This
is what they are saying:
I live in
Maryland and my best friend lives in
Minnesota. After much prodding from me,
she finally started running a few years
ago. Now she is a running machine. She
runs out in busy areas, near schools and
parks. Never taking paths that are
questionable. Last night I got a frantic
phone call from her. She had been out
running and some guy had assaulted her.
She had the wits to kick him and run to
the nearest place to use the phone. After
the police came , she realized how stupid
it was that she did not run with her cell
phone all the time. If she had, she could
have gotten to the police a lot sooner. I
got online last night and tried to find a
wrist pouch like I have seen before to
send to her. Instead, I found this
product. I think it will be easier for her
to flip open her phone than to unzip and
pull out her phone. I'm hoping this
product will make her feel a little safer,
so she will not stop running.
Thanks,
Cristina, Maryland
Horseback
Riding: I am an avid horseback
rider and I take my cell for
emergencies. A phone in a saddle bag
isn't much use when the horse is running
away. My phone has fallen a couple of
times, so I was thrilled when I found
your web site. Thank you.

Concerned
Parent: I actually was searching
the web for a cellphone armband, similar
to the ipod armband and came across your
website. As I have teens who are
runners, my concern has been, as most
parents, their safety. It seemed
silly for them to have cell phones and
not be able to comfortably carry them as
they run on average 4-5 miles/day.
Sometimes they run in groups, but there
are many times, my girls run by
themselves. I truly appreciate the
hold-a-phone concept, and hope my girls
will use them as well. …Debbie

Workplace
Safety Coordinator: As our
company's Safety Coordinator, I need to
have my cell phone available at all
times. Being female, I don't
always have a pocket or belt to attach
it to. Hopefully, your product
will solve this problem. I also do a
significant amount of horseback riding
and would rather have the phone attached
to me instead of the horse….Joanne,

Events
Manager: I saw it in Health
magazine and thought it was great!
I am an events manager for a large
company and am constantly running
around. I despise the clip holders
for the cell phones because they are too
bulky (and not very attractive). I
saw this and thought it looks fun, as
well as being practical. I ordered
one for my assistant, too. We have
a large event on Wednesday-Friday and
this product would come in handy!

Runner:
I read about the Hold-A-Phone in
Runner's World magazine. I ordered two -
one for myself and one for a friend. I
got my package yesterday and went out
for a run with it right away. It worked
out great! I had it on my wrist, and
though it might take a little while to
get used to the weight there, the phone
was always very secure and I soon
realized I didn't have to worry about it
flying out of the holder at all!
I've been
looking for a way to take my phone when
I run - my friend who I bought the other
holder for goes as far as wrapping
plastic around her phone and putting it
in her sports bra! Hopefully she'll find
this easier to use! … Carolyn,
Portland, OR
"One
of the police detectives that I office
with is a serious runner. He brought
his Runners World magazine to the
office to read. I commented that I
never have a place to clip my phone
and he showed me the article in the
magazine. We convinced each other that
this was our answer!
I work for the FBI and we are always
on the run. I have lost my phone
numerous times, due to my lack of
pockets......Linda, TX
I
saw it featured in Health magazine. I
purchased it due to a recent assault
while I was out running & I want
to continue running but be safer.
thanks,......Jennifer, KS
Originally,
my wife saw the item in Health
Magazine. We run frequently and
because of our schedules, we are not
always able to run together. The
Hold-a-Phone seems like a great way to
insure that we can always reach one
another. This helps to insure our
safety and our availability in the
case of an emergency. Also, while I
prefer to run in urban areas, my wife
prefers to run trails through the
woods. The Hold-a-Phone will provide
her with a way to get help if she were
to twist an ankle or hurt herself so
that she could not get back down the
trail. This product helps put my mind
at ease that my wife and I will be
safer while running and
exercising......Adam, NJ
"My
niece and me finished running the LA
marathon yesterday......
when I discovered this interesting
'thing' on her wrist. She showed me her
'hold-a-phone' which she purchased @ the
LA Marathon Expo. She said that her 26.2
mile run was completely hassle-free
because she was able to have her cell
phone for her family to call her as to
her location, and completely forgot that
she was even wearing it because of its
light weight and style.....comfortable
and non-irritating.....Sooooo....I
purchased two-one for me and one for a
friend. I'll let you know how I like it
as well." Best,......Ruth, CA
Physically
Challenged:
My husband is confined to a power
wheelchair and only has limited use of
his right hand (his left hand and arm are
immobile). We strap the Hold-a-Phone™
to his left wrist above his wristwatch.
This enables him to make and receive calls
using only his right hand and a Bluetooth
wireless earpiece. Without the
Hold-a-Phone™, someone has to dial the
phone for him. The Hold-a-Phone™
greatly adds to his independence and sense
of security. We love it!...Kate,
FL
I
started walking about 8 months ago.
I look forward to getting up every morning
bright and early @ 5:30 a.m. Well,
ok, maybe it's not so bright yet; but I
am! I walk around my block twice,
which is the equivalent of 1.8 miles.
I live in a very nice, middle class,
sub-division. Well, some homeless
people have come to think that they too
should live in such a nice development, so
they've set up homesteads behind some
heavy shrubbery we have in front on a
delineation concrete fence here. So
far, there has been no trouble, but since
I walk alone every morning, I decided to
take my cell phone with me - just in case.
It's very difficult, not to mention,
uncomfortable, to walk or jog with a cell
phone dangling off your hip. When I
saw a write-up about "Safety Tips
While You Walk" which included your
Hold-a-Phone™, I had to purchase one
right away. Once I'm able to secure
my phone to my wrist, while still having
the option of using the phone, I'll feel
much more at ease. I'll be able to
concentrate more on my walking pace, and
not so much on my "visiting
neighbors". Thanks for offering
this product. Loretta, Florida
My
husband and I have recently started to
exercise by power walking and jogging,
A friend of mine came over and had a cell
phone holder for the wrist which is called
T-String we thought that it was the best
invention ever. We all decided to go for a
jog, my husband and I left our phones home
because of the hassle, and she took hers
along with her strapped onto her T-String.
In the midst of us jogging we hear her
scream just as her phone flies off of her
wrist and a truck runs it over. The
T-String wasn't as secure as we thought;
there was nothing really to secure the
phone while jogging because it was a flip
phone. I immediately came home and
got online and searched for a secure cell
phone holder for the wrist. I was
directed to your site and I got up this
morning and ordered the hold a phone.
I've told my job and everyone in my gym
about it (I didn't think you'd mind).
I love the fact that it's made to secure a
flip phone as well as a regular cell
phone. This will be such a great
help. Shakeema, NY
Naval
Officer: I purchased
the Hold-a-Phone™ because as part of my
exercise routine, I like to run. I just
ran this morning and had to hold my phone
in my sweaty hand. It was not very
practical when trying to run and
concentrate on time. I see this product as
being a good safety device. I was running
one day and two pickup trucks full of men
started harassing me and shouting racial
slurs. I did not have my cell phone, which
terrified me when I thought about these
trucks possibly following me or stopping
to do me harm.
I am also a naval officer in the reserves.
I am in charge of the fitness program and
I have to have a cell phone on hand in
case of emergencies. This will make my job
a bit easier since I have to hold a
clipboard to document each person's
progress. I am excited about your product!
Trina, AZ
Landscaping:
I wear it everywhere - I could have sold
this a million times over!! I love it and
get many compliments. I will be sure to
tell people where to get one. Thanks
again, Gillian, HI
I saw a
woman wearing her phone on her wrist at
the dog groomer's when I went to pick up
my pet. I have 3 little kids and
just thought it would be an easy way to
have my hands free/phone easily accessible
at the same time. Plus, I think it
looks cool!!! I asked her where she
purchased it and she told me online/at
your sight. Your products are great. Trudy,
HI
I
take my cell phone w/me on walks. I
walk several times a day and am prone to
falling. I like to take my cell
phone so that if I fall, hurt myself,
etc., I'm able to call for help.
Trying to clip my phone onto my shorts is
uncomfortable and the phone is really too
heavy for the thinner walking shorts.
When I saw the ad in Fitness, I knew right
away that I had to order one!
CARLA,
San Diego
Weight
Watchers: I'm a lifetime
member of WW (Weight Watchers)
and still attend meetings at work. I'll
use the phone holder mainly when I run,
but probably when working in the yard, too
(not as often as I run). I ran my first
marathon last March in Central Park, NYC
and carried my cell phone in a fanny pack.
Friends who came to cheer would call and
check with me from time to time to see
where I was on the course. Unfortunately I
wasn't able to feel the phone vibrate
through the fanny pack and missed their
calls. I believe this problem will be
solved with the arm band holder. At least
I should be able to hear the ringer. Now
I'm training for another marathon and will
carry my phone on my longer training runs,
as well as in the marathon. Today it was
so hot that I wimped out after running 60
minutes. I was about 6 miles from home -
it would've been nice to have had my phone
with me. Since I didn't, I had to walk
home
Patricia,

Equestrian:
I recently read an article in our local
equestrian magazine about an armband cell
phone holder. The article highlights
new products that are beneficial to the
equestrian community. For safety
reasons as well as the high probability of
losing your cell phone while riding makes
your product a great idea for horseback
riding. They didn't list your
company specifically so I just did a
search on yahoo for armband cell phone
holder and up you popped! Donnie,
VA
I
read an article in our local newspaper
about exercise gear. It originally
appeared in the Pittsburgh post-gazette
and was written by Pohla Smith. The
Hold-a-Phone™ was listed with the price,
web site and phone. Now that the spring
and summer weather are here, I will walk
in our county parks and wanted some way to
contact someone if I had a problem and no
one else was around. A friend fell
in a state park and broke her leg.
Fortunately she was with someone, but
usually she walks alone. The
Hold-a-Phone™ would be convenient to
keep the hands and arms free to move and
not be burdened with a pack especially on
shorter walks.
Cheryl, IL
In some
cases, I wear a dress and can't clip it to
my waist. Funny...just the other
day, I was at the gym on the tread mill
with my cell phone clipped to the waist of
my logging pants, I got a call, dropped
the phone, bent down to pick it up, fell
and skinned my knees...if I had a
Hold-a-Phone™, I would have saved my
knees. :o) Robin, MD
I run in
the woods alone and thought it might be
smart to take my cell phone with me in
case I get hurt and need to call someone
for help. I can't wait to get it and
try it out!!!
Leslie, MI
I heard
about the Hold-a-Phone™ in Air Tran
magazine. It's perfect for my wife,
as she's a runner, and I want her holding
her mace, and yet have accessibility to
her phone.Thanks!
Gary
I saw
the Hold-a-Phone™ in Fitness magazine...
I am training for a marathon, and I
brought my phone during the last one I ran
and my shorts keep slipping down cause of
all the weight with my phone, tons of
power gel and my disposable camera... So
this will come in very handy! Just
another one of those ideas I wish I would
have come up with!
Jules, MO
I found
the information about Hold-a-Phone™ by
searching the web. I purchased the
Hold-a-Phone™ because I rollerblade
and bike frequently.
Rollerblading with a cell phone in your
shorts/pants pocket is extremely
uncomfortable. Also, it is such an
inconvenience to clip the cell phone onto
your waistband and worry about it falling
off or becoming soaked with sweat. I
purchased the Hold-a-Phone™ armband
thinking that it would work just the same
as my mp3 player armband does. After
my first time out with it, it has lived up
to my expectations! I can even feel
the vibration on my arm and not miss a
call when I am listening to music as I
exercise. Thanks for offering this
great product!
Lori
I know
that runners on the hike and bike trail
here will ask about it. My husband
is an army Special Forces soldier and I
will ask him if he wants one when he comes
home on leave. I have a feeling that
he and his Special forces buddies will
order some.
Tania, TX
I read
about your product in Fitness magazine. My
husband mountain bikes alone and doesn't
want to put his phone in his pack to
bounce around but he needs to carry it to
be able to call if he has trouble. I
rollerblade alone and would like to carry
a phone for safety purposes. This looks
like a wonderful product and I look
forward to receiving it.
Dena, NH
I found
the product in a fitness magazine and have
been waiting for something like
this...I’m an avid fitness/workout
person and included in that is
walking/running for about 5 miles...I
always carry my cell for safety but it
really is a pain...not only do my hands
cramp up.... I can’t use my arms like I
should be.... so when I saw this I jumped
right on it.
Anne, FL
Physician:
I heard about Hold a Phone from Shape
magazine. I'm ordering it because
I'm a physician and take call from home.
I like to go running, but when I'm on call
that means bringing a pager and a cell
phone. I'm hoping this will make it
a bit less cumbersome. Thanks.
Cathleen, OH
Coach:
I coach my daughters travel soccer team
and I receive a lot of calls from the
parents during practice or the game. The
phone is a problem if I don't have pockets
or a belt. I hope this will be a better
way for me to hold the phone.
Ken, NJ
My wife
gave me the article from Fitness magazine.
We both run and bike and have not found a
convenient way to carry a phone. We
are both concerned about safety. In
addition, we need to be accessible when we
are out on the road, and neither a fanny
pack nor saddle pack worked for us.
Hold-a-Phone™'s price attracted us to
try it because it appears that it will
serve our purpose.
Kurt & Katherine, MO
I
thought this would be handy to have when I
am using my jogging stroller, or at
the gym and my baby is at daycare. I
like to keep my phone handy when he is at
school and I am not around my phone at
work. I also got one for my mother
to use when she is gardening and walking
so we can make sure she is safe and
another for my husband who constantly
loses his phone and has to call the number
to find out where it is.
Candy, MS
I saw an
article for the hold a phone in my
"Fitness" magazine and thought
it was a great idea! I run on a
regular basis and also go rollerblading
during the summer. Any time I do
not have pockets on my pants I will use it
even if it is just hanging out with
friends.
Chrisy, MI
Extensive
browsing of the Internet brought me to
your web site. I, as a woman, was
looking for a phone case that didn't sit
at the waist – being somewhat curvy
those darn holster clips stick me there.
Also was looking for something that wasn't
dependent on a belt to be carried. I
had seen only two choices for me which
were some tacky "phone thong"
worn around the waist, and some phone bags
to be worn across the body. Neither of
these suited me as they were tackily
obvious and couldn't be worn with
discretion and/or did not allow easy
access to the phone and viewing of the
screen. The design of the
Hold-a-Phone™ will allow me to wear the
phone as though it was just another part
of clothing, allows for easy access and
comfort of wear. (It looks cool too)
Susan, MI
Construction:
I've been searching for a good way to
carry my cell phone on construction
sites, traversing between bldgs (4), walking
the dog, take to Pilates, etc. Etc.
I saw the Hold-a-Phone™ advertised in a
magazine. It seemed like the female
answer to " how to hold the cell
phone when you don't wear a belt &
have to hang on to drawings, etc"
dilemma!
Nancy, NJ
I think
this product is unique. I have been
looking for something like this for years.
I use it when I go for walks and I use it
at work. I have to have my cell with me
all the time for work, I support a trading
desk and they need immediate response. So
if I am wearing a skirt or a dress its
hard with the traditional holders because
with a skirt it pulls at my skirt and if I
wear a dress there is no place to put the
traditional holder. This has been
extremely helpful.
Angela, CA
We run
and walk or if working or playing outside
we don't have belts on our casual shorts
to carry the phones so these phone holders
will be ideal. This is especially
important for us as we have young children
that we may leave with a baby sitter when
jogging and the need to get a hold of us
by phone is critical.

Run/Bike/Walk/Exercise
“…I
purchased it mostly for safety
reasons when exercising
outdoors.....
I live in Ohio and winter is finally
coming to an end, so I will soon be running
and biking outdoors again...which I do
alone. In the past, I've had
several instances both running and/or
biking when people in passing cars have
thrown things at me, slapped my back while
driving by and swerved towards me
"pretending" they are going to
hit me. I also had an instance where one
particular man (that I didn't know)
continuously drove past me and followed me
throughout my run....I finally stopped at
a strangers house and asked to use a phone
to call my husband to pick me up. If
I had a phone on me, I would have called
the police.”
”All of these instances were
frightening...I've tried carrying a cell
phone in my hand, but that doesn't work
and the clips just don't hold them
securely when running...the phone bouncing
up and down drove me crazy. I do put a
phone in the pouch on my bike...but to get
to it, I have to get off the bike, unzip
the pouch....well you get the
picture...not exactly "emergency
friendly". Your product would allow
quick and easy access and it looks like it
lays flat and secure. Good luck!”
Christine, OH
“My
sister and I run very early (4:30
a.m.) in the mornings and got them for
safety reasons. We each walk
from our own houses to meet and would feel
much safer if we could easily take our
phones with us. We can't wait to try
them! Thanks!”
Karla, NE
“I
ordered one to take when my husband and I
run. I love it! I have always wondered
what would happen if we were far from home
and one of us fell?? Now I know that I
could easily call for help. Also, in the
past I experienced a pretty severe
allergic reaction after running. The allergist
I saw recommended that I always have a
cell phone with me when I exercise.
Your hold a phone is much easier than
holding my phone in my hand while I run!
The order I just placed is for my sister
who is frequently gone on long walks with
her dog. I might also order one for my mom
who takes lots of long walk alone!! Your
hold a phone is a great thing to have.”

“When
the weather warms up I want to start
running in the morning before work but I
know my husband would worry about me, so I
thought this would be perfect. I ordered
one for my husband as well. We go to
the park and go hiking quite a bit
and now we won't have to worry about
carrying the phone with us. We also
have three active young boys so this will
make taking them to the park and playing
sports SO much easier. I'm so glad I
found your website!”
Lorraine, Ohio
“I
will be training for a marathon
soon so I ordered two Hold-a-Phone™s,
one for me and one for my running buddy. I
think this will be a great way for us to
keep in touch on long runs if we are
running at different paces, and solve the
on going problem of how to run with
our cell phones! Looking forward
to testing them out!”
Michele, NY
“I
purchased the Hold a Phone for my flip
phone for no other reason than for the
convenience of not having to hold it
while running. Over the holidays
while visiting my sister, I wanted to go
for a run in her neighborhood. I asked her
if I could borrow a sweatshirt with front
pockets to put my cell phone in. I started
to run with the cell phone in the pocket
and naturally the phone fell out so I held
the phone in my hand for the rest of my
40-minute run. It was very unnatural to
have one hand closed in order to hold the
cell phone while running”
Lalaine Labio, MI
“I
used my Hold a Phone today and love it! I always
take a cell phone with me when I run.
I usually have my cell phone in one hand
and the dogs leash in another, makes my
running off balance. Today I put the hold
a phone on my wrist and freed up a hand
and it felt great! I have tried attaching
my cell phone to my running tights using
the belt clip, and what a joke, my phone
would jiggle all over the place and
eventually fall off. I will use my
Hold a Phone when I run, walk, hike, bike
and any other out door activities. It is
so nice to be able to free up a hand while
doing these activities.”
Mary, CO
”I
intend to use your product for my a.m. (4:00a.m.
to be precise) runs in the park.
Yes, safety reasons. I need something to
keep the phone dry and secure as well as
accessible during my runs”
Laurie, MI
”It
looked like an easy way to carry a phone,
especially while at a gym.
Cell phones that clip on to something have
a way of falling off or getting in the
way. This one appears more convenient. I
saw the review in the March issue of
Fitness Magazine.”
Teresa, NY
“I
read about it and got the web address in
Fitness Magazine. I purchased it not
only for safety reasons, but for the convenience
of not missing any important phone calls
when I'm out on long walks or training at
the gym. Now I don't have to
worry about my phone falling out of my
pocket.”
Tara Wake, CA
“I
think this is a terrific idea. My
husband trains for marathons
and he is out all the time. He has
been taking his phone in a CD case but it
sits on his back where it is tough to
reach. I saw the article in the
March 2004 issue of Fitness magazine and
had to buy one (actually I ended up buying
three!) One for me when we are all
out on the golf course and I do not have
pockets and one for my father who
holds his phone in his hands when he is
walking. GREAT idea!
Thanks!”
Lynn, MA
“… I
am a runner and plan to use while running
alone. I am also running a
couple of marathons later this year, so I
want to be able to have my phone with me
to call my husband when I am getting
close to the finish line.
Last time he missed me and my friends
coming in for the photo finish. I
told some girls in my running group about
it tonight. Hope it works. I got a green
one to match my car.”
Cathy, AR
”The
reason I purchased your product is because
my husband and I are active outdoors
- running, kayaking, and hiking. We
carry a phone for security/emergency
reasons. Currently the only
option we have of securing the phone is
with a plastic clip holder at the waist.
The plastic holder does not protect the
phone from the elements, does not prevent
the phone from "bobbing" while
running/hiking, does not secure the phone
enough during the activities, and does not
provide a pocket for keys/money. I
am anxious to see how well your product
holds up to our active lifestyle.
Melissa, OH
“I saw
the bit about the holder in Fitness
Magazine. I skate on a riverbed
trail with a friend of mine. We
skate anywhere from five miles to
twenty-five at a time, when we're
training for a marathon.
We've often said that we need a way to
carry a phone in case of emergency. We're loaded
down with protective gear, so this should
be the hands free way to give us peace of
mind.”
Karen, CA
Gift
for the boss: I heard
of Hold-a-Phone™ in Fitness magazine. I
thought it was a great idea. I bought it
for a doctor who runs and has to do call
so he needs his phone with him at all
times.... even while working out! I am
thinking of getting my own after I see the
product because I do a lot of biking and
walk my dog a lot and it would be great to
have my phone handy but not in my hand.
Dawn, NY
“I
read about hold a phone from the Air Tran
Magazine. I actually am purchasing it for
my boss, he is an ophthalmologist with an
active lifestyle. He is also a
cyclist. Sometimes he even rides
on his lunch break. I know the phone can
be a hassle so I thought he would
appreciate it.”
Patricia, VA
“I
thought it would be great for when
I'm out exercising. A friend of
mine slid on a patch of ice while walking
her dog and broke her leg. Thankfully
she had her cell phone with her.
I've since been more aware and take my
cell phone when I exercise, but it was
kind of burdensome. With your device, it
should be less cumbersome.”
Janice, VA
EXPECTANT
MOTHER: “I saw the
neoprene 'Hold-a-Phone™' in Fitness
Magazine (March 2004). I run early
every morning (5am) and I'm also now
6 months pregnant. I don't
like to hold on to anything when I run,
but now feel it would be a good idea to
have my cell phone handy for safety
reasons in the winter darkness, and
especially as I get further along in my
pregnancy. Now my phone is with me
while still leaving my hands free!
It will also be great for afternoon walks
after my baby is born.”

EXPECTANT
MOTHER: “My daughter
is pregnant and was recently followed by a
strange man while walking her two small
dogs. Another man came by
in a car and told her he was watching the
guy and had called the police, but that
made her very nervous. I read about the
Hold-a-Phone™ in Fitness Magazine and
decided to order one so she can easily
take her cell phone with her when she
walks, especially after the baby is born.
Sounds like a great idea!”
Jacqueline, NC February 2, 2004
“I
just received the new Hold-a-Phone™. I
was not sure it would work because of the
long life battery on the v-60 it is more
than twice the thickness of the regular
Motorola battery. My wife jogs every
morning and her phone will not stay in the
pockets of her shorts. Now she is
very secure and safe knowing her phone is
safely secured to her arm. Thank you.”
Jim, TX
“My
husband always yells at me because I never
answer my phone. I cannot
hear it ring when it is in my purse, and I
don't like it clipped to my belt, so I
thought I would try this out.
Everyone has a cell phone now-a-days, so I
will be sure to show it off and maybe get
you some more business.”
Rachelle, NM
”I
have a very small cell phone and it gets
lost easily. Right now I keep it in a tiny
pocket book that is attached to my key
chain, but I don't carry my key chain
outdoors at home, to exercise and around
the house, so that system does not help me
when I am moving about the house and can't
hear my cell phone, or when I want to
exercise or play outside with my children.
The Hold-a-Phone™ is perfect for me to
keep track of my cell phone and have it
next to me at all times. I am a
counselor and have three children, so I
want my patients and my children to be
able to reach me 24/7 by cell phone
The
problem for me is that I rarely wear
clothes with pockets to put my cell phone
in, and I don't like the way cell phones
look clipped onto my skirt or pants.
(Sorry to be so vein, but it ruins my
tailored look.) I kept threatening
to get a watchstrap and Velcro my cell
phone onto my wrist. And I have
looked for a product like yours for a
while. Then wella! I opened Fitness
Magazine and saw the Hold-a-Phone™.
Yeah!! An answer to my prayers. I am very
excited to get it and I know that I will
have it on my wrist for the majority of
each day. Thank you so much Jim, for your
innovative concept. And I will be happy to
write again after I receive it so that I
can give you feedback on the product. I
wish you the very best, and I KNOW that
you can sell this in many places.
Particularly at cell phone centers. People
want your product.”

”I
ordered the Hold-a-Phone™ for my
daughter's (30th) Birthday she called me
and told me that she had found it on the
net and would like that as part of her
gift since I had asked her for some
general idea of what she wanted. I know
she wanted it to use while she walks
to have her hands free and the phone still
be handy and safe as well.”

WHAT
REALTORS ARE SAYING:
I heard
about you from a Realtor chat line.
I have been using your wrist carrier ever
since I got it. I'm a Realtor and
hate to dig through my pocket book when
the phone rings, looking for the doggone
thing and missing phone calls. Now
it's always handy. People have seen
it and remarked on it.

I lurk
on the RealTalk and e-PROTalk forums. I've
wanted the "Hold-a-Phone™"
since 1Q this year, but just never got
around to ordering it. I run/jog about 3-4
miles a day (just returned from my run, as
a matter of fact), so I know I'm going to
love having it for when I exercise. Plus,
when showing houses...over the years I've
dropped my phone in many pools and on
concrete driveways....it falls out of my
pockets, or gets lost at the bottom of my
purse. I don't have a belt clip because I
rarely wear clothes with waistbands
(mostly dresses). The "Hold-a-Phone™"
will really come in handy! Thanks for
coming up with such a cool idea!

I heard
about it on e-pro talk list service and am
anxious to see how it works. I don't
take my cell phone to the gym as that is
my time to myself. I want to use it
for shopping, running errands instead of
searching in my purse when it rings.
To show property, I use something else
because I have other things to carry with
me.

I am a
realtor and usually have my hands full
with listing sheets, pda to open the
lockbox, briefcase etc. I ordered the
Hold-a-Phone™, because I have been
leaving my phone in the car during
showings of homes to my clients. With the
Hold-a-Phone™, I won't be missing my
calls and messages, because it will once
again be with me when I need it.
Jenny, Arizona
“I am
a REALTOR and it was mentioned by some
REALTORS on my e-PRO site from the Ozarks.
…I thought the phone would be good to
have with me while I show property.
I never want to miss a call and it will be
a good safety device also. If I like
it you may receive other orders from the
girls in our office.”

“I am
a Realtor so always have to carry my cell
phone and sometimes I have no pockets and
I do not want to carry a briefcase or
purse in every house I show. This looks
like it might help. I heard about it from
my Realtor newsgroup (E-Pro Talk). “

“After
hearing about the Hold-a-Phone™ on a
thread conversation on e-Pro talk, (a
group of Realtors who are internet savvy)
I had to visit your site to see just what
this device was all about. It seemed that
it would make my business of showing
properties a little easier. I must
carry with me into a home I am viewing
with my clients, my cell phone, and lock
box key for opening the home, business
cards, and pen and information sheets on
the home. This assortment of paraphernalia
means I am juggling all these items along
with some others not mentioned. Seeing the
Hold-a-Phone™ and how it works for hands
free carrying made me rush out to order
it. I now have it in my possession and
will be anxious to give it a try. I
already see the convenience when shopping
personally or when exercising. Thank you
for thinking of my active life when you
put this little device together.”

“After
Marilyn telling me how handy she found the
Hold-a-Phone™ I got for her I thought I
should try one too. I can report after
about a week of using it that she is
absolutely correct. A very
convenient way to carry and use a cell
phone. Man, don't you just hate it
when women are right?
:-) Now she is going to try hers with the
Nokia over the ear headset.”

Walking
the dog: I heard
about Hold-a-Phone™ from an article in
Fitness magazine. I purchased it because I
walk daily with my dog and always carry my
cell phone for safety reasons. I have a
case for my cell but because the case does
not attach to anything I end up putting my
cell in my pocket or if I don't have a
pocket I end up holding it in my hand the
entire walk. Hold-a-Phone™ sounded like
a great solution. I also go hiking often
so I need a convenient way to carry the
essentials.
Shelley, CA
“Whew!
My Nokia phone will fit! I actually
saw it in the March issue of Fitness
Magazine while I went for a checkup at the
doctor's office. Thought it was a
fabulous idea! I take my dog
for long walks and sometimes I don't have
pockets available. Or if I
have pockets, sometimes they really don't
accommodate a cell phone. So this is
perfect for me. I also bought one
for my boyfriend who's outdoorsy.
I'm thinking that this would also be good
gifts for my girl friends who work out.
Can't wait to receive it!” Lisa,
TX
”Often
times I am walking alone with my dog
and having my cell phone with me makes me
feel more comfortable. Before the
Hold-a-Phone™ I would have to carry it
or put it in my pocket. The Hold-a-Phone™
is perfect, once it's on you barely feel
it and it is secure.”
Teresa, MA
It seems
that I'm getting more and more inquiries
about my use of your Hold-a-Phone, from
folks not involved in the running
community...or in exercise at all. I
find the Hold-a-Phone extremely useful
in my position as a photojournalist. It
keeps my cellphone easily accessible.
Plus, by setting the phone to vibrate, I
never miss a call because I'm in a noisy
environment. My daughter should have had
a Hold-a-Phone during a recent climb of
Mount Washington in New Hampshire. But
she didn't. Her cellphone now is
"somewhere on the mountain"
along with the phone numbers of her
entire circle of friends. I've just
ordered a Hold-a-Phone to give her as a
birthday present. I've referred a number
of people to your website, since retail
distribution is so limited. (Makes me
wonder: Should I buy a couple dozen
units and just have 'em handy? ;-> )
