Case and mount system for handheld electronic device
A protective case 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.
1. A mountable case system for a handheld electronic device, comprising:
a case configured to be selectively connectable to the handheld electronic device and retain the electronic device within an interior space of the case, the case comprising a rear portion that is positioned along a rear surface of the electronic device and a side portion extending from the rear portion and being positioned adjacent at least a portion of a top, bottom, left and right sides of the electronic device;
wherein the rear portion of the case comprises an attachment region designed to receive a flexible non-slip member, the attachment region comprising an open space and a recessed surface formed by the disposition of a smaller opening within a larger opening;
wherein the flexible non-slip member comprises a non-slip material shaped to fit within the open space, the flexible non-slip member having a peripheral groove that engages the recessed surface to removably couple the flexible non-slip member to the case, wherein the flexible non-slip member further comprises an indentation within an interior surface that, in use, faces the electronic device; and
a magnet received within the indentation of the flexible non-slip member.
2. The case system of claim 1 , further comprising a cover piece adjacent an inner surface of the magnet that, in use, is located between the magnet and the electronic device.
3. The case system of claim 2 , wherein the cover piece is made of the same material as the flexible non-slip member.
4. The case system of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is a rare-earth magnet.
5. The case system of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the flexible non-slip member is disposed outwardly of an outer surface of the rear portion of the case.
6. The case system of claim 1 , wherein the flexible non-slip member comprises a frictional gripping exterior surface that enhances frictional engagement of the system with a surface on which the system is placed.
7. The case system of claim 6 , wherein the frictional gripping exterior surface of the flexible non-slip member comprises roughened surface features.
8. A mountable case system for a handheld electronic device, comprising:
a case configured to be selectively connectable to the handheld electronic device and retain the electronic device within an interior space of the case, the case comprising a rear portion that is positioned along a rear surface of the electronic device and a side portion extending from the rear portion and being positioned adjacent at least a portion of a top, bottom, left and right sides of the electronic device;
wherein the rear portion of the case comprises an attachment region; a flexible non-slip member positioned within the attachment region; and a magnet received within an indentation of the flexible non-slip member; wherein, in use, the magnet allows the case to be removably coupled to a magnetic surface;
wherein an exterior surface of the flexible non-slip member comprises frictional gripping surface features that enhance frictional engagement of the system with the magnetic surface.
9. The case system of claim 8 , further comprising a cover piece adjacent an inner surface of the magnet that, in use, is located between the magnet and the electronic device.
10. The case system of claim 9 , wherein the cover piece is made of the same material as the flexible non-slip member.
11. The case system of claim 8 , wherein the magnet is a rare-earth magnet.
12. The case system of claim 8 , wherein at least a portion of the flexible non-slip member is disposed outwardly of an outer surface of the rear portion of the case.
13. The case system of claim 8 , wherein the frictional gripping surface features comprise ridges.
