A device that secures a mobile communication tool to the posterior region of the body using a cinching mechanism. This apparatus allows hands-free carrying of a phone, typically attached to the waist or lower back area. Examples range from simple belt-clip style holders to more elaborate systems using straps and adjustable fasteners to provide a snug, secure fit.
The primary advantage of this type of carrying solution lies in its accessibility and convenience. It offers an alternative to pocket carry, preventing potential damage to the device and freeing up pocket space. Furthermore, this method can be particularly useful during activities where hands-free operation is essential, such as hiking, running, or working in environments where a phone needs to be readily available without impeding movement. Historically, similar carrying solutions have been employed for tools and equipment, with the evolution of technology adapting these methods for mobile devices.
