Abstract
A device may include a first rigid panel having a contact surface and a cosmetic surface. A device may include a frictious material positioned on the contact surface of the first rigid panel. A device may include a second rigid panel having a contact surface and a cosmetic surface, the second rigid panel movably connected to the first rigid panel by a hinged connector. A device may include a selective connector, including: a first connection interface coupled to the first rigid panel, and a second connection interface coupled to the second rigid panel.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a first rigid panel having a contact surface and an opposing cosmetic surface that includes a cosmetic line pattern;
- a second rigid panel having a contact surface and an opposing cosmetic surface, the second rigid panel movably connected to the first rigid panel by a hinged connector;
- a frictious material positioned on the contact surface of the first rigid panel and having a line pattern corresponding to the cosmetic line pattern;
- and
- a selective connector, including:
- a first connection interface coupled to the first rigid panel, and
- a second connection interface coupled to the second rigid panel.
A device comprising:
- a first rigid planar panel having a contact surface and a cosmetic surface that includes a cosmetic line pattern;
- a second rigid panel having another contact surface and another cosmetic surface, the second rigid panel movably connected to the first rigid planar panel by a hinged connector longitudinally between the first rigid planar panel and the second rigid panel;
- a raised frictious material positioned on less than an entirety of the contact surface of the first rigid planar panel and having a line pattern corresponding to the cosmetic line pattern;
- a spacer protruding from at least one of the first rigid planar panel and the second rigid panel in a lateral direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction, and
- a selective connector including:
- a first connection interface coupled to the first rigid planar panel, and
- a second connection interface coupled to the second rigid panel.
A system comprising:
- an electronic device having a first side that includes a non-planar feature normal to the first side;
- and
- a wrap including:
- a first rigid panel having a contact surface and a cosmetic surface that includes a cosmetic line pattern, the first rigid panel comprising an alignment feature protruding from the contact surface to interact with the non-planar feature of the first side of the electronic device,
- a second rigid panel having a contact surface and a cosmetic surface, the second rigid panel movably connected to the first rigid panel by a hinged connector,
- a raised frictious material positioned on less than an entirety of the contact surface of the first rigid panel having a line pattern corresponding to the cosmetic line pattern and configured to allow airflow between a remainder of the first rigid panel and the electronic device, and
- a selective connector including:
- a first connection interface coupled to the first rigid panel, and
- a second connection interface coupled to the second rigid panel.
