Benefits of technology

[0007]The present invention has been developed to accommodate the changing relationship that we have with our smart phones. The present invention provides secure storage while at the same time providing access to the typical touch functions of the smart phone. By combining the use of materials that allow the smart phone touch screen to work while in a pocket and enabling the pocket to be securely closed on all sides, the present invention provides fingertip access to all smart phone functionality while it is being securely stowed.

Problems solved by technology

Most of us feel unsettled when we mistakenly leave our smart phones at home.
The principal current problem is that not all locations, activities and conditions are safe for a smart phone.
The troubling issue is that once asleep, the smart phone can be dropped or be lost under the covers.
The touch screen, when dropped is easily broken and is expensive to replace.
College students and others who use loft or bunk beds do not have a nightstand and they are at increased risk for dropping and breaking their smart phones.
Also, if a smart phone is left on a bedside table, it can be inadvertently dropped when reaching for it in the middle of the night or when turning off its actuated alarm.
However, our play environment might be hazardous to our smart phones.
At the beach, the smart phone is close to sand and water which can significantly damage the device.
If removed and placed on a patio table or on a beach towel, it is at risk, and the smart phone owner constantly frets about it safety.
Yet, the golf bag pocket or the cup holder of a golf cart is even less than ideal and could be more hazardous to the smart phone.
