Garment pocket for touch screen mobile devices

Abstract

A garment-engaged pocket housing for portable electronic devices provides a body engaged mount for use of such devices. The pocket housing provides a pocket for the electronic device on the sleeve of a garment. A front wall of the pocket is formed of transparent material allowing finger input to the device within the pocket and a view of the device display. A remote antenna may be provided for reception as well as shielding in the rear of the pocket to protect the user against RF transmission. The pocket housing may be removably engaged. A fabric conduit along the sleeve provides a passageway for earphones and the like while also preventing stretching of the sleeve from the weight of the device.
