Abstract
Abstract A phone holder connectable around the mid portion of a cordless remote-use type telephone handset, including an elongated flexible strap having mating releasable Velcro-type interconnecting devices at each end for retaining the strap securely in place around the handset. The phone holder also includes a support clip connected to the strap for retaining the handset to a use's waistband. The phone holder may be left in place around the handset during use, carrying, and charging in the base charging unit for the handset, enabled by the unique composition of the strap. The strap may be fabricated of a thin foraminous flexible mesh sheet or a transparent flexible sheet material which facilitates both viewing and operating the handset keys without removing the invention therefrom.
