Abstract
Apparatus and methods related to securing portable devices and their accessories are provided. A housing for an accessory includes a passageway extending at least partially there through. A first feature extending outward from the passageway is removably securable to a portable device. A second feature extending outward from the passageway is removably securable to another entity. The accessory and the portable device are thus securable against theft.
