Wrist holder for cell phones

Abstract

A holder for holding a cell phone includes a body portion formed of flexible sheet material. One surface of the body portion is completely covered by a layer of a synthetic hook or loop fastener component. Converging straps of the holder resist movement of the holder and any cell phone releasably attached to the layer of synthetic hook or loop fastener component relative to a wearer's wrist.

1 . A holder of unitary construction for holding a cell phone or other portable wireless instrument on a wrist, said holder including in combination:
 a body portion formed of flexible sheet material having a top surface and a bottom surface of generally isosceles triangular-shaped configuration having three sides and three apices, a first lobe formed at a first apex of said apices and a second lobe formed at a second apex of said apices, said first Lobe and said second lobe projecting outwardly away from one another in diametric opposition, said body portion having a central segment positioned substantially midway between said first and second apices and extending to said third apex;   a layer of a synthetic hook or loop component of synthetic hook and loop fastener material covering the top surface of said flexible sheet material; and   a layer of a synthetic hook or loop component of synthetic hook and loop fastener material covering at least one of the first and second lobes at the bottom surface of said flexible sheet material for selective fastening to the synthetic hook or loop component covering the top surface of said flexible sheet material to secure the holder to and about the wrist of an individual.   
     
     
         2 . The holder according to  claim 1  wherein said central segment is partially defined by two spaced openings formed in said body portion. 
     
     
         3 . The holder according to  claim 2  wherein said body portion includes two side straps defined by said spaced openings and the outer peripheral edge of said body portion. 
     
     
         4 . The holder according to  claim 3  wherein said side straps extend from said first and second apices and converge in the direction of said third apex, said straps stabilizing said holder to resist movement of said holder relative to a wearer's wrist. 
     
     
         5 . The holder according to  claim 1  additionally comprising a pad secured to the bottom surface of said flexible sheet material at said central segment. 
     
     
         6 . The holder according to  claim 1  wherein said body portion is leather. 
     
     
         7 . In combination:
 a holder of unitary construction for holding a cell phone or other portable wireless instrument on a wrist, said holder including a body portion formed of flexible sheet material having a top surface and a bottom surface of generally isosceles triangular-shaped configuration having three sides and three apices, a first lobe formed at a first apex of said apices and a second lobe formed at second apex of said apices, said first lobe and said second lobe projecting outwardly away from one another in diametric opposition, said body portion having a central segment positioned substantially midway between said first and second apices and extending to said third apex, a layer of a synthetic hook or loop component of synthetic hook and loop fastener material covering the top surface of said flexible sheet material, and a layer of a synthetic hook or loop component of synthetic hook and loop fastener material covering at least one of the first and second lobes at the bottom surface of said flexible sheet material for selective fastening to the synthetic hook or loop component covering the top surface of said flexible sheet material to secure the holder to and about the wrist of an individual;   a cell phone; and   a piece of synthetic hook or loop fastener material attached directly to said cell phone or to a case holding said cell phone to releasably retain said cell phone on the wrist of the individual.
