DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] As discussed above, embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a storage and mounting device and more particularly to a headrest cover holder system as used to improve the storage and mounting of a personal electronic device on a headrest.

[0017] Generally, the invention is a sleeve or headrest cover for a seat on a bus, train or airplane that holds a tablet or other electronic device. Passengers no longer have use a folding tray behind an aircraft seat to place their electronic device. The headrest cover holder system includes a leather/vinyl (or other suitable material for hygienic cleaning) sleeve that may be placed over the headrest. The device includes a padded cushion on a front side for additional comfort and relaxation for passengers. The headrest cover holder system provides hands free comfort for passengers and eliminated the need to share a folding tray with beverages/food. A user no longer needs to use one's lap/knees or hands as a placeholder for an electronic device. The device may be used with any type of BLUETOOTH device on buses, trains and airplanes with the folding tray acting as a desk/placeholder. Adjustable angle settings may be provided for various viewing. The device maintains full access to a screen, and all universal ports, speakers, microphones, cameras on an electronic device.
