A phone holder for holding a mobile phone in a connected state with a holder connector. The phone holder has a fixed casing and a movable casing. The movable casing is mounted with the holder connector and formed with a hollow portion therein. The movable casing is mounted on the fixed casing and is settable between a housed position and a detachable position. When set at the detachable position, the hollow portion of the movable casing is accessible to enable insertion of the mobile phone in the movable casing in the connecting direction with the holder connector.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A phone holder for holding a mobile phone comprising: 
 a movable casing formed with a hollow portion adapted for receiving the mobile phone;    a holder connector mounted on the movable casing at such a position as to be connectable with the mobile phone when the mobile phone is inserted in the movable casing; and    a fixed casing for supporting the movable casing,    the movable casing settable between a housed position where the movable casing is housed in the fixed casing along with the mobile phone and a detachable position where the hollow portion is accessible to allow insertion of the mobile phone with the holder connector and ejection of the mobile phone, wherein the movable casing includes a main body formed with the hollow portion to set the holder connector and a cover mounted on the main body to cover the holder connector set in the main body of the movable casing, the cover and the main body holding the holder connector therebetween when the cover is mounted on the main body.    
     
     
         2 . The phone holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the main body and the cover of the movable casing is provided with a connector stopper for restricting a movement of the holder connector along a connecting direction by an engagement with the holder connector, and the engaged state of the holder connector with the connector stopper is retained when the cover is mounted on the main body of the movable casing.  
     
     
         3 . A phone holder for holding a mobile phone comprising: 
 a movable casing formed with a hollow portion adapted for receiving the mobile phone;    a holder connector mounted on the movable casing at such a position as to be connectable with the mobile phone when the mobile phone is inserted in the movable casing; and    a fixed casing for supporting the movable casing,    the movable casing settable between a housed position where the movable casing is housed in the fixed casing along with the mobile phone and a detachable position where the hollow portion is accessible to allow insertion of the mobile phone with the holder connector and ejection of the mobile phone, wherein the movable casing is formed with a recess at a bottom wall thereof to receive a bulged portion formed on a plane of the mobile phone opposing to the bottom wall.    
     
     
         4 . The phone holder as defined in  claim 3 , wherein the recess of the movable casing is formed in such a shape as to fit the bulged portion of the mobile phone in a one-size-fits-all manner, the bulged portion being different in a projected amount from a flat bottom plane of the mobile phone due to a type of battery to be loaded therein.  
     
     
         5 . The phone holder as defined in  claim 3 , wherein the movable casing side walls which together with the bottom form an opening opened upward and in a front direction, the holder connector is provided at a rear position of the movable casing to be connectable with the mobile phone in a phone connecting direction, the movable casing is formed at the rear position on the side wall with a cover in such a shape as to cover part of the mobile phone to prevent the mobile phone from being obliquely connected to and detached from the holder connector.  
     
     
         6 . The phone holder as defined in  claim 3 , wherein the movable casing has side walls which together with the bottom wall form an opening opened upward and in a front direction, the holder connector is provided at a rear position of the movable casing to be connectable with the mobile phone in the phone connecting direction, the recess of the movable casing is shaped into a stepped portion with a level thereof higher toward the holder connector to secure an abutment of a leading end of the mobile phone with the stepped portion so as to prevent the mobile phone from intruding further rearward of the movable casing over the stepped portion.
