Abstract
A holder for a portable device is disclosed. The holder has a housing and garment attachment clip. The housing retains the portable device using three retaining arms, leaving the top open so that the portable device can be removed and replaced easily without obstruction. Further, an opening through the back of the housing permits a prong on the garment attachment clip to cooperate with a protuberance on the portable device to maintain the portable device more securely in the holder. If desired, the protuberance may additionally bias the prong away from the surface of the holder. This facilitates placement of the holder on a garment or belt. The holder may be styled to cooperate with additional surface features of the portable device for a close fit with the device.
