Abstract
A mobile device accessory for measuring a dimension is described. The accessory includes a housing having a mating feature that is adapted to mate with a corresponding mating feature of a mobile device. A measuring tape includes a detectable pattern thereon. The detectable pattern is related to the dimension. The accessory also includes a detector that generates a signal in response to detecting the pattern. A processor generates dimension data in response to receiving the signal. An interface transmits the dimension data to the mobile device.
