Abstract
A wearable caddy for a personal audio device (PAD) adapted to mount at least one PAD and store excess earphone cord. The caddy comprises a front plate and a back plate joined by a plate separating member that creates a space between the plates adapted to store the excess cod by spooling the excess cord around the separating member. The PAD is mounted to the front surface of the front plate using a double-sided adhesive pad. A clear self-adhesive plastic cover is placed over the face of the PAD. More than one pad may be mounted to the same caddy. The caddy clips to the belt of the wearer and can be used to store earphone cord or heavier head-set cord.
