  • Publication number: 20150083615
    Abstract: An electronic device, such as a tablet computer, smartphone, or television, can be mounted to a surface using a magnetic mounting apparatus. In one example, the apparatus can include a protective case that is adapted to receive an electronic device. The protective case can be configured to protect the electronic device from drop-induced damage. The protective case can include a female mounting portion disposed in the protective case. The female mounting portion of the protective case can be configured to magnetically mount to a male mounting portion associated with a folding cover, surface mount, or dock. Once magnetically mounted to the folding cover, surface mount, or dock, the protective case can rotate about the female mounting portion to allow the electronic device to be transitioned from a landscape mode to a portrait mode and vice versa.
