Abstract
A protective case and mounting system for a handheld electronic device is provided. The protective case can include a removable mounting system comprised of an interlocking member and a plurality of mounting bases. The protective case may further include a non-slip member to prevent the device from slipping on a surface and a magnet for attaching the device to a magnetic surface.
Claims20
A mounting system for a handheld electronic device, comprising:
- a locking member defining an attachment region designed to receive an interlocking member;
- the attachment region comprising a first open space, a first interlocking surface and a second interlocking surface, both of the first and second interlocking surfaces surrounding at least a portion of the first open space, wherein the first interlocking surface is located in a first plane and is circumferentially offset from at least a portion of the second interlocking surface having a portion that extends perpendicular to the first plane to provide an interlocking area;
- the interlocking member comprising an elongated portion that extends from the interlocking surfaces and a plate portion having at least one engagement member that, in use, is passed through the first open space and disposed within the interlocking area to achieve an interlocked position between the interlocking member and locking member.
A protection system for a handheld electronic device, comprising:
- a shell comprising a rear wall and a side wall extending from the rear wall;
- wherein the rear wall defines an attachment region designed to receive an interlocking member and at least one frictional region designed to receive at least one frictional member;
- wherein the attachment region comprises a first open space and a plurality of interlocking surface portions to provide an interlocking area;
- wherein the interlocking member comprises a plurality of engaging members, each of the engaging members being configured to interact with one of the plurality of interlocking surface portions;
- wherein the at least one frictional region comprises a second open space and a recessed surface formed by the disposition of a smaller opening within a larger opening;
- wherein the frictional region comprises at least one frictional material shaped to fit within the second open space, the frictional member having a peripheral groove that, in use, engages the recessed surface to connect the frictional member to the shell;
- and
- a magnet received within an indentation of the frictional member.
