Abstract
A carrying apparatus and method for a wireless device. The apparatus has a first mating portion coupled to a wireless device case and a second mating portion coupled to a personal item, such as a belt. The first and second mating portions are coupled to each other by the positioning of a magnet proximate the surface of at least one—and preferably both—of the first and second mating portions. Bringing the first and second mating portions into sufficient proximity causes them to be coupled, and permits the use of the apparatus for carrying. When the wireless device needs to be removed for use, a pulling action will separate the first and second mating portions.
