• a cell phone mounting bracket rotatably affixed to the mounting pier around a horizontal axis and having first and second jaws;
• the first jaw having a first back plate, a forward surface of the first back plate adapted for supporting a portion of the weight of a cell phone and being substantially planar, the first back plate having a side margin and a bottom margin, a first upper channel bottom integrally formed with the first back plate to forwardly extend from the side margin of the first back plate, a first lower channel bottom integrally formed with the first back plate to forwardly extend from the bottom margin of the first back plate, an upper portion of a first outer lip of the first jaw being integrally formed with the first upper channel bottom to inwardly extend from the first upper channel bottom so as to be parallel to the forward surface of the first back plate, the forward surface of the first back plate, the first tipper channel bottom, the first outer lip and the first lower channel bottom forming a first u-shaped channel;
• the second jaw having a second back plate, a forward surface of the second back plate adapted for supporting a portion of the weight of the cell phone and being substantially planar, the second back plate having a side margin and a bottom margin, a second upper channel bottom integrally formed with the second back plate to forwardly extend from the side margin of the second back plate, a second lower channel bottom integrally formed with the second back plate to forwardly extend from the bottom margin of the second back plate, an upper portion of a second outer lip of the second jaw being integrally formed with the second upper channel bottom, the forward surface of the second back plate, the second upper channel bottom, the second outer lip and the second lower channel bottom forming a second u-shaped channel;
• the forward surface of the first back plate being substantially coplanar with the forward surface of the second back plate, the first upper channel bottom facing the second upper channel bottom, the first lower channel bottom and the second lower channel bottom being aligned to each other so as to support a lower end of the cell phone;
• and
• the second back plate being horizontally slidable with respect to the first back plate, the cell phone mounting bracket further including means for affixing the second back plate with respect to the first back plate in any of a plurality of positions, so as to accommodate cell phones of different widths.
