Abstract: A protective case for portable electronic devices, having a case assembly with a frame assembly. The frame assembly has first and second longitudinal frame members and first and second transversal frame members. The case assembly further has a rear wall joining the first and second longitudinal frame members and the first and second transversal frame members at a substantially perpendicular disposition. The rear wall has at least two apertures, wherein the at least two apertures have cooperative shapes and dimensions to removably receive heads of inserts, and the at least two apertures.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a drying device comprising a base with a pair of arms adjustably attached to each side of the base. The arms are angled inward relative to the base, allowing them to adapt to a wide variety of footwear. The underside of each base includes one or more magnets that removably attach the device to a conventional dryer. Each base includes one or more apertures that promote air flow when the device is in use. In use, the footwear remains compressed on the walls of the drying device via the magnets. After the drying cycle has been completed, the footwear is dried on the exterior and interior surface.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a drying device comprising a base with arms adjustably attached to each end. The arms each include an internal spring that allows the arms to adapt to a wide variety of dryers of different shapes, sizes, and models. The distal end of each arm also includes an attachment that is sized and shaped to fit into the interior of an item of footwear. Each attachment includes a plurality of apertures that promote air flow into the interior of the footwear when in use. In this way, the footwear remains compressed on the walls of the drying device. After the drying cycle has been completed, the footwear is dried on the exterior and interior surface.
