摘要： A wristband can comfortably secure an electronic device, such as a wristwatch or fitness/health tracking device, to a wrist of a user. The wristband can include a number of magnets that allow the wristband to be magnetically coupled to itself when folded over or when separate band portions are overlapping. The magnets can include a polymer mixed with a magnetic material to provide magnetic properties and flexibility. The magnets can be joined together by a continuous support structure that extends through opposing pairs of the magnets. The support structure can provide substantial and ability as well as tensile strength. The magnets and the support structure can be surrounded by a flexible cover to protect the components within.

摘要： Embodiments are directed to a user input device that forms a cover for an electronic device. In one aspect, an embodiment includes a computing system having a segmented cover and a portable electronic device coupled to the segmented cover. The segmented cover may define an attachment panel and an input panel. The portable electronic device may be coupled to the segmented cover. The input panel may be configured to be placed over a device display of the portable electronic device. The input panel may include an accessory display and a touch-sensitive layer coupled to the accessory display.
