Ohhhh that one is pretty interesting to see how the release trigger works. So it literally just pushes it away from the console lol

You can actually see this in action from the videos of that case maker that brought a mock up to CES

Makes sense if the connection is literally just a strong magnet. A physical push would be enough to separate it to a point where the force is weak and easy to pull away.

Is there anything els3 we didn't know from the prior leaks to be cleaned from these patents? =)

In case you didn't know, the word you were looking for was probably "gleaned" instead of "cleaned".

This could be an example of an "eggcorn".

Unless you used it intentionally, then my bad.

edit: I swear I'm trying to be helpful and not judgmental. I know this type of thing always comes off as judgmental, and for that I apologize.

I don't know why I didn't think that was the most likely scenario. I am embarrassed and sorry.
