Abstract
Device cases with selectable RF shielding are described. Some implementations can include a case for an electronic device. The case can include selectable radio frequency (RF) shielding, such as a Faraday cage. The shielding can be selectable via a mechanically activated switch (e.g., slidable or rotatable), or an electrically activated switch.
Claims11
A case comprising,
- a housing,
- a shielding enclosure disposed within the housing;
- and
- a slidable member;
- wherein the slidable member is configured to be moved, relative to the shielding enclosure, between a first position and a second position, when in the first position, the slidable member covering one or more windows in the shielding enclosure so as to substantially block radio frequency energy from passing through the one or more windows, and when in the second position the slidable member aligning one or more openings in the slidable member with the corresponding one or more openings in the shielding enclosure to permit radio frequency energy to pass through the one or more aligned openings;
- and
- wherein the slidable member and the shielding enclosure include RF shielding material except for the opening, which does not include RF shielding material.
4 more elements
A case comprising:
- a first portion;
- and
- a second portion,
- wherein at least one of the first portion and the second portion includes a fixed portion and a moveable portion, the moveable portion configured to be moved, relative to the fixed portion, between a first position and a second position, when in the first position, the moveable portion covering one or more openings in the fixed portion so as to substantially block radio frequency energy from passing through the one or more openings, and when in the second position the moveable portion aligning one or more openings in the moveable portion with the corresponding one or more openings in the fixed portion to permit radio frequency energy to pass through the one or more aligned openings, and
- wherein the first portion and the second portion include RF shielding material except for the opening, which does not include RF shielding material.
