Claims

1. A storage cord comprising

a support structure for removably mounting an electronic device on an individual,

a housing secured to said support structure, said housing including a spool, and said spool having an extendable and retractable wire rotatably mounted on the spool, said wire having two ends with one of said two ends including at least one ear phone, said one end of said two ends being secured to said housing, the other of said two ends including a connector,

said housing being adapted for receiving and retaining the electronic device in a releasable manner,

said connector being located adjacent to said housing and adapted to connect with the electronic device located in said housing so that the electronic device is removable from the housing while simultaneously the connector is secured to the electronic device and to the extendable and retractable wire,

said at least one ear phone remaining approximately in place when said other end of said extendable and retractable wire, including said connector and the electronic device, is extended.

2. The storage cord according to claim 1, wherein the housing includes at least one of a frame and an anchoring system adapted to secure the electronic device.

3. The storage cord according to claim 1, wherein the support structure includes at least one of a hook and loop surface, sleeve, magnet, clip, pin, adhesive surface, and button.
