Abstract

A means for holding fingers for use with a cell phone has a first and a second set of cut patterns made into a compliant resiliently deformable material are configured for modifying the material so as to form an arcuate shape allowing an intended user's fingers to engage the means for holding fingers. The first cutting is made by removing material so as to create two generally parallel and generally elliptical openings; the second cuttings are located on opposite ends of the finger holder and are created by removing material so as to form a pair of identical—in a mirror image fashion—semi-circular shapes.
