Abstract:

The hands free device holder is a worn over a user's shoulder to provide at least one pocket for holding a small electronic article, such a cell phone, music player or the like. The device holder is constructed of a flexible material and fashioned to lie over a user's shoulder. A holder portion lies over the user's chest, and has at least one pocket for holding a small electronic device. An anchor portion extends from the shoulder down and across the user's back. The device holder is worn over a seated user's shoulder with the anchor portion held in place between the user's back and a seat back, anchoring the hands free device holder and preventing it from slipping off from the user's shoulder. A bottom surface of the hands free device holder has a relatively high coefficient of friction to prevent slipping.
