Abstract

A media tablet carrying assembly has a frame adapted to receive the media tablet therein and a support strap attached to said frame. The support strap is suitable for extending around a portion of a user's body such that the frame and the received media tablet are positioned away from the eyes of the user. A rotation mechanism is connected to the frame so as to allow the media tablet to be rotated to a desired orientation. A tilt adjustment mechanism is connected to the frame and to the support strap so as to allow the user to orient the media tablet with a desired angle relation to horizontal.
