A mountable case system for a handheld electronic device, comprising:
- a case configured to be selectively connectable to the handheld electronic device and retain the electronic device within an interior space of the case, the case comprising a rear portion that is positioned along a rear surface of the electronic device and a side portion extending from the rear portion and being positioned adjacent at least a portion of a top, bottom, left and right sides of the electronic device;
- wherein the rear portion of the case comprises an attachment region designed to receive a flexible non-slip member, the attachment region comprising an open space and a recessed surface formed by the disposition of a smaller opening within a larger opening;
- wherein the flexible non-slip member comprises a non-slip material shaped to fit within the open space, the flexible non-slip member having a peripheral groove that engages the recessed surface to removably couple the flexible non-slip member to the case, wherein the flexible non-slip member further comprises an indentation within an interior surface that, in use, faces the electronic device;
- and
- a magnet received within the indentation of the flexible non-slip member.
