Problems solved by technology

Many people drop their phones due to the slim / slippery way they are made.
Most handheld devices, due to their smaller size, are easily dropped.
Many users use one or more fingers to control the device, further making the grip on the device less stable.
Conventional cell phone retention devices may be large, cumbersome cases, or, in some cases, may be a rigid ring that is fixed on the phone.
With the rigid rings, there is no way to adjust the position of the phone to achieve a desired position while in use.
Moreover, with current smartphones, where the screen may be viewed both horizontally and vertically, fixed, rigid rings may not be convenient for a user.
