  • Patent number: 10441044
    Abstract: A case for a mobile device, including first, second, third, and fourth sides, each with inside and outside surfaces opposite to each other. The inside surfaces of the first and second sides face each other. The inside surface of the third and fourth sides faces each other. The first and second sides are arranged between the third and fourth sides, and the third and fourth sides are arranged between the first and second sides, so that the four sides form at least part of a frame configured to surround a periphery of the mobile device. At least one of the inside surfaces of the first, second, third, and fourth sides includes triangular protrusions that have a triangular cross section and extend toward the inside of the case, so that an apex of each of the triangular protrusions contacts the mobile device when it is arranged inside the case.

  • Publication number: 20190269231
    Abstract: A case for a mobile device, including a first RF-transparent layer forming a pocket or recess for a mobile device, and a clip portion extending from a first wall of the pocket or recess. The clip portion extends away from a first wall of the pocket or recess, with the clip portion and the first wall forming a ring. The clip portion includes an external clip portion, an internal clip portion arranged inside the external clip portion, and a hinged gate. The internal clip portion is separate and distinct from the eternal clip portion. The hinged gate is rotatable around a hinge portion between a closed position in which the ring is closed, and an open position in which the ring is open. The first RF-transparent layer and the external and internal clip portions are formed from materials such that radio frequency (“RF”) transmissions can be transmitted through them.
