Abstract

See full text

A protective case design for a personal electronics device (PED) and an optional plug-in accessory, wherein the accessory mounts to the PED by plugging in to a PED interface connector, including at least one first case section covering a portion of the PED not holding the connector, and two interchangeable mating case sections covering the remaining portion of the PED including the connector portion. One of the interchangeable case sections covers the PED in operation without the accessory installed, and the other interchangeable section is configured to protect the accessory and complete the case protection while maintaining operable accessory-to-PED-connector electrical and mechanical connection when the case sections including the accessory are mated together. The accessory may be a thermal imaging camera.
