  • Patent number: 9961175
    Abstract: At least one speaker is provided on a tab which is held at least partially within a case. The case also holds a smart device. A slot in the case allows for the tab with at least one speaker to slide into and out of the case. The tab can slide out of the case and deployed, and the at least one speaker can emit sound from the smart device. A power source can also be provided within the tab to power the speakers. A sound signal to the speakers can be carried by a wired interconnection to the smartphone or by wireless transmission to the speaker on the tab. In one embodiment multiple smart devices with speakers according to this invention work together by transmitting a sound signal from one smart device to a speaker associated with another smart device, either directly or through the other smart device.

  • Patent number: 8944209
    Abstract: A sound amplifier is provided in the form of a sound amplification cone with a front panel opposite a rear panel and spaced apart by side panels. The side panels fold so that the front panel and rear panel can collapse together or be deployed apart. The sound amplification cone is hinged to a tab which is held at least partially within a case. The case also holds a smart device therein. A slot in the case allows for the tab and sound amplification cone to slide into and out of the case when the cone is collapsed. When the sound amplification cone is slid out of the case and deployed, a port of the sound amplification cone is located adjacent speakers of the smart device to amplify sound therefrom. Auxiliary speakers and a power source can also be provided within the tab or sound amplification cone for further sound amplification.
