Abstract: A mobile device connection apparatus, method and system is disclosed which allows a user to physically connect or tether, without the use of adhesive, a mobile device with a case to a user, surface, or structure. The mobile device connection apparatus comprises multiple layers of materials to create a connection point for mobile devices, such as mobile phones, which is compatible with devices with a case, reusable, and robust and prevents mobile devices from being damaged, lost, and stolen. Further the mobile device connection apparatus allows a user to interact with their phone in new ways.

Abstract: A slider garage includes an overmolded body, the overmolded body oriented on a zipper, the overmolded body including an overmolded male portion and an overmolded female portion, the overmolded male and female portions positioned on an end of the zipper, such that each is on one side of the zipper, the overmolded male portion being shaped such that it fits in the overmolded female portion in a watertight fashion and the overmolded body is molded over a portion of the zipper.

Abstract: A system for mounting an electronic device includes a socket and a stand, the stand having a ball portion. The socket and the ball portion include first magnetic material to hold the socket and the ball portion together in a position selected by a user, the socket further including a magnetic array, the magnetic array having magnetism to hold an electronic device to the socket. In one alternative, the first magnetic material is separate from the magnetic array.

Abstract: A method for selecting a mode/color on a lighting module, the lighting module having only a single button includes: receiving a first actuation of the single button at the lighting module. The method further includes responsive to the first actuation, turning the device on and displaying a first mode/color. The method further includes detecting that the single button is held down. The method further includes displaying a plurality of modes/colors in a timed sequence, such that each mode/color of the plurality of modes/colors is displayed for a preset time period. The method further includes detecting that the single button is released. The method further includes displaying a selected mode/color of the plurality of modes/colors that was displayed when the single button was released.

Abstract: A lighting module includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) with a push button switch and a charging port, a second PCB with a light emitting diode (LED), a rechargeable battery sandwiched between the PCB's, and ring disposed between the PCB's and surrounding the battery. A device including the lighting module, a body having a cavity with an aperture, and a cap having a protrusion facing the body. The lighting module received in the cavity, with the cap covering the aperture. The protrusion and push button switch are positioned such that when the cap is pushed inward near the protrusion, the protrusion pushes the push button switch and activates the lighting module. The cap further includes a ridge surrounding the protrusion on the outward side, the ridge preventing the protrusion from being pushed into the push button switch, unless the cap is pressed at approximately a location of the protrusion.
