Abstract:
1. A carrying case for charging, synchronizing, and storing a large number of similar Handheld Electronic Devices, comprising: an outer shell having a top portion and a bottom portion that are hinged together to enable the top and bottom portions to be selectively opened, to enable access to the interior, and closed, to restrict access to the interior; a divider structure to hold and cushion the large number of similar handheld electronic devices within the interior of the carrying case to prevent the large number of similar handheld electronic devices from contacting each other while stored within the carrying case; circuitry for charging and synchronizing the large number of similar handheld electronic devices while stored within the carrying case; and an electrical surrounding structure separate from the outer shell to attenuate electromagnetic radiation generated by the large number of similar handheld electronic devices from escaping the carrying case when the top portion and bottom portion are closed; wherein the circuitry is a multi-port USB hub; and wherein the divider structure includes a first divider on a first side of the circuitry and a second divider on the second side of the circuitry, to enable handheld electronic devices to be stored and plugged into the circuitry from both sides of the circuitry.
