Abstract

A swivel finger strap device for a mobile device comprises a base with an adhesive layer configured to be adhered to a back of the mobile device. An aperture is formed in the center of the base. A cap is rotatably coupled to the base. A post extends from the cap and through the aperture in the base, and defines a pivot axel about which the cap rotates with respect to the base. The cap has an interior cavity on an interior side of the cap, and is sized and shaped to receive substantially all of the base therein. A flexible strap is affixed to the cap. The flexible strap and the cap form a loop to receive one or more fingers of a user's hand.
