Abstract
An electronic device gripping system allows a user to securely and comfortably hold a portable electronic device using one or more fingers. The system includes a base member having a first surface, a second surface, and a perimeter edge coupled to and extending between the first surface and the second surface. A finger securement member is coupled to the first surface of the base member and receives a finger of a user therein. A connector is coupled to the base member and couples the base member to a cell phone.

An electronic gripping system comprising:
- a base member having a first surface, a second surface, and a perimeter edge coupled to and extending between said first surface and said second surface, said first surface of said base member having a depression extending therein, said first surface of said base member having a track extending downwardly therein;
- a finger securement member coupled to said first surface of said base member, said finger securement member being configured to receive a finger of a user therein, said finger securement member comprising a ring, said finger securement member being comprised of an elastomeric material, said finger securement member being movable relative to said base member, said finger securement member being pivotal relative to said base member, said finger securement member being pivotal into and out of said depression, said finger securement member being positioned flush with respect to said first surface of said base member when said finger securement member is positioned in said depression, said finger securement member including a post being slidable within said track such that said finger securement member is movable to a selectable location within said track, said post having a bottom end, a rivet being attached to said bottom end of said post, said rivet being positionable in said track to engage said track and permit said finger securement member to move along a length of said track, said finger securement member being removably positionable in said track;
- said track having a first free end and a second free end, said second free end having a greater size than said rivet such that said moving said finger securement member to said second free end permits removal of said finger securement member from said track;
- a locking member coupled to said base member, said locking member being engageable with said finger securement member to retain said finger securement member within said depression;
- a connector coupled to said base member, said connector being configured for coupling said base member to a cell phone;
- and
- wherein said finger securement member is one of a plurality of said finger securement members.
