Abstract

A smartphone case with LEDS is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, the case includes a front portion adapted to cradle a lower portion of a smartphone, a rear portion adapted to engagingly mate with the front portion to secure the smartphone within the case, a first strip of LEDS and a second strip of LEDS are mounted on opposing sides of the front portion, a vibrating sensor is adapted to activate the LEDS of the case when a vibrator of the smartphone is vibrating, and circuitry is used to control the vibrating sensor and the LEDS. The vibrating sensor detects vibrations of the vibrator of the smartphone when the smartphone is receiving an incoming call or message. The LEDS are programmed to display in a set sequence when activated, where the set sequence to display the LEDS is selected by a user.

Claims
