Mobile Computing Hand-Held Accessory

Abstract

A mobile computing accessory is disclosed. The mobile computing accessory comprises a housing having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a mounting mechanism extending from a first surface of the first portion and configured to receive a detachable computing device, and a tab extending from a second surface of the first portion to facilitate grasping the mobile computing accessory. The second surface opposes the first surface. The second portion has a radio frequency identification (RFID) antenna positioned within an interior thereof. The second portion extends at an acute angle from a proximal end of the first portion such that the housing is U-shaped. The acute angle by which the second portion extends from the proximal end of the first portion provides for viewing a scene via a display of the computing device mounted in the mounting mechanism while reading RFID tags present in the scene.
