Patent ID: 10601965

Abstract:
A cradle formation receives and cradles a mobile communications device, and includes a device-receiving mouth, a device edge-opposing periphery portion, a device back-opposing portion, and fastener-letting apertures. The device back-opposing portion is characterized by an accessory-receiving depression and depression-flanking portions. The accessory-receiving depression extends in a depression plane, and the depression-flanking portions extend in a flanking plane parallel to the depression plane. The fastener-letting apertures are positioned at lateral sides of the accessory-receiving depression. The cradle formation is usable in combination with select accessory or fastener assemblies attachable to the cradle formation via the fastener-letting apertures. A banded accessory assembly, for example, may include a band portion having a band width and a band thickness. The band portion is receivable in the accessory-receiving depression via the fastener-letting apertures such that the band width extends intermediate the opposed depression-flanking portions and the band thickness extends intermediate the depression and flanking planes.
