A sled for retaining an electronic device positioned in a housing includes an elongated member, a plurality of support elements, a clasping mechanism, and a locking element. The elongated member includes a proximal portion and a distal portion. The elongated member circumscribed by a perimeter portion. The plurality of support elements are positioned along the perimeter portion of the elongated member and are configured to support and/or retain the housing. The clasping mechanism is rotatable from a first position configured to retain the electronic device to a second position to release the electronic device. The locking element is adapted to engage the locking portion to selectively lock the clasping mechanism in the first position or the second position.

1. A sled for retaining an electronic device positioned in a housing, the sled comprising: an elongated member having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the elongated member circumscribed by a perimeter portion;a plurality of support elements positioned along the perimeter portion of the elongated member and configured to support and/or retain the housing, the plurality of support elements including a first proximal support element positioned in a first corner of the proximal portion, a second proximal support element positioned in a second corner of the proximal portion, a first distal support element positioned in a first corner of the distal portion, and a second distal support element positioned in a second corner of the distal portion;a clasping mechanism for releasably retaining the housing at least partially within the sled, the clasping mechanism including a locking portion having a locking aperture and a retaining portion ending in a retaining catch configured for contacting a top surface of the housing retained in the sled, the clasping mechanism rotatable from a first position configured to retain the housing to a second position to release the housing; anda locking element adapted to engage the locking portion to selectively lock the clasping mechanism in the first position or the second position, the locking element including a top portion including a gripping feature and a bottom portion including an extended engagement portion configured for being inserted through the locking aperture of the clasping mechanism. 2. The sled of claim 1, wherein the locking portion and the retaining portion of the clasping mechanism form an “L” shape. 3. The sled of claim 1, wherein the clasping mechanism further comprises an axle, the axle joining the clasping mechanism to the elongated member, the clasping mechanism rotating between the first position and the second position about the axle. 4. The sled of claim 1, wherein the clasping mechanism further includes one or more locking stops to stop movement of the locking member in the first position and wherein the extended engagement portion includes a locking groove configured to be coupled with the one or more locking stops. 5. The sled of claim 1, wherein the clasping mechanism includes a biasing member that biases the clasping mechanism toward the first position. 6. The sled of claim 1, wherein the elongated member includes an attachment aperture configured for receiving a snap interface of a utility attachment. 7. The sled of claim 6, wherein the attachment aperture includes an attachment ledge configured for engaging a portion of the snap interface. 8. The sled of claim 6, wherein the attachment aperture includes a snap-tooth receptacle portion configured for receiving a snap tooth of the snap interface. 9. The sled of claim 1, further comprising a camera aperture positioned so as to be aligned with a corresponding camera portion of an electronic device retained in the sled. 10. The sled of claim 1, wherein the first distal support element includes a first cutout and the second distal support element includes a second cutout, the first and the second cutouts positioned so as to be aligned with a speaker and/or microphone portion of an electronic device retained in the sled. 11. A clasping mechanism for retaining an electronic device positioned in a housing, the clasping mechanism comprising: a locking portion having a locking aperture;a retaining portion ending in a retaining catch configured for contacting a top surface of the housing, wherein the clasping mechanism is rotatable from a first position configured to retain the electronic device to a second position to release the electronic device; anda locking element adapted for so as to engage the locking portion to selectively lock the clasping mechanism in the first position or the second position, the locking portion including a top portion including a gripping feature and a bottom portion including an extended engagement portion configured for being inserted through the locking aperture of the clasping mechanism. 12. The clasping mechanism of claim 11, wherein the locking portion and the retaining portion of the clasping mechanism form an “L” shape. 13. The clasping mechanism of claim 12, wherein the clasping mechanism further comprises an axle, the clasping mechanism rotating between the first position and the second position about the axle. 14. A mounting system for an electronic device positioned in a housing, the mounting system comprising: an elongated member having a proximal portion and a distal portion, the elongated member circumscribed by a perimeter portion,a plurality of support elements positioned along the perimeter portion of the elongated member and configured to support and/or retain the housing;a clasping mechanism for releasably retaining the housing at least partially within the mounting system, the clasping mechanism including a locking portion having a locking aperture and a retaining portion ending in a retaining catch configured for contacting a top surface of the housing, the clasping mechanism rotatable from a first position configured to retain the housing to a second position to release the housing;a locking element adapted to engage the locking portion to selectively lock the clasping mechanism in the first position or the second position, the locking element including a top portion including a gripping feature and a bottom portion including an extended engagement portion configured for being inserted through the locking aperture of the clasping mechanism; andan attachment member coupled to the elongated member, the attachment member including a ball member receptacle defining a cavity. 15. The mounting system of claim 14, further comprising a utility member coupled to the attachment member, the utility member including a rotatable ball member adapted to be received within the cavity of the attachment member to form a rotatable ball joint. 16. The mounting system of claim 15, further comprising a tensioning member configured to selectively prevent movement of the rotatable ball joint, the tensioning member including threads configured to be removeably coupled with corresponding threads on the ball member receptacle. 17. The mounting system of claim 16, wherein the utility member is selected from the group consisting of: a belt clip member, a bike clip member, an armband member, a universal mounting member, a car mounting system, a windshield mounting system, an external or internal battery charging system, a solar panel system, and an external speaker system. 18. The mounting system of claim 17, where in the utility member is a bike clip member. 19. The mounting system of claim 17, wherein the utility member is a car mounting system. 20. The mounting system of claim 17, where in the utility member is a belt clip member.
