Battery case for mobile devices
DCFirst Claim
1. A case for a mobile device comprising:
- a bottom section comprising;
a back wall upon which at least a portion of a back of a housing of the mobile device will be placed against, wherein the back wall comprises a top edge;
a battery cell, enclosed in the bottom section;
electronic circuitry, coupled to the battery cell;
a bottom sidewall, connected to the back wall at an end opposite of the top edge, that will be positioned against at least a portion of a bottom side edge of the mobile device;
an internal interface, on the bottom sidewall, positioned to connect to an interface on the mobile device, and coupled through the electronic circuitry to the battery cell; and
an external interface, positioned on an outside of the bottom section, coupled through the electronic circuitry to the battery cell and internal interface; and
a top section comprising;
a top side that will be positioned against at least a portion of a top side edge of the mobile device when the top section is seated against the bottom section; and
an open side end, opposite of the top side,wherein the top section slides onto the bottom section through the open side end,wherein when the top section is seated against the bottom section, the top and bottom sections meet at and form a seam, which extends across a back of the case, andwhen the top section is seated against the bottom section, a first open-polygon-shaped opening for the bottom section merges with a second open-polygon-shaped opening for the top section to form a front opening of the case through which a screen of the mobile device will be visible, the front opening having a closed shape.

Abstract
A battery pack is provided for a mobile communication device, comprising a casing defining a cavity that conforms, at least partially, to the outer shape of the mobile communication device and one or more rechargeable power cells housed within the thickness of the casing. An internal interface engages a corresponding interface on the mobile communication device to provide power from the one or more rechargeable cells to the mobile communication device. An external interface is electrically coupled to the internal interface in order to transmit signals from the mobile communication device to an external device and may further serve to recharge the one or more rechargeable power cells. The battery pack may also serve as an extendible platform by providing additional integrated communication interfaces and/or processors that can be utilized by the mobile communication device to extend its communication and/or processing capabilities.

13. A case for an electronic device comprising:
-
a first case portion comprising; a base surface upon which at least a portion of a back of a housing of the electronic device will be placed against, wherein the base surface comprises a top edge; a battery, enclosed in the first case portion; electronic circuitry, coupled to the battery; a bottom sidewall, connected to the base surface at an end opposite of the top edge, that will be positioned against at least a portion of a bottom side edge of the electronic device; an inner connector, on the bottom sidewall, positioned to connect to a connector of the electronic device, and coupled through the electronic circuitry to the battery; and an outer connector, positioned on an outside of the first case portion, coupled through the electronic circuitry to the battery and the inner connector; and a second case portion comprising; an upper sidewall that will be positioned against at least a portion of a top side edge of the electronic device when the second case portion is seated against the first case portion; and an open side end, opposite of the upper sidewall, wherein the second case portion slides onto the first case portion through the open side end, wherein when the second case portion is seated against the first case portion, the first and second case portions meet at and form a seam, which extends across a back of the case, and when the second case portion is seated against the first case portion, a first open-shaped opening for the first case portion merges with a second open-shaped opening for the second case portion to form a front opening of the case through which a screen of the electronic device will be visible, the front opening having a closed shape. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A case for a mobile device, the case comprising:
-
(i) a first case portion comprising; (1) a base comprising (a) a base front surface; and (b) a base back surface; Wherein at least a portion of a housing of a mobile device will be placed against the base front surface; (2) a battery cell, enclosed within a thickness of the base and between the base front surface and base back surface; (3) electronic circuitry, coupled to the battery cell, to an internal interface, and to an external interface, wherein the internal interface connects to an interface of the mobile device; (4) a guide on a sidewall; and (5) an insert section; and (ii) a second case portion, slideable onto the first case portion; wherein, when the second case portion slides on the guide of the first case portion and over the insert section to attach to the first case portion, edges of the first and second case portions overlap with each other to form a seam, and exterior surfaces of the first and second case portions at the seam become flush with each other; wherein, when the second case portion is seated against the first case portion, the first and second case portions form the seam, which extends across a back of the case; when the second case portion is seated against the first case portion, a first open-shaped opening for the first case portion merges with a second open-shaped opening for the second case portion to form a front opening of the case through which a screen of the mobile device will be visible, the front opening having a closed shape. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
