  • Patent number: 12580602
    Abstract: This application relates to accessory support devices for supporting portable electronic devices in relation to other electronic computing devices. A multi-part clip includes a housing having a first housing part having a first surface, a second housing part coupled to the first housing part and having a second surface, and an internal volume. The multi-part clip has a circular, ring-shaped magnetic element disposed within the internal volume and forms, through the second surface, a magnetic attachment to a magnetic element of a portable electronic device. The multi-part clip includes a hook-like appendage pivotably coupled to the first surface and has a recess such that, in an actuated configuration, the hook-like appendage extends away from the first surface and the recess is configured to receive a portion of an electronic computing device. The multi-part clip is balanced atop the electronic computing device according to a gravitational force imparted therein.

  • Publication number: 20260027768
    Abstract: An overlay applicator tray including a cradle including a device slot configured to hold an electronic device. The overlay applicator tray also can include an overlay applicator. The overlay applicator can include an overlay layer and an adhesive release liner. The overlay layer can include an adhesive side configured to be adhered to a screen of the electronic device. The adhesive release liner can be removably attached to the adhesive side of the overlay layer. The overlay applicator tray additionally can include an alignment piece coupling the cradle to the overlay applicator. The alignment piece can be configured to align the overlay layer of the overlay applicator with the screen as the overlay layer is applied to the screen when the electronic device is held in the device slot. The overlay applicator can be pre-aligned and attached during manufacturing with the device slot of the cradle using the alignment piece.
