Abstract

In accordance with aspects of the present invention, a wrist band includes a first strap; a second strap; and a device mount coupled between the first strap and the second strap. The device mount can include a round receiver, a square receiver, a C-clasp mount, or a clasp mount. In some embodiments, the device mount can be included in a clasp. In some embodiments, the device mount can include a body mounted to a base and a cover coupled to the base wherein the body and the cover flex to allow a device to be inserted into the body.

Claims
