Abstract

A case for a mobile device includes a flexible covering defining a cavity for receiving and holding the mobile device; a rigid frame at least partially disposed within the flexible covering; and an adapter disposed at least partially within the rigid frame and the flexible covering, the adapter including first contacts, a male plug extending into the cavity, and second contacts disposed on the male plug and electrically coupled to the first contacts; where the adapter, in combination with at least one of the flexible covering or the rigid frame, defines a first male structure extending away from the cavity, where the first contacts of the adapter are disposed on the first male structure. Another case includes at least the flexible covering and adapter and also includes a female connector electrically coupled to the second contacts and having an opening disposed on the first male structure.
