Abstract

Disclosed is a case or attachment device for use with an electronic device having a screen. The case has a base portion with a body having a back wall and side walls extending therefrom forming a receiving opening for receiving the electronic device. The case also includes a resilient band configured to hold one or more items (e.g., ID, credit cards, cash) against the case. The band may be pulled away from the body and items may be slid underneath the band so that they are held between an inner surface of the band and an outer surface of the body. The band may extend in a lateral, a longitudinal, or a diagonal direction. The band may also form a pocket for receiving items therein. The band can hold items against the back wall of the case.
