A distribution server is configured to receive from a web portal information about an order request for an accessory and digital content. The distribution server stores the digital content at the distribution server along with authentication information used to authenticate a retrieval request for the digital content from a mobile device. The authentication information includes a claim receipt for the digital content and a Mobile Directory Number (MDN) associated with the mobile device. The mobile device sends the retrieval request to the distribution server. Responsive to the retrieval request, the distribution server determines whether the mobile device is authorized to receive the digital content. Upon determining the mobile device is authorized to receive the digital content, the distribution server forwards the digital content over a communication network to the mobile device.

Personalizing an accessory with digital content

An accessory which has a theme and which may be used with an electronic device may be configured to electronically communicate information about that theme to the electronic device. Correspondingly, the electronic device may be configured to receive the theme information from the accessory and to reflect that theme based on the theme information. The reverse may also take place. The electronic device may be configured to electronically communicate theme information to the accessory, and the accessory may be configured to receive the theme information from the electronic device and to reflect that theme based on the theme information.
