A portable terminal is a portable information device that combines information collection, storage, preparation, Internet search, and communication functions, and includes a mobile phone, a smart phone, a tablet PC, a PDA, and the like. In addition, portable terminals can be conveniently used indoors and outdoors regardless of time and place while carrying them all the time. Due to their portability and convenience, they have become indispensable living necessities for modern people.

Recently, the use of touch type in mobile terminals has increased, so that not only smartphones, tablet PCs, but also notebook computers are not unfamiliar with the use of touch. However, in a mobile terminal having a small screen such as a smartphone, it is inconvenient to press or touch the small screen with a finger.

In order to solve this inconvenience, a touch pen has been developed, and some portable terminals are provided with a dedicated touch pen. However, since a dedicated touch pen is not provided in most mobile terminals, stylus and various types of touch pens are commercially available and used.

However, since the touch pen is thin or short, it is inconvenient to hold and use by hand, especially in winter, since it is difficult to grip and use, so it is more inconvenient to use.

In addition, since most portable terminals do not provide a dedicated touch pen, there is no place to store the touch pen purchased separately from the portable terminal, which makes storage inconvenient. However, the touch pen is connected with a string to connect to a mobile terminal for use, or a separate mobile terminal case is purchased to store the touch pen.

However, most cases for portable terminals only have simple functions of storing and protecting the portable terminal or storing a card, but do not have a function of storing a touch pen. Also, in the case of a case for a portable terminal that can accommodate some touch pens, only a long bar-type touch pen can be accommodated, so a recently released stylus-type touch pen cannot be stored.

In addition, in the case of a case for a portable terminal, the intrinsic beauty of the portable terminal is impaired, and the number of users using only the portable terminal without a case is increasing for reasons such as an increase in the volume of the portable terminal. In this case, it is more difficult to store the touch pen.

As such, the existing touch pen used for the convenience of the mobile terminal is inconvenient to hold and use with a hand when using gloves, and the use, storage, and portability of the touch pen, etc. causing various problems.
