Abstract
A holding pouch apparatus worn on the palm of one's hand securing mobile tech devices to the palm side of the hand. People often hold their devices in their hands even when they have pockets or alternative ways to carry their technology with them. This holding pouch is fashionably designed to coordinate with the wardrobe and event by the user. The wearer can select the one right for their particular activity. Cell phones and other electronic devices are often easily broken, discarded and lost. To discourage the re-mining of materials from the Earth, this holder will help prevent the loss and damage to the tech devices and encourage materials sustainability.
