## Abstract

This invention is a pocket that is incorporated into a garment to hold a mobile device safely and securely on the wearer with its sensors exposed such that the mobile device functionality relative to data collection or utilization (audio, video, photographic and other data) is possible in a hands free nature. This will allow a user, without the need for special cases or harnesses, to do hands free POV (Point of View) video recording, photographs, audio recording, and other application driven data collection such as GPS trip mapping, environmental data collection, and two way voice activated communication. The intention is to have the pocket to be a part of many types of clothing consumers wear, so the mobile device is easily put to use for the described functions, is readily available when needed and is a convenient and inexpensive alternative to special harnesses, holders or carriers. The invention also carries out the functions of a standard mobile device holster or harness such that the user can access the device for playing music or other functions in a hands free manner.
