Body-Worn Smart Device Holder

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of smart device holders. More specifically, the present invention relates to a body-worn smart device holder that is comprised of a generally half-cylindrical or generally c-shaped body, a compartment for storing earphones, and a rotating fastener that allows a smart device to be secured to the device. The body of the device preferably resembles the dimensions of a human arm and may appear in a plurality of shapes and sizes suitable to the needs of the user while being made from a hard or rigid material. Further, the device is also comprised of a rotating fastener to allow for the convenient viewership of a smart device at various angles.

         5 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 4 , wherein the rotating fastener is magnetic. 
     
     
         6 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 4 , wherein the first strap attaches to the second strap. 
     
     
         7 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 4 , wherein the fastener of the first strap is a hook and loop fastener, a magnetic fastener, an adhesive fastener or a snap button fastener. 
     
     
         8 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 6 , wherein the fastener of the second strap is a hook and loop fastener, a magnetic fastener, an adhesive fastener or a snap button fastener. 
     
     
         9 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 4 , wherein each of the first strap and the second strap are manufactured from an elastic material. 
     
     
         10 . A body-worn smart device holder comprising:
 a c-shaped body having a continuous opening, a top surface and a side surface;   a rotating fastener;   a compartment;   a door;   an insert;   a hinge that allows the door to be repositioned relative to the compartment; and   a fastener.   
     
     
         11 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 10 , wherein the c-shaped body is manufactured from a rigid material. 
     
     
         12 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 10 , wherein the rotating fastener rotates 360 degrees. 
     
     
         13 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 12 , wherein the rotating fastener is comprised of an integrated clip. 
     
     
         14 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 10 , wherein the hinge is attached to the door and to the side surface. 
     
     
         15 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 14 , wherein the door covers the compartment. 
     
     
         16 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 10 , wherein the fastener is an adhesive fastener, a magnetic fastener, a hook and loop fastener or a snap fastener. 
     
     
         17 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 15 , wherein the compartment is further comprised of a molded insert. 
     
     
         18 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 17 , wherein the molded insert is shaped to receive a pair of headphones. 
     
     
         19 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 10  further comprising a first strap and a second strap, and further wherein the first strap and the second strap are manufactured from a fabric material. 
     
     
         20 . The body-worn smart device holder of  claim 11 , wherein the rigid material blocks an electromagnetic frequency and a radiation emanating from a smart device.
