Modular Components and Methods for an Electronic Device

A kit of parts for an electronic device, comprising:

• a case for an electronic device, the case has a first receiver plate attachable to a peripheral device;
• a clip stand having a second receiver plat attachable to a peripheral device, the clip stand including a spring loaded clip that moves from a locked configuration to an open configuration;
• the clip stand has a stand arm that rotatably mounts on the clip stand to selectively maintain the clip stand in the open configuration to enable the clip stand to orient the peripheral device in an upright position;
• a peripheral device attachable to the receiver plate and being capable of electronic communication with the electronic device;
• the receiver plate being rigid and defining recesses that are configured to hold a peripheral device;
• the peripheral device including feet that align with the recesses to enable the peripheral device to attach to the receiver plate of the case;
• wherein the peripheral device is selected from the group consisting of, a retractable ear-bud mechanism, a speaker, a solar battery charger, a video projector, a flexible video display screen.

A method for using kit of parts for an electronic device, comprising:

• providing a case for an electronic device, the case has a receiver plate attachable to a peripheral device;
• encasing the electronic device with the case to protect the electronic device and to enable the electronic device to physically connect to a peripheral device;
• attaching a peripheral device to the receiver plate to stow the peripheral device in proximity with the electronic device, and thereby assure that the peripheral device is readily available for use;
• detaching the peripheral device from the receiver plate to enable optimal placement of the peripheral device in proximity to the electronic device;
• and
• establishing electronic communication between the electronic device and the peripheral device;
• wherein the peripheral device is selected from the group consisting of, a retractable ear-bud mechanism, a speaker, a solar battery charger, a video projector, a flexible video display screen.
