Abstract
The walking cane apparatus securely carries a portable device within or without a case. Any appropriate portable device may be transported, including but not limited to such items as a cell phone, a blood pressure monitor, a media player, and a blood sugar monitor, to name but a few. The device is removably carried so that changing of devices and instant removal are easily accomplished. Devices are disposed in an easily accessible position on the apparatus staff, proximal to the handle. By positioning the carry of portable devices strategically, apparatus use in assisting an individual's mobility is not encumbered. The cane apparatus also carries a portable device attractively.
