Abstract
A mobile device connection apparatus, method and system is disclosed which allows a user to physically connect or tether, without the use of adhesive, a mobile device with a case to a user, surface, or structure. The mobile device connection apparatus comprises multiple layers of materials to create a connection point for mobile devices, such as mobile phones, which is compatible with devices with a case, reusable, and robust and prevents mobile devices from being damaged, lost, and stolen. Further the mobile device connection apparatus allows a user to interact with their phone in new ways.
Claims20
A mobile device connection apparatus comprising:
- a body piece folded on itself to form a first layer of material and a second layer of material, the body piece comprising a base having a length and a width;
- a strengthening material comprising opposing ends and folded to define a loop between the opposing ends, the opposing ends sandwiched between the first layer of material and the second layer of material to extend the loop away from the body piece, such that the loop is defined only by the strengthening material, the loop extending from the body piece parallel to the length of the base and having a width less than the width of the base, the body piece positionable at least partially between a mobile electronic device and a case for the mobile electronic device with the loop extending through an aperture of the case for a charging port of the mobile electronic device, wherein the width of the base is greater than a diameter of the aperture to limit removal of the body piece through the aperture of the case;
- and
- a third layer of material disposed or formed on the base, the third layer of material comprising an electrostatic cling property to removably adhere the base to the mobile electronic device and/or the case for the mobile electronic device.
A mobile device connection apparatus comprising:
- a body piece folded on itself to form two layers of material, the body piece comprising a base having a length and a width;
- a strengthening material comprising opposing ends and folded to define a loop between the opposing ends, the opposing ends sandwiched between the two layers of material to extend the loop away from the body piece, such that the loop is defined only by the strengthening material, the loop extending from the body piece parallel to the length of the base and having a width less than the width of the base;
- and
- a third layer of material comprising an adhesion property to frictionally hold the mobile device connection apparatus relative to a mobile electronic device and/or a case for the mobile electronic device without use of adhesive,
- wherein the body piece is positionable at least partially between the mobile electronic device and the case for the mobile electronic device, with the loop extending through an aperture of the case for a charging port of the mobile electronic device, and
- wherein the width of the base is greater than a diameter of the aperture to limit removal of the body piece through the aperture of the case.
