Floor panels are shown, which are provided with a mechanical locking system on long and short edges allowing installation with vertical snap folding that could be accomplished automatically without tools and where the short edge locking system has a tongue made in one piece with the panel. The floor panels may have a first and a second connector at the long edges that are configured to obtain a minimum of friction facilitating a displacement, by a spring back force from the bending of a short edge locking strip, of a new panel in a horizontal direction along the long edge during the vertical snap folding action.

A smart phone protection case assembly for facilitating a user to view a smart phone while lying down includes a smart phone case for containing a smart phone such that a display of the smart phone is visible. A lid is hingedly coupled to the smart phone case and the lid is positionable in a closed position or an open position. A mirror is positioned in the lid such that the mirror reflects the display on the smart phone when the lid is in the open position. In this way the mirror facilitates a user to view the display in the mirror. A pocket is integrated into the lid to insertably receive a credit/debit card.

An electronic device includes a first housing, a hinge apparatus, a second housing, and a flexible display, where two opposite ends of the hinge apparatus are connected to the first housing and the second housing, and the flexible display is mounted on the first housing and the second housing, wherein a thickness of one end that is of the second housing and that is close to the hinge apparatus is different from a thickness of one end that is of the second housing and that is away from the hinge apparatus, and wherein, in a folded state, a thickness of one end that is of the electronic device and that is close to the hinge apparatus is different from a thickness of one end that is of the electronic device and that is away from the hinge apparatus.

A rugged, ergonomic integrated telecommunications handset includes an electronic controller that interoperates and controls the universal remote control (URC), which connects to multiple radios simultaneously. The controller downloads options which are implemented by the controller. The handset has an ability to vibrate in a silent mode, and has a memory capacity, as well as GPS capacity. Ergonomically, the handset has a pair of side arrays of protruding ribs, which enhance gripping, preventing the handset from falling out of the user's hands, even if the user has gloves on in inclement weather conditions in the field. While compatible with the latest radio system software defined dual net and dual channel radio equipment, the handset is also backward compatible with single radios or with two or more separate radios, and may communicate using Bluetooth.

A gripping accessory for a portable electronic device or for a case of a portable electronic device including a base body having an upper surface, a lower surface, and a side wall is provided. The side wall has a left housing and a right housing suitable for being grasped by a respective finger of a user's hand. A first magnetic element is joined to the base body near the lower surface and is suitable for generating a magnetic field to keep the lower surface stably coupled with the portable electronic device or case. A second magnetic element, different from the first magnetic element, is joined to the base body near the side wall or upper surface. The second magnetic element is suitable for generating a magnetic field suitable for coupling with an auxiliary accessory including magnetic or ferromagnetic material.

The present technique provides a terminal case capable of mounting an external device thereon without detaching a case. A terminal case according to the present technique includes: a housing portion for housing a terminal in a state in which a display included in the terminal can be exposed; a mounted portion to which a gripping device including a gripping portion to be gripped by a user is mounted; and a communication portion for communicating between the terminal and the gripping device.

A stretchable net cover for a mobile electronic device that provides multiple grasp points and configurations, providing a user with a plurality of ways to hold and use their devices. A user may slide one or more fingers through openings in the netting material to grasp the device, may slide the netting over a forearm, or may hook the device to a purse, belt loop, carabiner, lanyard, retractable or static leash via the netting material. The cover may be provided as an add-on, i.e., designed for use over a mobile electronic device alone or a device enclosed within a case, or may be provided as part of a case for a mobile electronic device.

Injury to the digits, hand and wrist are associated with the frequent usage of portable hand-held electronic devices (“PEDs”), including but not limited to smartphones. This is true as well for injury to the neck and shoulder areas. The potential for injury to the digits, hand and wrist in particular is anticipated to be exacerbated by the larger smartphones, and especially the tablet-like smartphones. The ergonomic accessory of the invention has several embodiments whose design is intended to ameliorate if not prevent such injuries. Certain embodiments are partially or fully case-like in form so that they envelope to a greater or lesser degree, such hand-held electronic devices. Another embodiment attaches to a PED through an element of the PED such as the charging socket. The accessory also removably attaches the hand of the user or provides a secure holding surface for the user.
