Mobile Reader Device

To optimize ergonomics, the Blackboard reader device's width is increased only where the card is inserted. Its metallic stripes not only enhance aesthetics but potentially improve signal reception as antennae. The removable battery, accessed via a rear cover, houses screws holding the device together. LED indicators show accept/deny status and backlit Bluetooth & low battery alerts. The on/off switch is on the left side while USB charging is at the bottom. The stable charging station can be fixed to a surface, with its heavy base ensuring a low center of gravity. The card slot's on/off status is indicated by backlighting arrows below it.
