Abstract
A combination mount and wallet for a cellular phone removably mounts the cellular phone to a dashboard of a vehicle, and removably receives one or more credit cards, driver's license, etc. A base is affixed to the dashboard of the vehicle. A mount plate is carried by the base on an articulated joint, such as a ball-and-socket joint. The mount plate has a hook portion of a hook-and-loop type fastener. A card or wallet is affixed to the cellular phone. The card or wallet has a loop portion of the hook-an-loop type fastener. Thus, the card or wallet can be removably affixed to the mount plate, and thus the dashboard via the hook-and-loop type fastener. In addition, the wallet forms a pocket with the cellular phone to receive the one or more credit cards, driver's license, etc.
