder having a length extending diagonally relative to the length direction of the user's radius when the band is mounted on the user's forearm. Corresponding systems and methods also are disclosed.

A performance monitoring system includes an athletic band or other article of apparel worn by a user, with a pocket supported by the article and defining a cavity, where the pocket has a sensor opening extending through an inner wall of the pocket and an access opening providing access to the cavity. The system also includes an electronic module received in the cavity such that the module can be inserted and removed from the cavity through the access opening. The module has a projection on an underside of the electronic module and a sensor mounted on the projection, where the projection extends through the sensor opening when the electronic module is received in the cavity and is configured to place the sensor in close proximity to skin of the user, such that the sensor is configured to sense a physiological parameter of the user.

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.
