ABSTRACT:
A retaining apparatus includes a first compartment for removably receiving a portable computing device and a second compartment for removably retaining a peripheral device. A bulkhead between the two compartments includes electrical connectors for interconnecting such devices when mounted within their respective compartments. The compartments are preferably formed from a single enclosure to provide rigidity to the retaining apparatus. The bulkhead connectors are sized and shaped to connect to complementary connectors on the devices when the devices are slidably inserted into their compartments. Various openings and other connectors are also provided within the retaining apparatus to allow access to connectors, slots and other features of the devices while they are mounted therein. In addition, another electrical connector is provided in the bulkhead for enabling a peripheral device outside the apparatus to be connected to the computing device.
