1. A case system for a portable electronic device, the case system comprising:
(I) a front assembly including
(A) a first side,
(B) a second side,
(C) a third side,
(D) a fourth side, and
(E) a base extending perpendicular to and extending between the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side,
wherein at least a portion of the first side extends parallel to at least a portion of the second side,
wherein at least a portion of the third side extends parallel to at least a portion of the fourth side, and
wherein at least the portion of the first side extends perpendicular to the at least a portion of the third side;
(II) a rear assembly coupled to the front assembly, the rear assembly including
(A) a first side
(B) a second side,
(C) a third side,
(D) a fourth side, and
(E) a base extending perpendicular to and extending between the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side,
wherein the base includes an interior side facing the front assembly and an exterior side facing away from the front assembly,
wherein at least a portion of the first side extends parallel to at least a portion of the second side,
wherein at least a portion of the third side extends parallel to at least a portion of the fourth side, and
wherein at least the portion of the first side extends perpendicular to the at least a portion of the third side;
(III) a first electrical connector assembly coupled with the base of the rear assembly,
wherein the first electrical connector assembly includes a first plurality of electrical contacts positioned in a spatial arrangement,
wherein the first plurality of electrical contacts is accessible from the exterior side of the base of the rear assembly,
wherein the first plurality of electrical contacts includes an electrical contact nearest to the at least a portion of the first side of the rear assembly,
wherein the electrical contact of the first plurality of electrical contacts nearest to the at least a portion of the first side of the rear assembly is spaced from the at least a portion of the first side of the rear assembly a first distance,
wherein the first plurality of electrical contacts includes an electrical contact nearest to the at least a portion of the second side of the rear assembly,
wherein the electrical contact of the first plurality of electrical contacts nearest to the at least a portion of the second side of the rear assembly is spaced from the at least a portion of the second side a second distance; and
(IV) a second electrical connector assembly coupled with the base of the rear assembly,
wherein the second electrical connector assembly includes a second plurality of electrical contacts positioned in a spatial arrangement,
wherein the second plurality of electrical contacts is accessible from the exterior side of the base of the rear assembly,
wherein the second plurality of electrical contacts includes an electrical contact nearest to the at least a portion of the first side of the rear assembly,
wherein the electrical contact of the second plurality of electrical contacts nearest to the at least a portion of the first side of the rear assembly is spaced from the at least a portion of the first side of the rear assembly a first distance,
wherein the second plurality of electrical contacts includes an electrical contact nearest to the at least a portion of the second side of the rear assembly,
wherein the electrical contact of the second plurality of electrical contacts nearest to the at least a portion of the second side of the rear assembly is spaced from the at least a portion of the second side of the rear assembly a second distance,
wherein in the first distance of the first electrical connector assembly is equal to the first distance of the second electrical connector assembly,
wherein the second distance of the first electrical connector assembly is equal to the second distance of the second electrical connector assembly, and
wherein the spatial arrangement of the second electrical connector assembly is a duplicate of the spatial arrangement of the first electrical connector assembly.
