Abstract: Protective case with a removable clip for selectively securing a handheld electronic device to a belt or strap. The protective case is a form-rigid shell onto which the clip is easily and quickly assembled or removed by snapping a clip retainer into place or removing the clip retainer. The case, with the clip removed, provides no surfaces that catch inadvertently on or scratch other objects.

Abstract: A case that securely holds a handheld device and allows for charging the device while it is held in the case. The case includes a two-fold panel that folds on itself to form a cavity for receiving the handheld device. A device bracket for holding the handheld device is attached to a strap that is movably affixed to the inside of the case and holds the handheld device without covering the display and keypad areas. The portions of the case that cover the front and back surfaces of the handheld device fold back, away from the device bracket, thereby freeing up the end of the handheld device with the charging connector so that it may be inserted into a charging station.

Abstract: Cord retainer for retaining a headset cord for use with a small electronic device. The cord retainer allows the user to limit to a desired length the length of cord that is exposed when using the handheld device. The retainer is made of stiffly flexible material and is small and comfortable to hold in the hand. A split around the circumference of the retainer allows a portion of the retainer to be snapped open, providing access to a core body, around which the headset cords are wound. Cord pass-throughs are provided in the retainer, through which cords for earbuds and audio plug are pulled. The retainer is also suitable for use with a combination headset/control panel component. The control panel body is integrated into the retainer body such that the control panel body serves as the core body, with control buttons accessible on the outside of the cord retainer.
