Claims14
A method of transporting a mobile phone comprising the steps of:
- providing an elongated strap;
- threading a first strap end of said elongated strap through the following:
- a first swivel strap loop;
- a first strap length adjuster, with a first strap length adjuster central bar;
- a second strap length adjuster, with a second strap length adjuster central bar;
- a second swivel strap loop;
- threading a first strap end a second time up through and into said second strap length adjuster, over said second strap length adjuster central bar and back down and out of said second strap length adjuster;
- folding said first strap end back onto a first intermediate portion of said elongated strap which, when measured along a central longitudinal line of said elongated strap from said first strap end, is a closest portion to said first strap end that has been threaded over said first strap length adjuster central bar and has not been threaded over said second strap length adjuster central bar;
- creating a first joined strap terminal portion, by joining said first intermediate portion and a first portion adjacent to said first strap end;
- threading a second strap end of said elongated strap, a first time up through and into said first strap length adjuster, over said first strap length adjuster central bar and back down and out of said first strap length adjuster;
- folding said second strap end back onto a second intermediate portion of said elongated strap which has not been threaded over said first strap length adjuster central bar;
- creating a second joined strap terminal portion, by joining said second intermediate portion and a second portion adjacent to said second strap end;
- adjusting a separation distance characteristic, along said elongated strap, of said first strap length adjuster and said second strap length adjuster, to create a first configuration having a first predetermined use characteristic;
- coupling a mobile phone to said first swivel strap loop and said second swivel strap loop and using said first configuration in accordance with said first predetermined use characteristic;
- further adjusting said separation distance characteristic to create a second configuration having a second predetermined use characteristic;
- and
- using said second configuration in accordance with said second predetermined use characteristic.
