Abstract

The present invention provides secure storage while at the same time providing useable access to the typical touch functions of a smart phone. By combining the use of materials that allow the smart phone touch screen to work while in a storage pocket and enabling the pocket to be securely closed on all sides when attached to a commercial product, the present invention provides fingertip access to all smart phone functionality while proving secure storage.

Claims

1. A smart phone pocket, comprising,

a transparent top selected from the group consisting of organza, other transparent fabrics, and thin plastic films, all of which providing touch transmissions to the screens of smart phones that underlying them, the transparent top being bound about its entire periphery by a fabric that has attached on its back side a closure system about the entire periphery of the transparent top;

and

a bottom base selected from the group consisting of a fabric and a product substrate upon which secure smart phone access is desired, and attached to the bottom base is a matching closure system to that present on the transparent top whereby when the transparent top is overlaid flat and pressed against the bottom base, they are removably interlocked about their entire peripheries, but with the closure system allowing wires associated with smart phones placed under the transparent top to pass through the interlock.

2. A smart phone pocket, comprising,

a transparent top selected from a single layer selected from group consisting of organza, other transparent fabrics, and a thin plastic film, all of which providing touch transmissions to the screens of smart phones that underlying them, the transparent top being bound about its entire periphery by fabric that has attached on its back side a closure system on just two opposing sides of the periphery of the transparent top;

and

a bottom base selected from the group consisting of a pillowcase and a product substrate upon which secure smart phone access is desired, with the two opposing sides of the transparent top without a closure system thereon being permanently attached to the bottom base, and bottom base having a matching closure system to that present on the transparent top correspondingly placed whereby when the transparent top is overlaid flat and pressed against the bottom base, they are removably interlocked only where they have corresponding closure systems, but with the closure systems allowing wires associated with smart phones placed under the transparent top to pass through the interlock.

3. A smart phone pocket, comprising,

a transparent top of two overlapping thin plastic films, with one of the plastic films being slightly short than the other, and with the longer piece of plastic film being on top of the shorter piece of plastic film, with each plastic film providing touch transmissions to the screens of smart phones that underlying them, and with the transparent top being bound with fabric and fastened together about its periphery where the plastic films overlay each other exactly, with a closure system applied to the back side of the transparent top where it has been bound, but not where the overlaying plastic films are of different sizes, each of which mismatched sides being are separately bound with fabric with a closure system applied to the backside of each whereby each of the two layers has parallel closure system across their mismatches edges that are faced downwardly;

and

a bottom base selected from the group consisting of a beach towel and other water prone substrates having a matching patterned closure system to that of the transparent except at that portion of the bottom base corresponding to the mismatched sides of the transparent top at which point the matching closure system on the bottom base will be wide enough to accept the two parallel closure systems on the two mismatched sides of the transparent top whereby when the transparent top is overlaid flat and pressed against the bottom base, they are removably interlocked about the periphery of the transparent top, but with the only opening to the interior of the two overlapping thin plastic films joined together to form the transparent top being where the longer of the two plastic films slightly overlays the shorter of the two plastic films, with their closure systems removably interlocking the opening to the transparent top, and allow wires associated with smart phones placed under the transparent top to pass through the interlock.

4. A smart phone pocket, comprising,

a transparent top selected from a single layer selected from group consisting of organza, other transparent fabrics, and a thin plastic film, all of which providing touch transmissions to the screens of smart phones that underlying them, the transparent top being bound about its entire periphery by fabric that is affixed on three of its four sides directly to a bottom base selected from the group consisting of a U-shaped travel pillow, and another product substrate upon which secure smart phone access is desired, with unattached sides of the transparent top and bottom base having matching systems, whereby when the unattached sides of the transparent top and bottom base are overlaid one on the other, they are removably interlocked by their corresponding closure systems, with the closure systems allowing wires associated with smart phones placed under the transparent top to pass through the interlock.

5. A smart phone pocket, comprising,

a transparent top of two overlapping plastic films, with one of the plastic films being slightly short than the other, and with the longer piece of plastic film being on top of the shorter piece of plastic film, with this longer plastic film being thin and providing touch transmissions to the screens of smart phones that underlying it, with the shorter film not requiring transparency, and with the transparent top being bound with fabric and fastened together about its periphery where the plastic films overlay each other exactly, with a closure system applied to the back side of the transparent top where it has been bound at its two lowest corners, but not where the overlaying plastic films are of different sizes, each of which mismatched sides being are separately bound with fabric with a closure system applied to the backside of each whereby each of the two overlapping mismatched layers having parallel closure system across their mismatches edges that are faced downwardly;

and

a bottom base selected from the group consisting of an apron and other substrates having a matching patterned closure system to that of the transparent except at that portion of the bottom base corresponding to the mismatched sides of the transparent top at which point the matching closure system on the bottom base will be wide enough to accept the two parallel closure systems on the two mismatched sides of the transparent top whereby when the transparent top is overlaid flat and pressed against the bottom base, they are removably interlocked only minimally at the lowest two corners of the transparent top and then more substantially across the top of the transparent top, but with the only opening to the interior of the two overlapping plastic films joined together to form the transparent top being where the longer of the two plastic films slightly overlays the shorter of the two plastic films, with their closure systems removably interlocking the opening to the transparent top, but allows wires associated with smart phones placed within the transparent top to pass through the interlock.

6. A smart phone pocket, comprising,

a rectangular transparent top selected from the group consisting of organza, other transparent fabrics, and thin plastic films, all of which providing touch transmissions to the screens of smart phones underlying them, the transparent top being bound about its entire periphery by a fabric that has attached on its back side a closure system about just two contiguous sides forming L-shape on the back side of the transparent top;

and

a bottom base selected from the group consisting of a golf bag towel and a another product substrate upon which secure smart phone access is desired, and attached to the bottom base is a matching closure system to that present on the transparent top whereby when the transparent top is overlaid flat and pressed against the bottom base, they are removably interlocked in an L-shape, the closure systems allowing wires associated with smart phones placed under the transparent top to pass through the interlock, and with the remainder of the transparent top periphery being directly attached to the bottom base.
