Abstract
The disclosure extends to an apparatus, system and method for providing a user with the ability to use a mobile device hands-free while performing other tasks. The disclosure further extends to an apparatus having a substantially rigid body with a pouch formed between an upper portion and a lower portion of the body for receiving a mobile device therein, and a channel formed within the body. The apparatus may utilize a band made from an elastic material that is located within the channel of the body and is freely slidable within the channel to retain and hold the mobile device within the pouch. The apparatus may also include a cover member that substantially covers the body and the band to thereby secure the band within the channel.
Claims20
A hands-free apparatus for holding a mobile device, comprising:
- a substantially rigid body comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein a pouch is formed between the upper portion and the lower portion that is configured for receiving a mobile device therein, and wherein a channel is formed within the upper portion;
- a band made from an elastic material that is located within the channel of the body and is freely slidable within said channel, wherein the band is placed in tension when a mobile device is located within the pouch, thereby holding the mobile device within the pouch;
- and
- a cover member that substantially covers the body and the band to thereby secure the band within the channel.
A hands-free electronics holder for holding an electronic device in a usable position while performing tasks require the use of hands comprising:
- a substantially rigid body comprising a first portion and a second portion wherein the first portion is configured to interface with a first electronic device portion and wherein the second portion is configured to interface with a second electronic device portion;
- an opening for allowing access to inputs/outputs of an electronic device;
- a channel formed within the second portion of the body;
- a band made from an elastic material that is located within the channel of the body and is freely slidable within said channel, wherein the band is placed in tension when an electronic device is located within the pouch, thereby holding the mobile device within the pouch;
- a cover member that substantially covers the body and the band to thereby secure the band within the channel;
- and
- an attachment flap disposed at an angle relative to the body, and comprising opposing members for attaching to structures thereby holding the electronic device in a usable position.
