Abstract: A finger grip adherable to a portable electronic device and configured to provide a deployable tool to assist a user in holding portable electronic device. The finger grip includes a base portion, a cap portion, and a flexure bearing. The cap portion is moveable between a captured position where the cap portion contacts the base portion and a relaxed position where the cap portion is separated from the base portion by a gap. The flexure bearing is coupled to the base portion and to the cap portion, and the flexure bearing provides at least one compliant degree of freedom to allow the cap portion to move between captured position and the relaxed position.
Abstract: Finger grip and connector for portable electronics, in particular cell phones. The grip includes a metallic ring. The ring adheres to the back of a cell phone, or case. The grip includes a corresponding ring of magnets for a grip assembly to magnetically attach to the metal ring adhered to the cell phone. The grip design provides infinite rotation of the grip assembly relative to the phone for holding the phone in various positions. The grip provides a support for viewing content on the electronic device at different angles and orientations. The grip provides a means of magnetically attaching a cell phone to metallic surfaces, chargers, mounts, and other devices. The grip can allow for wireless charging, which is optimized and enabled by a relatively large open inner diameter of the metallic ring and corresponding magnets. The grip can retract to be less than 3 millimeters in total thickness.
