20110252609 | Cord Management System - A cord management system includes a case and a strap. The strap has a first attachment point at a first location on the strap and a second attachment point a second location on the strap. The strap also includes at least two modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the first attachment point is attached to the second attachment point so that a first segment of the strap located between the first attachment point and the second attachment point forms a loop configured to secure a cord that is wrapped around the case. In a second mode of operation, the first attachment point is detached from the second attachment point so that the first segment no longer forms the loop. In some embodiments, the strap is permanently attached to the case, while in other embodiments the strap is semi-permanently attached to the case. | 10-20-2011 |
20110253571 | Cord Management System - A case for a mobile electronic device is provided. The case includes color-changing material that changes color when subjected to different environmental conditions. Cases may include multiple color-changing materials, or color-changing materials that exhibit multiple different colors. In some embodiments, the case has a design that includes color-changing material. The designs are sometimes configured to provide information to a user about an operating condition of the device, such as the temperature. In some embodiments, the color-changing material is thermochromic and/or photochromic. In some mobile electronic device cases, portions of a back surface include magnets and/or magnetic materials, such as magnetic metal. | 10-20-2011 |
20120279756 | MAGNETIC CORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - A cord management apparatus comprises one or more magnets, configurable to be coupled to an electronic cord.
