Communications device pocket holster

Abstract

A pocket holster for a communication device, such as a cellular telephone, includes an open top through which the communication device is deposited into the pocket holster. The holster preferably includes a strip of material having an upper edge with rounded corners and a curved bottom. The material near the curved bottom is wider than that near the upper edge. The curved bottom is folded upward towards the upper edge. The edges of the sides near the curved bottom are aligned above the edges of the sides near the upper edge and stitched to one another to create a bulge such that the communication device easily passes into the holster; and, the communication device may be easily retrieved from it. A semi-circular opening is provided between the upper edge and curved bottom.
