    Abstract: This application relates to a computing device case that provides some amount of torsional force in order to cancel at least some static and dynamic loads experienced by the computing device when the case is arranged as a stand. By canceling out these loads, the computing device to be angled at an almost unlimited number of angles relative to a surface on which the computing device is resting. Flexible elements in the case can resist the static and dynamic loads of the computing device, thereby allowing the computing device to receive touch inputs at almost any angle without causing the case and the computing device to collapse.

    Abstract: A mobile electronic device can include one or more gyroscopes that each produces a controlled gyroscopic torque. An event is detected by the mobile electronic device. Characteristics of gyroscopic torque to be transmitted to the mobile electronic device may be determined. The spatial orientation of the mobile electronic device is altered by generating gyroscopic torque or torques with the gyroscope.

    Abstract: An accessory device having a first and second body is described. The second body may include a force feedback mechanism that responds to an input received at the first body causing a force feedback. The force feedback mechanism includes coils distributed throughout the second body, with each coil configured to receive an electrical current such that each coil provides an external magnetic field to magnetically couple with one or more magnets disposed in the first body, causing the first body to move in a direction toward the second body. The first body may return to its original position when the external magnetic field is no longer applied. In this regard, the movement of the first body defines the force feedback. Also, the first body may include a keyboard or a touch screen functioning with the force feedback mechanism. The accessory device may be used in conjunction with an electronic device.
