Ring attachment for mobile device

A mobile device assembly comprising:

• a mobile device having a first bottom edge and a first top edge;
• a mobile device case having a second bottom edge and a second top edge, wherein the second bottom edge of the mobile device case aligns with the mobile device first bottom edge when the mobile device is encased in the mobile device case, and wherein the second bottom edge of the mobile device case includes an aperture;
• and
• a ring attachment comprising:
• a substantially circular ring adhesivelessly connected to an anchor via a ring anchor connector, the ring anchor connector having a first end attached to a first portion of a bottom edge of the anchor and a second end attached to a second different portion of the bottom edge of the anchor, the first and second portions being spaced apart a predetermined distance along the bottom edge, the ring anchor connector and the bottom edge of the anchor forming a loop through which the ring extends, wherein the anchor is sandwiched between the mobile device and the mobile device case, and wherein the connector traverses the aperture of the second bottom edge of the mobile device case, and wherein the anchor has a height, width and thickness, wherein:
• the height and the width are sized to fit within an inner cavity of the mobile device case, and
• the thickness is sized to fit between the inner cavity of the mobile device case and a back surface of the mobile device when the mobile device is secured within the inner cavity;
• the substantially circular ring is oriented substantially orthogonal to a plane of the anchor defined by the anchor's height and width, when the anchor is vertically oriented and the ring is freely hanging from the loop;
• wherein the plane of the anchor bisects the ring when the anchor is vertically oriented and the ring is freely hanging from the loop,
• the substantially circular ring has an inside diameter sized large enough to receive a finger of a user therethrough;
• and
• the substantially circular ring has a closed circular shape with no end and no beginning;
• wherein the substantially circular ring is comprised of a resilient material such that inner surfaces of the ring may be compressed together when squeezed and the ring may return to an original shape when released;
• wherein when inner surfaces of the ring are compressed together, a distance between opposing outer surfaces of the ring is within a range of approximately 1 mm to approximately 10 mm;
• wherein the entire ring is configured to fit through an aperture in the mobile device case when the ring is compressed;
• and
• wherein an outside diameter of the ring is larger than a length of the aperture when the ring is released.

A method of attaching a ring attachment to a mobile device, the method comprising:

• providing a mobile device;
• providing a mobile device case, the mobile device case having sidewalls defining an inner cavity sized to receive the mobile device therein;
• providing a ring attachment, the ring attachment comprising anchor, a ring anchor connector and a ring, wherein:
• the anchor has a height, width and thickness, wherein the height and the width are sized to fit within the inner cavity, and the thickness is sized to fit between the inner cavity of the mobile device case and a back surface of the mobile device when the mobile device is secured within the inner cavity,
• the ring anchor connector has a first end attached to a first portion of a bottom edge of the anchor and a second end attached to a second different portion of the bottom edge of the anchor, the first and second portions being spaced apart a predetermined distance along the bottom edge, the ring anchor connector and bottom edge of the anchor forming a loop,
• the ring is adhesivelessly secured to the anchor via extending through the loop, wherein the ring has an inside diameter sized large enough to receive a finger of a user therethrough, the ring has a closed circular shape with no end or beginning and is comprised of a resilient material;
• wherein the ring is oriented substantially orthogonally to a plane of the anchor defined by the anchor's height and width when the anchor is vertically oriented and the ring is freely hanging from the loop, and
• wherein the plane of the anchor bisects the ring when the anchor is vertically oriented and the ring is freely hanging from the loop;
• positioning the anchor within the inner cavity of the mobile device case;
• compressing the ring such that inner surfaces of the ring are compressed together;
• feeding the entire compressed ring through an aperture in a bottom edge of the mobile device case;
• releasing the ring, such that the ring returns to its original shape once the ring has been fed entirely through the aperture, wherein, when the ring returns to its original shape, the outside diameter of the ring is larger than a length of the aperture when the ring is released;
• and
• positioning the mobile device within the inner cavity of the mobile device case such that the anchor is positioned between the mobile device case and the mobile device.
