DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Implementations of a phone pouch are provided. In some implementations, the phone pouch comprises an elongated material and at least one pocket on a first portion of the elongated material. For example, in some implementations, the phone pouch comprises a first elongated piece of material and a second piece of material attached to the first elongated piece of material. In some implementations, the second piece of material forms a pocket on a first portion of the first elongated piece of material.
In some implementations, the phone pouch is rectangular. In some implementations, the phone pouch is any suitable shape.
In some implementations, the first portion of the phone pouch having the pocket is configured to hold or securely hold a mobile phone in the pocket.
In some implementations, a second portion of the phone pouch is configured to be inserted in or behind clothing worn by a user so that the mobile phone held by the pocket on the first portion of the phone pouch can be carried hands-free on-person by a user. In some implementations, the first portion is on a first side of the phone pouch and the second portion is on a second side of the phone pouch.
In some implementation, the phone pouch is configured to be positioned over a boundary (e.g., a waist portion) of clothing. That is, in some implementations, the phone pouch is configured such that the second side of the phone pouch can be inserted in or behind an item of clothing worn by a user and the first side can be positioned exterior to the item of clothing. In this way, the second side of the phone pouch is tucked inside of behind an item of clothing worn by a user and the first side of phone pouch hangs over the boundary of the item of clothing and outside of the item of clothing.
In some implementations, the phone pouch comprises at least one pocket on one side of the elongated material on a front side where the pocket is configured to insert a mobile phone. In some implementations, the phone pouch comprises a first pocket on a first side of the elongated material on a front side and a second pocket on a second side of the elongated material on a front side. In some implementations, the first pocket on a first side of the elongated material on a front side and the second pocket on a second side of the elongated material on a front side extend in opposite directions.
In some implementations, one or both sides of the phone pouch may comprise two or more pockets. In some implementations, at least one of the pockets on one or both sides of the phone pouch may be configured to hold or securely hold a mobile phone. In some implementations, at least one of the pockets on one or both sides of the phone pouch may be configured to hold or securely hold other items such as a key, credit card, glasses, medication such as an Epi-pen or inhaler, or any other suitable item.
In some implementations, the two or more pockets on one side of the phone pouch on a front side may be stacked on top of each other. In some implementations, the front outer pocket may be more shallow (i.e., less deep) than the back inner pocket of the stacked pockets.
In some implementations, one side of the phone pouch on a front side may comprise the same number of pockets as the other side of the phone pouch on a front side. In some implementations, one side of the phone pouch on a front side may comprise a different number of pockets than the other side of the phone pouch on a front side.
In some implementations, the end of the phone pouch that is tucked into or behind the clothing may include one or more weights to help keep the end of the phone pouch in place.
In some implementations, the phone pouch is made of a soft, stretchy material configured to hug the mobile phone snugly and to pivot with the motions of the user.
In some implementations, the phone pouch can be embellished, branded, or made in different colors or fabric patterns for style.
In some implementations, an example use of the phone pouch comprises inserting the second portion of the phone pouch into or behind an item of clothing worn by the user and positioning the first portion of the phone pouch having the pocket exterior to the clothing. In this way, a portion of the phone pouch hangs over the boundary of the item of clothing and outside of the item of clothing for holding a mobile phone. For example, in some implementations, the phone pouch may be worn by inserting a first end of the phone pouch into or behind the pants of a user and positioning a second, opposite end of the phone pouch exterior to the pants such that the phone pouch hangs over the waistband and outside of the pants. In some implementations, a phone may be inserted into a pocket on the phone pouch exterior to the pants to carry the mobile phone hands-free on-person by the user.
In this way, in some implementations, the phone pouch of the present disclosure provides a way for a user to securely carry a mobile phone hands-free on-person. This may be useful when the user's clothing lacks a pocket or has pockets that are too small, shallow, or loose for a user to carry a mobile phone hands-free on-person.

In some implementations, as shown in FIGS. 1A, the phone pouch 100 comprises an elongated material 102 and at least one pocket (e.g., pocket 108) on a first portion 106 of the elongated material 102 on a front side 130. For example, in some implementations, the phone pouch 100 comprises a first elongated piece of material 102 and a second piece of material 104 attached to the first elongated piece of material 102. In some implementations, the second piece of material 104 forms a pocket 108 on a first portion 106 of the first elongated piece of material 102 on the front side 130.
In some implementations, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the first piece of material 102 comprises a left edge 122 having a first end and a second end; a right edge 124, opposite the left edge 122, and having a first end and a second end; a top edge 126 extending from the first end of the left edge 122 to the first end of the right edge 124; a bottom edge 128, opposite the top edge 125 and extending from the second end of the left edge 122 to the second end of the right edge 124; a front side 130 bounded by the left edge 122, right edge 124, top edge 126, and bottom edge 128; and a back side 132, opposite the front side 130 and bounded by the left edge 122, right edge 124, top edge 126, and bottom edge 128.
As shown in FIG. 1H, in some implementations, the first piece of material 102 is thin. In some implementations, the first piece of material 102 is elongated. In some implementations, the first piece of material 102 is rectangular-shaped. In some implementations, the first piece of material 102 is any suitable shape. In some implementations, the first piece of material 102 is flexible. In some implementations, the first piece of material 102 has any other suitable quality as discussed in greater detail below.
In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 1H, similar to the first piece of material 102, the second piece of material 104 having a front side 146 and back side 148 is bounded by a left edge 138, a right edge 140, a top edge 142, a bottom edge 144. In some implementations, the length 150 of the second piece of material 104 is less than the length 134 of the first piece of material 102.
In some implementations, the left edge 138 of the second piece of material 104 is attached adjacent to (i.e., on or near) the left edge 122 of the first piece of material 102. In some implementations, the bottom edge 144 of the second piece of material 104 is attached adjacent to the bottom edge 128 of the first piece of material 102. In some implementations, the right edge 140 of the second piece of material 104 is attached adjacent to the right edge 124 of the first piece of material 102.
In some implementations, the top edge 142 of the second piece of material 104 forms an opening 154 of the first pocket 108 along a portion of the width 136 of the first piece of material 102.
As discussed above, in some implementations, the second piece of material 104 forms the first pocket 108 on the first piece of material 102 within a first portion 106 of the phone pouch 100.
In some implementations, the second piece of material 104 is flexible. In some implementations, the second piece of material 104 has any other suitable quality.
As shown in FIG. 1C and 1D and discussed in more detail below, in some implementations, the first portion 106 of the phone pouch having the pocket (e.g., pocket 108) is configured to hold or securely hold a mobile phone 302 in the pocket. For example, in some implementations, the length 150 and/or width 152 of the second piece of material 104 is configured so that the mobile phone 302 snugly fits in the first pocket 108 of the phone pouch 100 formed by the second piece of material 104. Furthermore, as discussed further below, in some implementations, the phone pouch 100 is composed of one or more materials configured so that the mobile phone 302 is snugly held in the first pocket 108.
As will be discussed further below with reference to FIG. 3, in some implementations, a second portion 110 of the phone pouch is configured to be inserted in or behind clothing worn by a user so that the mobile phone held by the pocket on the first portion 106 of the phone pouch 100 can be carried hands-free on-person by a user. In some implementations, the first portion 106 is on a first side of the phone pouch 100 and the second portion 110 is on a second side of the phone pouch.
In some implementation, the phone pouch 100 is configured to be positioned over a boundary (e.g., a waist portion) of clothing. That is, in some implementations, the phone pouch 100 is configured such that the second side of the phone pouch 100 can be inserted in or behind an item of clothing worn by a user and the first side can be positioned exterior to the item of clothing. In this way, the second side of the phone pouch 100 is tucked inside of behind an item of clothing worn by a user and the first side of phone pouch hangs over the boundary of the item of clothing and outside of the item of clothing.
In some implementations, the phone pouch 100 comprises at least one pocket (e.g., pocket 108) on one side of the elongated material 102 on a front side 130 where the pocket (e.g., pocket 108) is configured to insert a mobile phone 302. In some implementations, the phone pouch 100 comprises a first pocket (e.g., pocket 108) on a first side of the elongated material 102 on a front side 130 and a second pocket (e.g., pocket 114) on a second side of the elongated material 102 on a front side 130. For example, in some implementations, the phone pouch 100 further comprises a third piece of material 112 attached to the first piece of material 102 on a front side 130 to form a second pocket 114.
In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 1I, similar to the first piece of material 102, the third piece of material 112 having a front side 164 and a back side 166 is bounded by a left edge 156, a right edge 158, a top edge 160, a bottom edge 162. In some implementations, the length 168 of the third piece of material 112 is less than the length 134 of the first piece of material 102.
In some implementations, the left edge 156 of the third piece of material 112 is attached adjacent to (i.e., on or near) the right edge 124 of the first piece of elongated material 102. In some implementations, the bottom edge 162 of the third piece of material 112 is attached adjacent to the top edge 126 of the first piece of elongated material 102. In some implementations, the right edge 158 of the third piece of material 112 is attached adjacent to the left edge 122 of the first piece of elongated material 102. In some implementations, the top edge 160 of the third piece of material 112 forms an opening 172 of the second pocket 114 along a portion of the width 136 of the first piece of elongated material 102. In this way, the third piece of material 112 forms the second pocket 114 on the first piece of material 102 within a second portion 110 of the phone pouch 100.
In some implementations, as shown in FIGS. 1E and 1F, the second pocket 114 further comprises a closure or fastener 176 configured to close or partially close the opening 172 of the second pocket 114. In some implementations, the closure may be a snap closure, a button closure, a zipper closure, a hook and loop closure, or any other suitable closure configured to close or partially close the opening 172 of the second pocket 114.
In some implementations, the first pocket (e.g., pocket 108) on a first side of the elongated material 102 on a front side 130 and the second pocket (e.g., pocket 114) on a second side of the elongated material 102 on a front side 130 extend in opposite directions.
In some implementations, one or both sides of the phone pouch 100 may comprise two or more pockets. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, a first side 106 may comprise a plurality of pockets (e.g., pockets 108, 118) and/or a second side 110 may comprise a plurality of pockets (e.g., pockets 114, 118). For example, in some implementations, the phone pouch 100 further comprises additional pieces of material 112 attached to the first piece of material on a front side 130 to form additional pockets as discussed above.
As discussed above and in more detail below, in some implementations, at least one of the pockets on one or both sides of the phone pouch may be configured to hold or securely hold a mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 1E and 1F and discussed in more detail below, in some implementations, at least one of the pockets (e.g., pocket 114) on one or both sides of the phone pouch may be configured to hold or securely hold other items such as a credit card 116, key (not shown), glasses (not shown), medication (not show) such as an Epi-pen or inhaler, or any other suitable item. For example, in some implementations, the length 168 and/or width 170 of the third piece of material 112 is configured so that the one or more of the credit card 116, the key, or the pair of eyeglasses snugly fits in the second pocket 114 of the phone pouch 100. Furthermore, as discussed further below, in some implementations, the phone pouch 100 is composed of one or more materials configured so that the one or more of the credit card 116, the key, or the pair of eyeglasses is snugly held in the second pocket 114. In some implementations, as represented in FIG. 1F, the second pocket 114 is configured to securely hold one or more of another item 174, such as an inhaler, an Epi-pen, or any other suitable item.
In some implementations, the two or more pockets on one side of the phone pouch 100 on a front side 130 may be stacked on top of each other. For example, in some implementations, a third piece of material 112 may be attached to the second piece of material 104 within the first portion 106 of the phone pouch 100 to form a second pocket 118 on top of the first pocket 108. In some implementations, the left edge 156 of the third piece of material 112 is attached adjacent to (i.e., on or near) the left edge 138 of the second piece of material 104. In some implementations, the bottom edge 162 of the third piece of material 112 is attached adjacent to the bottom edge 144 of the second piece of material 104. In some implementations, the right edge 158 of the third piece of material 112 is attached adjacent to the right edge 140 of the second piece of material 104. In some implementations, the top edge 160 of the third piece of material 112 forms an opening 172 of the second pocket 118 along the width 152 of the second piece of material 104.
In some implementations, the third piece of material 112 is flexible. In some implementations, the third piece of material 112 has any other suitable quality.
In some implementations, the second pocket 118 may have the same length and/or width as the first pocket 108. In some implementations, the second pocket 118 may a different length and/or width than the first pocket 108. In some implementations, the one or more additional pockets 118 may have different lengths and/or widths.
In some implementations, the front outer pocket 118 may be more shallow (i.e., less deep) than the back inner pocket 108 of the stacked pockets.
In some implementations, one side of the phone pouch 100 on a front side 130 may comprise the same number of pockets as the other side of the phone pouch on a front side 130. In some implementations, one side of the phone pouch 100 on a front side 130 may comprise a different number of pockets than the other side of the phone pouch 100 on a front side 130.
In some implementations, as shown in FIG. 1I, the phone pouch 100 further comprises a weighted portion 120. In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 comprises a closed pouch or compartment 120 containing weighted material. In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 may comprise weighted material sewn or otherwise attached to the first piece of elongated material 102. In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 comprises one or more removable weights. In some implementations, the one or more of removable weights may be housed in the second pocket 114 within the second portion 110 or any pocket of the phone pouch 100. In some implementations, the one or more removable weights may be removably attached by any other suitable manner.
In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 is located adjacent to (e.g., at or near) the top edge 126 of the first piece of elongated material 102.
In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 is configured to counter-weight the phone pouch 100 to keep the second portion 110 of the phone pouch 100 inserted in or behind clothing worn by a user of the phone pouch 100. In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 weighs at least 4.25 ounces. In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 weighs less than 4.25 ounces. In some implementations, the weighted portion 120 is sufficient to offset the weight of a phone inserted on the opposite end.
In some implementations, the weighted material may be stainless steel. In some implementations, the weighted material may be any suitable metal or other material.
