The carrying case may itself determine that a trigger condition has been met. The handheld device may determine that a trigger condition has been met and may alert the user by activating one or more of its user interface elements. The handheld device and the carrying case may communicate via a wireless communication link according to a communication protocol, for example, a Bluetooth® standard, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) standard, a Zigbee™ standard or an ultra wideband (UWB) standard.
