A multi-purpose holster attaches to surfaces/objects, to retain an electronic device in a desirable position for hands-free use as a camera or video recorder. An elastic first strap extends transversely from a main body of the holster, wraps around the electronic device and fastens to itself to capture the device in portrait orientation. An elastic second strap extends parallel to the main body and around the electronic device, and fastens to the rear of the main body or to a portion of the first strap to capture the device in landscape orientation. The holster may include suction cup, loop and/or other suspension mechanisms to suspend the holster from the vertical surface of other object, and/or the first and second straps may be used to strap the holster to the surface/object.

A multi-purpose carrying pouch attaches to surfaces/objects, to retain an electronic device in a desirable position for hand-free use as a camera or video recorder. An upper bi-fold flap with integrated suction cup unfolds and extends upwards from a main body of the pouch. The main pouch compartment is opened/unzipped to allow the electronic device to be stored, or to be inserted in an upright position with both zipper-sliders moved to a central region along the zipper near the device to capture the device in portrait orientation. An elastic strap extends transversely from a zipper pocket formed in the pouch, wraps around the electronic device, and fastens to a lower bi-fold flap to capture the device in landscape orientation. The zipper pocket and strap may be located in various locations, for example, on the interior or exterior surface of the pouch.

A head mount device is worn by a person to retain an electronic device in a desirable position for hand-free use as a video recorder. A head strap assembly with tri-glide adjustment mechanisms extends from the sides and top of the main body mounting plate, allowing the device to fit most head sizes. The mounting plate is preferably an injection-molded part for holding the electronic device in a horizontal position with an elastic retention strap securing mechanism between the mounting plate and the electronic device. An elastic strap extends from an upending portion of the mounting plate, wraps around the electronic device, extends through a slot in the mounting plate, and fastens back upon itself via hook and loop fasteners to capture the device in landscape orientation. The design of the mounting plate and preferred length of the retention strap fit most modern smartphone designs by simply tightening the retention strap around the smartphone.

A mounting apparatus permits easy and quick attachment and removal of a portable electronic device to smooth surfaces for self-photos or videos, for example. A flat panel/card holds multiple, mini, double-sided suction cup units. One side of each cup unit may be connected to a portable electronic device such as a smart phone, or other lightweight digital media device with a smooth LCD or touch screen. The other side of each cup unit may be connected to a generally vertical surface or other object. The panel/card may be a single-layer plastic card with retention slots into which the double-sided suction cups are inserted. The panel/card may also function as a stored-value card, pre-paid gift card, or credit card incorporating bar codes, scratch-off codes, and magnetic strip features.

An injection molded mounting plate with removably attached suction cups, lower connector, and retention strap which securely hold an electronic device within a mounting system for action video recording. The mounting plate is preferably an injection-molded part with multiple suction cup slots to allow suction cups to be inserted therein for securing the electronic device in a horizontal position with an elastic retention strap securing mechanism to wrap around the mounting plate and the electronic device. An elastic strap extends from an upending portion of the mounting plate, extends through a slot in the mounting plate, wraps around the electronic device, and fastens back upon itself via hook and loop fasteners to capture the device. The design of the mounting plate and preferred length of the retention strap fit “most” smartphone designs. This universal mount can be affixed to a stationary object, or wearable in nature.

A mounting apparatus permits easy and quick attachment and removal of the apparatus securing a portable device to smooth surfaces, or objects. An injection molded platform which allows multiple suction cups to be attached to secure a portable electronic device such as a smart phone, cellular phone, tablet, e-reader, or other digital media device to a smooth surface, or object. The primary platform is an injection molded part specifically designed to accommodate the insertion of mini suction cups, small suction cups, and medium suction cups. The injection molded platform contains multiple openings specifically designed to allow the attachment of an array of suction cups, and alternative mechanisms including kickstand assembly, elastic straps or cording. It is a further object of the invention to provide a platform apparatus that can be attached to smooth surfaces for different sized devices with touch screen capabilities, and devices with camera and video functions.
