Abstract: An expandable device includes a platform having top and bottom sides, a body having a first end and a second end, the second end being operably coupled to the platform, a button operably coupled to the first end of the body, and a storage receptacle defined by at least one of the button, the platform, and the body. The body is movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration.

Abstract: A protective case for a mobile electronic device includes a case body and a protection element. The case body is sized to receive a mobile electronic device. The protection element can be coupled to the case body and include a chamber filled with air.

Abstract: Portable computing devices, software operating on such devices, and methods are described herein that utilize rotational data of the device to alter or distort media, such as images, gifs, and/or video, operating on the device. More specifically, when operating the software, an accelerometer within the device can determine when a user rotates or spins the device and thereafter a processing device can alter the media. Rotational characteristics, such as spin direction, spin speed, spin rate of change, and the like, can further factor into the modifications to the media.

Abstract: Portable computing devices, software operating on such devices, and methods are described that utilize rotational data of the device to manipulate media, such as audio, images, and/or video, operating on the device. More specifically, an accelerometer within the device can determine when a user rotates the device and a processing device can thereafter determine one or more manipulation operations to perform on the media based on the rotation. Additional rotational characteristics, such as spin direction, spin speed, spin rate of change, and the like, can further factor into the selection of the one or more manipulation operations.

Abstract: A bumper (1) for a mobile device that includes a first layer (18) formed from an elastomeric first material and a second layer (2) formed from a second material different from the elastomeric first material. The first layer (18) is arranged on an outside of the bumper and the second layer (2) is arranged on an inside of the bumper so that the second layer (2) is between the mobile device and the first layer (18) when the mobile device is arranged in the bumper (1). The bumper (1) completely covers the mobile device, except for at least a portion of the front, at least a portion of the rear, and at least one speaker of the mobile device if present, when the mobile device is arranged in the bumper (1).
