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.

A mobile device case or cover can include a distance marker for distance measurement. A mobile device coupled with the case may include a measurement application or module that can acquire video or still images of the distance marker. The measurement application can calculate a distance to the distance marker based on a captured image of the distance marker in the video or still images. The mobile device case can include a pocket, slot, or storage compartment for storing the distance marker.

A protective cover for a portable electronic device, which is configured for supporting the device and for storing an earphone and cable, includes a casing body, a winding portion, a limiting plate, and a support plate. The device is received in a receiving portion in the casing body and the winding portion protrudes out of one side of the casing body spaced apart from the receiving portion, the winding portion being able to accept the cable of the earphone wound onto it. The limiting plate covers one side of the winding portion spaced apart from the casing body and defining an opening. The support plate covers the opening of the limiting plate and is rotatably coupled to the limiting plate. A ring-shaped accommodating space is defined between the limiting plate and the casing body for receiving the cable of the earphone wound onto the winding portion.

A protection cover, according to various embodiments of the present invention, protects an electronic device and may comprise: a cover unit for covering the electronic device; and a suction unit, provided at the cover unit, for fixing the cover unit including the electronic device to the outside. The device as described above may be implemented in more varied ways according to the embodiments.

A compartmentalized protective case houses a portable electronic device and personal care items that are organized and held securely therewithin. The compartmentalized protective case has a major compartment for receiving and housing an electronic device such as a smart phone, cellular phone, music player, or other digital media device. At least one cell compartment constructed within the case receives and houses personal care items removably integrated therein. Personal care items can include at least one interchangeable replacement cell containing beauty items, cosmetics, hygienic items, oral care products such as floss or breath strips, medications, vitamins, breathe fresheners and/or health care products. A second cell compartment is preferably provided as a removable pouch or may contain a restraining system for holding identification cards, currency, visa or bank cards, and/or keys.

A protective case for an electronic device may have two layers: an inner cushion cover that surrounds a portion of the electronic device, and an outer rigid shell that surround part of the cushion cover. The outer shell has side walls that engage and hold the cushion cover on the electronic device. The cushion cover has reduced thickness portions so that the side walls are embedded in the cushion cover and provide a protective case having a substantially smooth exterior. The cushion cover is capable of absorbing shocks from impacts on the rigid outer shell. Coring on the inner portion of the cushion cover provides additional softness and the ability of the cushion cover to absorb shocks while using a higher density material, which is able to conform to the electronic device.

A protective case includes a chassis having sides and a back that define a cavity with an opening for an electronic device. The back has an inner back surface configured to be adjacent to a back surface of the installed electronic device. The protective case also includes a suspension system having a first cushion and a second cushion. The first cushion is configured to contact the back surface of the installed electronic device and to provide an air gap between the chassis and the back of the installed electronic device. The second cushion is configured to contact side surfaces of the installed electronic device and to contact a front surface of the installed electronic device to form a seal with the front surface of the installed electronic device.

A case for a portable electronic device includes a cavity and one or more studded surfaces. The cavity can receive at least a portion of the portable electronic device such that the portable electronic device is removable from the cavity through an opening in the cavity. The studded surfaces can be coupled with one or more building elements.

A protective case can be used with a mobile device having front and back surfaces and side surfaces extending between the front and back surfaces, including a top side, a bottom side, a right side, and a left side, the mobile device having a screen on the front surface. The protective case can include a shell configured to engage and substantially surround at least three of the surfaces of the mobile device and preferably all or nearly all surfaces of the mobile device while still capable of allowing the user to functionally interact with biometric sensor (such as a fingerprint sensor) and/or not interfere with the intended functionality of the proximity sensors of the mobile device.

A protective case system includes a mounting accessory and a protective case. The mounting accessory includes a dovetail rail member with a snap feature and an engagement feature. The protective case includes an inner liner for receiving and at least partially enclosing the electronic device when the electronic device is installed in the protective case; an outer shell extending around at least a portion of the inner liner; and a mount adapter removeably attached to the outer shell.
