Supplementary elements for a handheld device and methods of manufacturing thereof

A supplementary element for a handheld device, comprising:

• a board having a thickness of less than 0.6 centimeter and a first width and height which are shorter than a second width and height of a handheld device having a back side, a front side, and a lateral side having an opening of a lateral female connector;
• and
• a lateral mount that is mechanically connected to said board having an aperture that is sized and shaped to receive a cord;
• wherein said supplementary element is sized and shaped to fit between said back side and a handheld device cover while said handheld device cover is tightly coupled to said lateral side and so that said lateral mount is located to cover said opening.

A method of manufacturing a supplementary element for a handheld device, comprising:

• fabricating a board having at least one electronic component which are permanently assembled thereto, said board having a thickness of less than 0.6 centimeter and a first width and height which are shorter than a second width and height of a handheld device having a back side, a front side, and a lateral side having an opening of a lateral female connector;
• electronically connecting a connector element having a male connector configured to be connected to said lateral female connector to said at least one electronic component;
• and
• mechanically connecting a lateral mount to said board so that said lateral mount fixates a tip of said male connector to face said lateral female connector when said board is placed over and in parallel to said back side;
• wherein said supplementary element is sized and shaped to fit between said back side and a handheld device cover while said handheld device cover is tightly coupled to said lateral side.
