FIG. 1 , shown therein and generally designated by thereference character 10 is the personalelectronic device carrier 10 constructed in accordance with the following description. Thecarrier 10 comprises a pocket portion 11 that includes afront layer 12, wherein thefront layer 12 includes aportion 13 withperforations 14 for transmission of auditory signals there through when a personal electronic device such as a phone is inserted into the pocket portion 11, and aback layer 15 wherein a portion of the layers are attached together about theiredges 16 so as to allow a personal electronic device to be removeably inserted into the pocket portion 11. Thefront 12 and back 15 layers are attached about a portion of their edges by means common in the art, and may include, adhesive, sewing, or any other like means know or to be discovered. - The
front layer 12 is made of a flexible transparent material, preferably PVC, so as to allow operation of said device when positioned in said pocket, however, any like material could be used. For example, when a phone is inserted, the user can still operate the buttons through the transparent and flexiblefront layer 12 and speak through theperforations 14 which allow the auditory signals to pass through. SeeFIG. 10 for an example of aclamshell style phone 40 is shown inserted into thecarrier 10. The clamshell phone generally comprises a first 41 (the display) and second region 42 (the keypad) and only thesecond region 42 is inserted into the pocket portion 11. When thephone 40 is closed, the first region 41 comes in contact with thefront layer 12. It should be appreciated that a candy bar styled phone would also be functional when placed in thecarrier 10 in the same way. - Referring to
FIG. 3 and 6 , theback layer 15 includes aloop layer 16 wherein a portion of theback layer 15 andloop layer 16 are attached together at the upper 17 andlower regions 18 so at to create a loopedportion 19. In further embodiments, theloop layer 16 may include astorage portion 20 such as a small pocket for storing personal items such as money. The looped portion allows for a strap means such as abody strap 30 to thread between theback layer 15 and theloop layer 16 so that thecarrier 10 can be attached to a variety of objects such as an exercise device, a body part of the user, or any location desired by the user. SeeFIGS. 8B-8E , for various examples of where the carrier can be secured with thebody strap 30, which include the arm, wrist, leg, and ankle. Preferably thebody strap 30 utilizes a hook and loop assembly such as Velcro™ to secure thecarrier 10 to an object. Such hook and loop assemblies are well known in the art, but to briefly describe how the assembly is utilized in the present example, the outer layer of thestrap 30 has the loop portion and the hook portion resides on aclip portion 31 at oneend 32 of the strap. A D-ring 33 is located at the opposite end 34 of thestrap 30. In a further embodiment, the strap is customizable to the given user and to the particular location that user wants to attach the carrier to. This is accomplished since theclip portion 31 is fixedly detachable to thestrap 30, such that a user can remove theclip 31 by opening it, trim off the desired amount of strap, and reattach theclip 31 by closing it upon theend 32 of thestrap 30. See FIG. SA for an example of theclip portion 31 shown in its open state andFIG. 4B for thestrap 30 and D-ring 33. Additional strap means include the utilization of aneyelet 21 located on theback layer 15 of the carrier. Theeyelet 21 allows for the attachment of various strap means, examples of which are shown inFIGS. 4C-4E , and include a bracelet strap 22,necklace strap 23, and a belt loop andpurse strap 24 respectively. SeeFIG. 8A for an example of thenecklace strap 23 attached to thecarrier 10 at theeyelet 21 and worn by a user Theeyelet 21 is preferably made of a durable material such as metal. - Referring now
FIGS. 2 and 7 , thecarrier 10 includes retaining means fixedly attached within said pocket portion 11 for detachably retaining the personal electronic device in thecarrier 10. The retaining means preferably is a hook and loop assembly such that one portion 25 of said hook and loop assembly is attached to said backlayer 15 within said pocket portion 11 and oneportion 26 is attached to a portion on the device to be retained, such that when the hook and loop assembly is engaged, the device is detachably retained in said pocket portion 11. Preferably the portion 25 attached to theback layer 15 is sewn on; however, an adhesive or similar means would also work. And preferably, the portion 25 attached to the back layer would be the loop portion. For thehook portion 26 attached to the device, an adhesive is the preferred means of attachment which is accomplished by hook tape as shown by way of example inFIG. 5 . - Referring now to
FIGS. 1 and 9 , thecarrier 10 may include at least one jewelry attachment region located about theperiphery 29 of said pocket portion 11 for attachment of personal effects 44 (such as jewelry) to thecarrier 10 so that the carrier can be personalized by a user. Such jewelry attachment means allow the carrier to be personalized by the user and such means generally come in two types. The first type isattachment loops 27 attached to theback layer 15 of thecarrier 10. The second type includesholes 28 in the corners of thefront layer 12. The attachment means on thecarrier 10 allows for the user to attachpersonal effects 44 that include hooks, clasps, or any other similar engagement device to the carrier by engaging theattachment loops 27 or theholes 28. Theholes 28 in thefront layer 12 may also be utilized for attaching various accessories to the personal electronic device such as head phones, chargers, or any other desired accessory. - While the present disclosure has been described in connection with what is considered the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is understood that this disclosure is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is intended to cover various arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and equivalent arrangements.
