Abstract: Cases for enclosing a personal electronic device may also enclose one or more cards, such as credit cards, payment cards, coupons, receipts, identification cards, merchandise credit cards, gift cards, or business cards through the use of a retaining system. Exemplary cases may include a personal device portion and a card portion that may be co-molded into a one-piece device for holding the personal electronic device and the inserted cards.

Abstract: A one-piece case for enclosing a computing device such as a tablet computer is molded from a single material into a single piece. The case comprises a base portion to hold the computing device and a cover portion to cover the front or screen of the computing device. By varying the thickness of the material used in different areas of the one-piece case, the two portions of the case may be hinged together. Similarly, because of the areas of differing thicknesses, the cover portion of the one-piece case can be folded into various configurations, thereby creating a stand for the computing device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a case for a personal electronic device comprising one or more layers formed from a thin-film thermo-formed material and methods to manufacture the same. In a disclosed embodiment, the case for the personal electronic device comprises a flexible inner layer and a thin-film thermo-formed outer-layer.

Abstract: Cases for enclosing a personal electronic device may also enclose one or more cards, such as credit cards, payment cards, coupons, receipts, identification cards, merchandise credit cards, gift cards, or business cards through the use of a retaining system. Exemplary cases may include a flexible inner layer and an exterior hard layer that may be permanently affixed to one another to form two fitted cavities, one for holding the personal electronic device and one for holding inserted cards.

Abstract: A case for an electronic device with a retractable stand may support the case for an inserted electronic device when disposed in a horizontal and/or vertical position. The case may be transitioned from the horizontal and/or vertical disposition and vise-versa without changing the relative positions of the case and the stand to one another.

Abstract: An exterior cover for attachment to the exterior surface of a hinged computing device's base may modify the size, position, and/or footprint of one or more extensions, or feet, projecting from the bottom of the base. The modification may serve to increase the stability of the hinged computing device when the hinged computing device is in an open position (i.e., when the display element is separated from the base).

Abstract: A one-piece co-formed exterior hard shell case with an elastomeric liner formed on the interior of the exterior hard shell for mobile electronic devices. This hard protective exterior shell allows the device maximum protection from impacts with sharp objects while the interior elastomeric portion that provides shock protection for the device from impacts. The exterior hard shell part is formed to fit the device closely with a small offset from the devices surface. The exterior hard shell raps around the edges of the device. To allow the shell to be able to be mounted on the device the comers of the hard shell are cut open. This allows each sidewall to flex away when a device is inserted and snap back once it is in place. The elastomeric material fills in the gaps created at the comers of the exterior hard shell to allow flex for mounting.

Abstract: A case for enclosing and remaining attached to a tablet-computing device may include a rigid inner portion and an outer portion attached thereto. The case may be customized to accommodate a particular kind or type of tablet-computing device and may include an aperture aligned within the case to accommodate a feature of the inserted tablet-computing device. The case may be configured to elevate a tablet-computing device to an angled position relative to a planar position and/or maintain the tablet-computing device in the angled position. In some embodiments, the rigid inner portion may be removable from the case.

Abstract: Cases for enclosing and remaining attached to a mobile communications device may include a semi-rigid shell and a fabric covering attached thereto. The cases may include a semi-rigid shell with a recessed portion for accepting a fabric covering and the fabric covering.

Abstract: In one example, we describe a method and device for solving the problem associated with the cover affecting the flash/light from a cell phone camera (for example), causing and adding erroneous colors, effects, and information on the resulting pictures, images, sensors, or videos. We are using/adding one or more lenses in the assembly. With these examples described here, we are solving this problem and dramatically reducing this effect. Other variations are also discussed here.

Abstract: In one example, we describe a new structure and shape for the packaging objects, for storage, display, and transportation. For example, it can be helpful for the consumers to test/examine/try-before-buy the object(s). It has an opening/closing mechanism, for the object to be secure inside that packaging, without destroying the merchandise or packaging (by the consumer at the store), so that it can be redisplayed on the shelf (at the store), again. Many examples and variations are given here.

Abstract: Screen protectors for electronic devices have been available for some time. Some small touch screen devices have dedicated soft keys on a certain portion of the screen. Soft keys are representations of physical buttons on the screen. Since the devices are generally very small, it is often difficult for the user to avoid accidently hitting one of these soft keys. One application of the invention shows a small ridge that protrudes vertically out of the screen protector, so that the user can feel that under his/her finger/touch, to locate the sections on the screen, e.g. the keyboards or menus and their components. Other variations and examples are also given here.

Abstract: This is a process of hydropainting a case, box, container, shell, protector, or holder for an electronic device or communication device. In one example, we describe a method which offers the advantage of eliminating the need to mask the device, and therefore, it reduces the cost of using this printing method to add graphics to the case. One example is based on an over-molded or dual-shot case. The case has a hard external shell manufactured by injection molding. This external shell is then over-molded in key areas with a soft rubber material, to provide a case that cushions the electronics with the rubber, but also provides the hard case protection of the external shell. It also provides excellent printing quality, at a lower cost and production time.

To allow the shell to be able to be mounted on the device the corners of the hard shell are cut open. This allows each sidewall to flex away when a device is inserted and snap back once it is in place. The elastomeric material fills in the gaps created at the corners of the exterior hard shell to allow flex for mounting.

Abstract: An inflatable carrying case for sensitive electronic device and other delicate devices are described herewith. The inflatable carrying case is made by stitching an outer sleeve to an inner sleeve with a layer of open cell foam glued in between. Two rigid top and bottom surfaces or plates (as 2 examples) are attached to the outer sleeve. An inflating mechanism comprising of an air valve assembly is positioned where the latch hooks over it to secure the carrying case. The inflating mechanism is used to inflate the carrying case and thus increase fortification against movement, sudden jolts and direct impact to the enclosed sensitive electronic device. The inflating mechanism is easily accessible and simply operated. Detachable pockets to carry accessories and shoulder strap are included in this invention. Many embodiments, examples, and variations are given.
