    摘要: A method for producing a decorative mobile device case includes uploading a graphic image to a digital printing software application and defining at least one opacity enhancing layer using said digital printing application. The method may also include forming, using said digital printing application, a composite image comprised of said graphic image and said at least one opacity enhancing layer. At least one ink layer is then deposited on a first side of a transparent substrate, wherein the at least one ink layer corresponds to the composite image. Finally after depositing the at least one ink layer, the method includes either inserting the transparent substrate between a mobile electronic device and a mobile device case, or attaching the first side of the transparent substrate to an exterior of the decorative mobile device case.

    摘要: A case includes a case body configured to be equipped by the mobile electronic device. The case body includes at least two button accessing means and the mobile electronic device includes at least two physical buttons. The case further includes an actuator coupled to the case body and movable between at least a first position and a second position, where the actuator comprises two or more engagement members. The engagement members, in cooperation with the button accessing means, depress corresponding physical buttons of the mobile electronic device when the mobile electronic device is equipped with the case and the actuator is in the second position. The engagement members are configured to not depress corresponding physical buttons of the mobile electronic device when the actuator is in the first position.

    摘要: An expandable device includes a body with a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis. The body is movable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. A button is coupled to the first end of the body and includes an inner surface and an engaging member carried by the inner surface. A platform includes an outer surface and a collar extending away from the outer surface and the collar defines a cavity. A locking device is carried by the second end of the body, and a portion of the locking device is adapted to be removably disposed in the cavity of the platform for releasably coupling the body to the platform. When the body is in the collapsed configuration, the engaging member of the button engages the locking device such that the locking device is rotatable relative to the platform between an unlocked and a locked configuration.
