A case a portable listening device. The case includes a housing having an interior space to receive the portable listening device; a lid attached to the housing; a rechargeable battery and first and second wireless power receiving elements configured to receive electric charge from a wireless power transmitter during a charging event. The case further includes switching circuitry that is configured to disable one of the first or second wireless power receiving elements during a charging event when the disabled element is receiving power less efficiently than the other element.

A telescopically-extendable handle and rechargeable power supply assembly for mounting in a piece of luggage. The assembly includes a pair of spaced apart guide tubes supporting a pair of telescopically-extendable rods joined to a handle structure. A base housing component is mounted in an aperture formed in the luggage, and has a top surface. A battery module casing is mounted to and beneath the base housing component, and disposed substantially in the same plane as and between the pair of spaced apart guide tubes. A rechargeable DC battery power module is contained in the battery module casing, and provides a DC battery recharging port and a set of DC power supplying ports. Each such port is directly accessible through the top surface of the base housing component. A power port cover panel is hinged to the base housing component and has a closed configuration and an open configuration.

An improved VR headset accessory, and in particular, a case for carrying the VR headset that has advanced functionality necessary for facilitating portable maintenance and usage. For example, the accessory houses additional batteries and/or power source connections for charging the VR headset as well as ancillary devices for controlling the display of content in the VR headset to create a controlled viewing environment. The accessory also houses a communication component for sharing content with a remote server.

The present disclosure provides various embodiments of cases for lifting portable electronic devices (PEDs) from a compartment of the case. Such a case may comprise a compartment with a rear wall and a front wall coupled to the rear wall with a space disposed between the walls. A lift member may be at least partially disposed within the compartment with an end of the lift member coupled to the front wall. The lift member may comprise a handle and a cradle portion. The cradle portion may support the PED within the compartment and upwardly lift the PED relative to the compartment when the handle is upwardly displaced by a user. Accordingly, a larger portion of the PED is exposed outside of the compartment allowing for easy removal of the PED from the compartment.

A field-operable tactical operations management system. The system includes a case and a field interface within the case. The case has a rigid base and a rigid lid that is pivotally coupled to the rigid base. The field interface includes a power management system, a plurality of compartments, a user input device, and a display. The power management system stores energy, powers the field interface, or both. Each of the plurality of compartments receives a peripheral device. The display is operably coupled to the rigid lid of the case. The field interface is configured to be operably coupled to an end user device, which enables the end user device to be operated by way of the field interface with the user input device.

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.

Carrying cases used to transport and elevate laptop computers are disclosed. The carrying cases include a laptop tray elevating device including a laptop tray to support the laptop computer and a laptop tray elevating member. A hook member is coupled to the laptop tray to prevent the laptop computer from sliding off the laptop tray when elevated. The laptop tray elevating member includes a plurality of folding panels, a webbing, and a webbing gripping member. The webbing is pulled to displace one or more of the folding panels against the laptop tray and to orient one or more of the folding panels vertically to elevate the laptop tray at an angle. The webbing gripping member can selectively grip and release the webbing.

A hybrid frame sleeve case for a portable electronic device is disclosed herein. The portable electronic device may be a laptop computer, a tablet, or another portable electronic device. The case may include flexible panels, such as neoprene or fabric panels, attached to an elastic polymer frame, such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). The elastic polymer frame extends around a perimeter of the sleeve to provide cushioning or padding for the side edges of the sleeve. A magnetic latch or other latch may be used to secure an opening on one side of the sleeve. The case may optionally include a charging system that allows the portable electronic device to be charged while housed in the case or otherwise positioned to allow charging by the charging system.

A hybrid pillow includes a cushion material defining a recess. A coil panel is positioned within the recess of the cushion material with the coil panel formed of a plurality of coil springs, an upper fabric layer, and a lower fabric layer. The upper fabric layer and the lower fabric layer are joined between the plurality of coil springs and along peripheral edges of the first coil panel. A gel layer is also positioned within the recess of the cushion material and over the coil panel. A method of manufacturing the pillow includes dispensing a liquid gel in a mold, positioning a coil panel in the mold and on top of the liquid gel, dispensing a foam precursor in the mold, and foaming the foam precursor to form a cushion material that is secured to the coil panel.
