An expandable device includes a base having a top side and a bottom side, an expanding mechanism operably coupled to the base, and a button. The bottom side of the base is adapted to engage a portion of a portable electronic device. The button has a top side and a bottom side and is operably coupled to the expanding mechanism. The expanding mechanism is selectively movable between a first configuration whereby the button is disposed in a first, collapsed configuration and a second configuration whereby the button is disposed in a second, expanded configuration. Upon urging the button to the first configuration, the expandable device retains the button in the first configuration, and upon further urging the button towards the base, the button is released from the first configuration and moves to the second configuration.

A protective case system includes a protective case having a shell configured for receiving and removably retaining an electronic device. The protective case system also includes an accessory panel pivotably attached to the protective case, wherein the accessory panel is configured to pivot between a first position in which the accessory panel is positioned against a back surface of the protective case and a second position in which the accessory panel is configured to serve as a stand for the protective case. The protective case system also includes a device grip attached to the accessory panel.

A wearable pouch operable to hold at least one portable battery pack and other power or communications equipment. The wearable pouch includes a main body with a front side, a back side opposite the front side, at least one sealable opening, and at least one opening for at least one lead from the at least one portable battery pack secured within the wearable pouch.

Various embodiments provide for an improved attachment apparatus for attaching the attachment apparatus to an ear of a user using a hook body. The hooking body may be secured to the user's ear, such as in response to receiving a deforming force from the user that causes the hooking body to deform in conformity with at least a portion of the root of the user's ear. In some embodiments, the hooking body may be coupled to the attachment body via the bridging member of the attachment body. Accordingly, the hooking body may be configured to secured the attachment apparatus to the user's ear. In some embodiments, a sealing body may be coupled to the plate member of the attachment body, and the cover body may form at least a partial acoustic seal around the user's ear while the hooking body is secured to the attachment apparatus to the ear.

A spinning accessory for use with a socket accessory attached to a mobile electronic device. The spinning accessory includes a bearing assembly sized to receive the socket accessory, and a gripping member carried by an inner surface of the bearing assembly. The bearing assembly facilitates rotation of a portion of the spinning accessory relative to the socket accessory. The gripping member is adapted to securely engage a portion of the socket accessory.

A personal item management apparatus includes a bag including opposing first and second side panels, opposing first and second end panels, and a bottom panel. In several embodiments, a first foot is formed by the bottom panel and/or the first side panel, and a second foot is formed by the bottom panel and/or the second side panel. When placed on a flat surface, the first and second feet are adapted to provide support so that the apparatus stands upright and at least a portion of the bottom panel is spaced apart from the flat surface. In several embodiments, a zipper is coupled to each of the opposing first and second side panels. A wearable band may be coupled to the zipper so that the zipper is openable and closeable by moving: the wearable band relative to the bag; and/or the bag relative to the wearable band.

A case assembly for a portable electronic device includes an expandable device having a device body with an end and a case body arranged to receive a portable electronic device on a first face. The case body includes an aperture formed in a second face, which is opposite the first face, and is sized to receive at least a portion of the expandable device. A buffer at least partially surrounds the aperture of the case body and includes a wall extending away from the first face of the case body. The wall is arranged to surround at least a portion of the device body when the expandable device is coupled to the case body. The device body is movable within the aperture from a first position to a second position.

An expandable device includes a body with a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis. The body is movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. A button is coupled to the first end of the body and includes an inner surface and an engaging member carried by the inner surface. A platform includes an outer surface and a collar extending away from the outer surface and the collar defines a cavity. A locking device is carried by the second end of the body, and a portion of the locking device is adapted to be removably disposed in the cavity of the platform for releasably coupling the body to the platform. When the body is in the collapsed configuration, the engaging member of the button engages the locking device such that the locking device is rotatable relative to the platform between an unlocked and a locked configuration.

The invention is a collapsible cord wrapping device for clipping onto the cords of earbuds or similar devices when in use, which device can be unfolded for use as a cord wrapping base during earbud storage to prevent tangling.
