Abstract

The invention discloses attachment features for an accessory device, and also discloses an accessory device for use with an electronic device. The accessory device may include multiple layers. One layer may be formed from a plastic. Other layers may include a fabric layer and a silicone layer. The accessory device may further include a retaining feature designed to hold or carry an object, such as a stylus for use with the electronic device. The accessory device may include a recessed region suited to receive the retaining feature. This allows the retaining feature to be stored in the accessory device when the retaining feature is not in use. Further, the retaining feature may be co-planar with an interior region of the accessory device such that the electronic device is not disturbed when positioned in the accessory device. In this manner, the retaining feature may be hidden. Also, the retaining feature may be deployed from the recessed region and receive the object.

Description

technical field [0001] The described embodiments relate to accessory devices. In particular, the described embodiments relate to having retaining features designed to retain objects. The retention feature may be fully or partially stowed within the accessory device, or arranged to retain an object. The retention feature may also be a detachable retention feature designed to be disengaged from the accessory device. Background technique [0002] Accessory devices for use with electronic devices are known. In some cases, an electronic device includes a touchscreen capable display that includes one or more sensors designed to receive gestures in response to touch input to the display. This can be performed by the user's finger or by an object. With regard to the latter case, the accessory device generally does not include means for receiving the object. This may cause objects to be lost. Contents of the invention [0003] In one aspect, an accessory device suitable for c...
