A mobile device case for coupling around a mobile device that includes a miniature camera module has defined therein a lens attachment aperture shaped both to permit light from an object to be captured as a digital image to travel along the optical path of the miniature camera module to a built-in image sensor of the miniature camera module of the mobile device, and to facilitate stable coupling of an auxiliary lens in optical alignment with the miniature camera module. The case comprises electric circuit components positioned to balance an attached auxiliary lens approximately at a grip location.

The present invention provides a device and method for protecting the handle of a handbag comprising an approximately rectangular piece of fabric having a top face and a bottom, face and a left side and a right side and a closure for joining the left side to the right side. It also provides a device and method for protecting the handle of a handbag comprising an approximately rectangular piece of fabric having a top face and a bottom face wherein said fabric is adapted to be coiled around the handle of the handbag and ends adapted to be tied around the handle of the handbag.

A mobile device case is configured to facilitate coupling of an auxiliary lens assembly along an optical path of a miniature camera module of a mobile device. A case processor and electrical circuitry embedded within the case are configured to detect the presence of the auxiliary lens assembly that is coupled to the lens attachment interface. A lens recognition sensor is coupled to the case processor and electrical circuitry and is configured to identify the auxiliary lens with a specific lens type.

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 strap attachment device includes a strap connector configured to attach to a strap and a connecting plate secured on the surface of an article such as a bag or suitcase. The strap connector includes a connector post configured to removably engage and be secured by a locking member located beneath the connecting plate. The locking member is biased into a closed position by a mechanical biasing means, such as a spring. The connector post may include a flanged end configured to partially disengage the locking member causing the flanged end to mate with and be secured by the locking member responsive to being inserted into the connecting plate. A pull tab is further disposed on a pull track within the connecting plate. A user can disengage the connector post from the locking member by moving the pull tab along the pull track.

A travel accessory in the form of a travel bag, has at least two fabric pockets, two connecting strips, and a shoulder strap. The fabric pockets are connected to each other via the connecting strips. The travel bag is designed to be secured to a suitcase, specifically a carry-on sized suitcase. When a suitcase is standing on its wheels, the travel bag is laid over the suitcase, such that one pocket is on either side of the suitcase, and the connecting strips are over the top. The connecting strips are sized to reach from one side of the suitcase to the other. When the travel bag is not being secured to a suitcase, it can be carried like a purse by using the shoulder strap.

A case that is convertible into a stool and a working surface is provided. The case includes a worktable, a front panel removably secured to a front side of the worktable, and a rear panel removably secured to a rear side of the worktable. The front and rear panels each include a slot inwardly extending from a first edge thereof. The front and rear panels may be removed from the worktable and interconnected by sliding the slot of the front panel through the slot of the rear panel. The stool seat is removably attachable to the case and/or to the interconnected panels to form a stool.

The backpack with retractable handle and wheels comprises an extendable handle, a plurality of wheel mechanisms and a luggage item. The luggage item is modified to further comprise a center channel, a grip aperture, a plurality of wheel cavities, and a plurality of wheel covers. The extendable handle is stored within the center channel. The extendable handle projects through the grip aperture such that the extendable handle may be withdrawn from the center channel. The backpack with retractable handle and wheels is designed such that each of the plurality of wheel mechanisms is stored in a wheel cavity selected from the plurality of wheel cavities. Each of the plurality of wheel mechanisms is mechanically linked to the extendable handle such that when the extendable handle is withdrawn from the center channel each of the plurality of wheels extends out of its corresponding wheel channel.
