Abstract
A mobile device connection apparatus, method and system is disclosed which allows a user to physically connect or tether, without the use of adhesive, a mobile device with a case to a user, surface, or structure. The mobile device connection apparatus comprises multiple layers of materials to create a connection point for mobile devices, such as mobile phones, which is compatible with devices with a case, reusable, and robust and prevents mobile devices from being damaged, lost, and stolen. Further the mobile device connection apparatus allows a user to interact with their phone in new ways.

A mobile device connection apparatus, comprising:
- a plate-like piece of material, the plate-like piece of material having electrostatic cling properties, the plate-like piece of material folded onto itself;
- a connector, the connector sandwiched between the plate-like piece of material;
- wherein the plate-like piece of material is shaped to fit on a back of an electronic device, such that the plate-like piece of material is sandwiched between the back of the electronic device and a case, the plate-like piece shaped and having the electrostatic cling properties, to resist lateral movement in relation to the electronic device while being held to the back of the electronic device from moving in an orthogonal direction in relation to the electronic device.
The mobile device connection apparatus of claim 9, further comprising an adhesive holding the plate-like piece of material in a folded position.
A mobile device connection apparatus for holding a mobile device, comprising:
- a flat body piece;
- a connector attached to the flat body piece;
- a case, the case sandwiching the flat body piece between the case and a back of the mobile device.
A method of securing a mobile device, comprising:
- providing a mobile device connection apparatus for holding a mobile device including:
- a flat body piece;
- a connector attached to the flat body piece;
- a case, the case sandwiching the flat body piece between the case and a back of the mobile device;
- placing the flat body piece on the back of the mobile device;
- placing the case over the flat body piece and the mobile device;
- connecting the connector to a secure tether point.
