Abstract: An accessory device is described. The accessory device may include a base region and sidewalls that combine with the base region to secure an electronic device with the accessory device. The accessory device may include a rigid layer having openings in at least some corners of the rigid layer. In order to facilitate insertion and extraction of the electronic device, an elastic material disposed in the openings may join with two sidewalls at the corners, allowing the sidewalls to move or bend with respect to other sidewalls. The accessory device may include a protective layer embedded in a sidewall to provide support to an opening formed in the sidewall. The sidewall may include a protrusion supported by features embedded in sidewall to facilitate pressing the protruding feature, which corresponds to pressing a button of the electronic device.

Abstract: This application relates to devices in which magnets are arranged so that an intensity of a magnetic field emitted by the magnets is substantially the same at a position of interest for at least two discrete positions of the magnets. The application describes how this can be achieved even when the discrete positions are different distances from the position of interest by identifying locations at which magnetic material can be added to balance the field intensity for both discrete locations. In some embodiments, this type of configuration can be helpful in accommodating movement of magnets between two common positions. When the magnetic field intensity for the position of interest is set near zero a magnetically sensitive component can be positioned at the point of interest with little or no effect from the magnetic field when the magnets are in any of the discrete positions.

Abstract translation: 本申请涉及这样的装置，其中磁体被布置成使得磁体发射的磁场的强度在磁体的至少两个离散位置的感兴趣位置上基本相同。 应用程序描述了即使当离散位置与感兴趣的位置不同的距离通过识别可以添加磁性材料的位置以平衡两个离散位置的场强度时，如何实现。 在一些实施例中，这种类型的构造可有助于容纳磁体在两个公共位置之间的移动。 当感兴趣位置的磁场强度设定为接近零时，当磁体处于任何离散位置时，磁敏部件可以位于感兴趣的点处，而不受磁场的影响。
