Coupling systems and methods for electronic devices

A first electronic device for operably receiving and coupling a second electronic device to the first electronic device, the first electronic device comprising:

• a housing including a first engagement surface and a second surface opposite the first engagement surface, the first engagement surface adapted to operably receive the second electronic device, wherein the first engagement surface comprises an aperture perimeter surrounding an aperture that extends through the housing from the first engagement surface to the second surface;
• a first magnet array that is movably coupled to the housing;
• and
• a motion transfer mechanism coupled to the housing and the first magnet array to move the first magnet array relative to the housing to perform at least one of operably coupling or de-coupling the received second electronic device to or from the first electronic device.
