fitting insertion protrusions of a slider plate to corresponding insertion holes of the clip retaining member; welding a slider and the clip retaining member together while the insertion protrusions are fitted into the insertion holes; and connecting the top plate of the clip to the bottom plate using a hinge. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: sliding the slider into the slider connection of the electronic device retainer. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the slider connection includes a pair of slider racks with a limit stop at one side of and between the pair of slider racks and a backstopper provided at another side of the pair of slider racks opposite to the limit stop. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the backstopper is an elastic protrusion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the pair of slider racks 12 has edges bent over toward each other. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The method according to claim 3, wherein the limit stop has an edge bent over toward the backstopper. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the slider connection is integrally formed in the electronic device retainer. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the slider includes a slider plate that fits into the slider rack of the slider connection, a circular plate protruding from a center portion of the slider plate, and the insertion holes at a front surface of the circular plate. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the slider connection is formed on a separate substrate that includes a rivet hole having a step edge at the center, so that the substrate is tightly affixed to the electronic device retainer using a rivet. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising: inserting a spring-load pall into the clip retaining member prior to welding the slider and the clip retaining member together. ### Claim 11 A connecting structure for an electronic device retainer, comprising: a clip having a bottom plate having a hole therethrough with grooved teeth about the circumference thereof and a top plate attached to the bottom plate by a hinge; a slider connection attached to the electronic device retainer, wherein the slider connection includes a pair of slider racks with a limit stop at one side of and between the pair of slider racks and a backstopper provided at another side of the pair of slider racks opposite to the limit edge; a slider having a slider plate that fits into the slider rack of the slider connection; and a clip retaining member with a spring-loaded pall in contact with the grooved teeth of the bottom plate and attached to the slider plate for connecting a clip to the mobile phone retainer such that the clip can be rotated in an indexing manner. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The connection structure according to claim 11, wherein the pair of slider racks has edges bent over toward each other. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The connection structure according to claim 11, wherein the limit stop has and edge bent over toward the backstopper. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The connection structure according to claim 11, wherein the slider connection is integrally formed in the mobile phone retainer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The connection structure according claim 11, wherein the slider includes a slider plate that fits into the slider rack of the slider connection, a circular plate protruding from a center portion of the slider plate, and the insertion holes at a front surface of the circular plate. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The connection structure according to claim 11, wherein the slider connection is formed on a separate substrate from the electronic device retainer and the substrate is permanently attached to the electronic device retainer. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The connection structure according to claim 16, wherein the separate substrate includes a rivet hole having a step edge at the center, so that the substrate is affixed to the electronic device retainer using a rivet. ### Claim 18 A connecting structure for an electronic device retainer, comprising: a clip having a bottom plate with a guide groove and a top plate attached to the bottom plate by a hinge; a slider connection permanently attached to the electronic device retainer, wherein the slider connection includes a pair of slider racks with a limit stop at one side of and between the pair of slider racks and a backstopper provided at another side of the pair of slider racks opposite to the limit stop; a slider having a slider plate that fits into the slider rack of the slider connection; and a clip retaining member having a rim edge for insertion into the guide groove of the bottom plate. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The connection structure according to claim 18, wherein the guide groove includes a latch and the clip retaining member includes a stopper opening at the center of the rim edge so that a latch of the guide groove can be latched within stopper opening when the rim edge is inserted into the guide groove. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The connection structure according to claim 18, wherein the pair of slider racks has edges bent over toward each other the limit stop has an edge bent over toward the backstopper.
