    Abstract: An accessory device for an electronic device is disclosed. The accessory device may include a unitary body having a first region, a second region, and a hinge positioned between the first region and the second region. When a force is applied to the first region, the first region may bend or pivot at the hinge. When bent, the first region allows the electronic device to slide into or out of the accessory device. Further, the electronic device may slide into or out of the accessory device in a straight or linear manner. Also, the accessory device may further include a power supply designed to supply electrical current to a battery of the electronic device. The accessory device may further include a connector that electrically connects the power supply with the electronic device. The sliding motion of the electronic device prevents the connector from damage by bending.

    Abstract: An electronic device such as a cover for a portable device or other electronic equipment may have circuitry mounted in a housing. The housing may be formed from layers of material such as fabric and polymer layers. The fabric may be formed from woven polymer yarn. The fabric may be treated with chemicals to improve stain resistance and wear resistance, may be provided with a polymer backing layer, and may receive molded plastic structures. Patterned areas may be woven into the fabric, may be formed by placing coatings on selected portions of the fabric, or may be formed by embroidering or otherwise locally processing the fabric. The patterned areas may form labels for keyboard keys, logos, key trim patterns, and other features for an electronic device. Patterned areas may have locally enhanced light transmission characteristics and may be backlit.

    Abstract translation: 诸如用于便携式设备或其他电子设备的盖子的电子设备可以具有安装在壳体中的电路。 壳体可以由诸如织物和聚合物层的材料层形成。 织物可以由编织聚合物纱线形成。 织物可以用化学品处理以改善耐污性和耐磨性,可以提供聚合物背衬层,并且可以接收模塑塑料结构。 图案化区域可以编织到织物中,可以通过在织物的选定部分上放置涂层而形成,或者可以通过刺绣或以其它方式局部加工织物而形成。 图案化区域可以形成用于键盘键,徽标,键修剪图案和电子设备的其它特征的标签。 图案化区域可以具有局部增强的光透射特性并且可以是背光的。
