Shirt for Carrying Mobile Devices and Related Systems Methods

Abstract

An athletic shirt with a pocket on the sleeve configured to receive a mobile device. The sleeve also features a receiver for a strap, wherein the strap can be attached and used to wrap around the user's arm and pocket with the mobile device to securely hold and store the mobile device during exercise, such as running, walking, or weight lifting. The athletic shirt may also feature an interior pocket within the pocket on the sleeve that is configured to carry keys, cash, cards, or other personal items. The athletic shirt can also be worn in casual environments with the strap removed, so that individuals can transition seamlessly from exercising to a casual environment.
