Rotatable Accessory For A Mobile Device

Abstract

A combination of a protective case for a mobile device and a handle attached to the protective case allows a person to easily and comfortably hold said mobile device in a secure fashion. An insert of the handle is placed into an insert-receiving cavity of the protective case, the cavity being formed in a planar body. The insert is secured within the insert-receiving cavity by means of an interference fit, which allows the insert to rotate or slide in and out of the cavity with the application of sufficient force. The handle has a gripping body, which provides a number of finger-receiving volumes that a person's fingers can be inserted into. The protective case can be rotated about the insert of the handle as desired. Multiple insert-receiving cavities can be provided to afford a user more choice when attaching the handle to the protective case.
