Abstract

A portable mobile device accessory is capable of being detachably attached to a mobile device. The mobile device accessory includes a cloth having a first surface which is to clean a surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface and a polymer adhesive layer attached to the second surface of the cloth. The polymer adhesive layer has a tacky surface which includes a re-adherable strip of polymer adhesive designed for temporarily attaching the portable mobile device accessory to a surface of the mobile device. The portable mobile device accessory is capable of functioning as a surface cleaning cloth, a mouse pad, a wrist rest for a keyboard, a stand and/or a protector.

Claims

1. A portable mobile device accessory capable of being detachably attached to a mobile device, comprising:

a cloth having a first surface which is to clean a screen and a second surface opposite to the first surface, wherein the cloth is a single layer; and

a polymer adhesive layer of a single layer formed of polyurethane or polyester attached directly to the second surface of the cloth, the polymer adhesive layer having a tacky surface for temporarily attaching the portable mobile device accessory to a surface of the mobile device, the portable mobile device accessory capable of functioning as at least two of a surface cleaning cloth, a mouse pad and a wrist rest for a keyboard.

2. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 1, wherein the cloth is a microfiber.

3. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 1, wherein the polymer adhesive layer is formed of polyurethane.

4. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 1, wherein the polymer adhesive layer is formed of polyester.

5. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 1, wherein the cloth has two portions having different thicknesses, a protruded portion of the two portions is used as a wrist rest, and the non-protruded portion of the two portions is used as a mouse pad.

6. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 1, wherein the polymer adhesive layer has two portions having different thicknesses, a protruded portion of the portable mobile device accessory is used as a wrist rest, and the non-protruded portion of the portable mobile device accessory is used as a mouse pad.

7. A laptop computer having the portable mobile device accessory of claim 1.

8. The laptop computer of claim 7, wherein the portable mobile device accessory is detachably attached to an outside of the laptop computer.

9. The laptop computer of claim 7, wherein the portable mobile device accessory comprises a pair of the mobile device accessories, and the pair of mobile device accessories are detachably attached below a keyboard of the laptop computer.

10. A tablet PC having the portable mobile device accessory of claim 1.

30. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 1, wherein the polymer adhesive layer is directly attached to the second surface of the cloth by applying a liquid polymer adhesive to the second surface and polymerizing the applied liquid polymer adhesive to be permanently bonded with the second surface.

31. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 1, consisting essentially of the cloth and the polymer adhesive layer.

11. A portable mobile device accessory capable of being detachably attached to a mobile device, comprising:

a first layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the first layer comprising microfiber; and

a polymer adhesive layer attached directly to the second surface of the first layer, the polymer adhesive layer having a tacky surface for temporarily attaching the portable mobile device accessory to a surface of the mobile device, the polymer adhesive layer of a single layer formed of polyurethane or polyester, the portable mobile device accessory having at least one function of a surface cleaning function, a mouse pad function and a wrist rest function.

12. The portable mobile device accessory of claim 11, wherein the first layer comprises material that has a surface enhancing the usability of a mouse.
