Abstract:
1. A docking system for a mobile electronic device, comprising: a mounting portion removably positionable onto a support surface, the mounting portion comprising a mounting surface that extends along a plane generally parallel to a base surface of the mounting portion; a mounting section on a rear surface of a mobile electronic device, the mounting section having a shape corresponding to a shape of the mounting portion and removably coupleable to the mounting portion via a coupling mechanism to support the mobile electronic device on the support surface; wherein one of the mounting portion and mounting section comprises one or more indexing members and the other of the mounting portion and mounting section comprises one or more indexing elements, the indexing members and elements configured to engage each other to align the mounting section with the mounting portion in one or more rotational orientations on said plane; and wherein the coupling mechanism comprises a magnet on one of the mounting portion and/or the mounting section, the magnet configured to exert a magnetic force between the mounting portion and mounting section to maintain the mounting portion coupled to the mounting section and the magnet is configured to exert a magnetic force in an amount sufficient to maintain the mounting section coupled to the mounting portion while adjusting the rotational orientation of the mounting section relative to the mounting portion, and the magnet is configured to exert a magnetic force between the mounting portion and mounting section in an amount sufficient to maintain the mobile electronic device, and a display thereon, in a generally vertical orientation.
