Docking platforms formed in one of the largest-surface-area surfaces of mobile electronic devices. Such a docking platform may comprise a docking accessory cavity having a docking connection system comprising one or more docking connectors formed within the cavity, and optionally two or more electrical contacts within the cavity, the contacts electrically connected to electronics within the electronic device and constructed and arranged to allow electrical connection to detachable docking accessories. The docking connection system is operable to form detachable attachments to multiple independent docking accessories simultaneously. The cavities of the docking platforms are shaped to accommodate a broad range of docking accessories that are specially adapted to sit in a generally flush manner with the back surface of the mobile electronic device while attached to the docking connectors. One type of accessory forms an assembly with an expandable accordion attached to the docking platform.

Safety harness

A case includes a case body configured to be equipped by the mobile electronic device. The case body includes at least two button accessing means and the mobile electronic device includes at least two physical buttons. The case further includes an actuator coupled to the case body and movable between at least a first position and a second position, where the actuator comprises two or more engagement members. The engagement members, in cooperation with the button accessing means, depress corresponding physical buttons of the mobile electronic device when the mobile electronic device is equipped with the case and the actuator is in the second position. The engagement members are configured to not depress corresponding physical buttons of the mobile electronic device when the actuator is in the first position.

Apparatus for providing emergency feature activation for mobile electronic devices

A docking accessory adapted to couple to a platform of a mobile electronic device. The docking accessory includes a docking connector portion comprising a first magnetic element configured to detachably attach to a second docking connector portion of the platform, wherein the second docking connector portion comprises a second magnetic element. The docking accessory further includes an accordion forming a tapered shape capable of extending outward from the platform generally along its axis to achieve an extended position, and retracting back toward the platform by collapsing generally along its axis to achieve a collapsed position, as well as a foot disposed at the distal end of the accordion. The docking accessory is operable as a stand for the platform and mobile electronic device when the docking accessory is in the extended position.
