Abstract: A device (1400) includes an electronic device (100) with one or more processors (501), one or more memory devices (508), a display (101), and a first electrical connector (206). An electronic accessory module (600) includes a second electrical connector (806). A housing (1100) receives the electronic accessory module at a first end of the housing and receives the electronic device at a second end of the housing. The housing biases the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector together and couples to both the electronic device and the electronic accessory module to secure the electronic device and the electronic accessory module within the housing.

Abstract: Described are mobile communication devices with retractable lanyard attachment posts that can be hidden when not in use. Also disclosed are embodiments of lanyard attachment posts that may include push-push or other mechanisms that a user may engage to deploy or hide the attachment post. In this way, by being able to hide the lanyard attachment member, the sleek lines of modern mobile communication devices may be maintained. Several embodiments include a push-push mechanism, for example, an E-clip embodiment, a C-clip embodiment, a stacked internal mechanism embodiment, and a compliant arm mechanism embodiment. Also disclosed is an embodiment of a retractable lanyard attachment post that may be respectively retained or released by turning the attachment post. In this manner, with either a push-push embodiment or a turnable embodiment, the mechanism for concealment and deployment of the lanyard attachment post may better utilize the device volume.
