There is provided a device for securing a compact portable device to an external arrangement and the device includes a base attachable to the external arrangement, a panel, an attachment for securing the compact portable device to the panel, and a movement element movably connecting the panel to the base in a manner such that the panel can selectively be oriented in one orientation to support the compact portable device in generally facing relationship to the base generally and in another orientation in which the compact portable device is not in generally facing relationship to the base.

This invention is for a portable electronic device hanger, which is specifically designed to be wore as a necklace. The hanger is designed as compact as possible, lightweight and with easy accessibility to the electronic device, including an adjustable lanyard which is fully retractable to facilitate storage. The electronic device is easily attached or detached from the hanger.

Provided are lanyards for a handheld electronic device featuring a loop section having a section of braided or woven strands of fiber and having a section of very thin profile being adapted for fitting between a handheld device and a case or cover placed thereon. The lanyards can be used with existing cases or covers. The lanyards are very strong, lightweight and help prevent damage to or loss of the handheld devices.

A cushioning platform to be used when reading print media such as books or looking at a tablet computer or similar electronic device while reclining. The user places the platform between their book or device and their body, on top of any clothing or blanket. The platform distributes the weight of the user's hands and the book or device over a larger area, increasing comfort. The platform also locates the bottom of the book or device above the user's clothes or blanket, helping to prevent the user's clothes or blanket from interfering with page turning, or from obscuring the bottom of the device screen or interfering with use of the home button.

A mobile phone holder is disclosed for mounting a mobile phone to the dashboard of a car. This mobile phone holder is integrated into the back of a mobile phone or is attached to the back surface of the mobile phone through adhesive pads, or suction cups, or is incorporated into accessories of mobile phones such as attachable card holding wallets, and etc. One embodiment of this mobile phone holder creates a closed loop around the air vent bars. Hence, shakes of the car will not cause sudden detachment and falling of the phone. In Addition, this mobile phone holder is portable and is carried by the mobile phone. Hence, the user can readily have it upon using a temporary car. Moreover, since this mobile phone holder is not permanently stayed in the car, it is not exposed to extreme temperatures and thus its wear and tear is lower than conventional phone holders. The loop that is formed by this apparatus can also be used for mounting a mobile phone to the handlebar of a shopping cart, the handlebar of a bike, safety belt of a car, a belt loop, belt of a user, strap of a bag, or other accessories of a user. This apparatus can also be used as a general purpose fastener for fastening two or more objects together, hanging objects from a bar. Such general purpose fastener can be used as a toy, strap of a watch, or bracelet as well.

A strap uniting device for a wearable device is provided. The strap uniting device includes a base, at least one guide protruded from the base, and at least one catching part protruded from the base, and constructed different from the at least one guide, and arranged parallel with the at least one guide.

A beverage bottle for a portable electronic device, includes a hand-held container comprising a surrounding wall and having a fluid compartment formed within the surrounding wall, and an accessible station integrated with the hand-held container, wherein the accessible station has a window cavity for accommodating the portable electronic device therein so as to allow the portable electronic device through the window cavity. Therefore, the portable electronic device is carried and protected by the container and is accessible through the accessible station.

A grip system comprises a protective case and a grip apparatus. The grip apparatus is removably attachable to a back surface of the protective case. The grip apparatus includes a base, two flexible strips or straps, and a cap. The base is configured to be removably inserted into the recess in the back of the protective case. The two flexible strips are each attached to the base. The cap is proximate a top surface of the base when in a stowed position and extendable away from the top surface of the base when the cap is pulled outward to an extended position. Each flexible strip is configured or adapted to slide within a slot or channel in the cap. Each flexible strip slides into the slot when the grip apparatus is transitioned to the stowed position and slides out of the slot when transitioned to the extended position.

The present disclosure generally relates to device carriers configured to be mounted to a limb or appendage of a user. In various configurations, the device carriers disclosed herein are configured to be mounted to an arm of a user to provide convenient access to an electronic device. In various embodiments, the disclosed apparatus may include a mechanism for mounting the device to the user's limb and a supplemental fastening mechanism. In some configurations the mechanism for mounting the apparatus to the user's limb includes two or more elastic loops having differing diameters. In various embodiments the supplemental fastening mechanism includes a wrapping portion configured to wrap around the user's limb, which may further include a retaining mechanism such as hook-and-loop fabric configured to interface with hook-and-loop fabric on the elastic loops to secure the apparatus to a user in a wrapped state.

A phone tethering device for tethering a phone to a user to deter droppage and loss of the phone includes a first fastener, which is engaged to a phone case, and second fastener, which is engaged to a tether. The second fastener is complementary to the first fastener and thus is positioned to selectively engage the first fastener to removably engage the tether to the phone case. A connector, which is engaged to the tether distal from the second fastener, can engage the tether to a user, an article engaged to the user, or an item in possession of the user, to tether the phone case and a phone positioned in the phone case to the user, the article, or the item. The tether deters droppage and loss of the phone case and a phone positioned in the phone case. The tether also facilitates carrying of the phone without use of a pocket.
