Hang Gear Introduces A Revolutionary New Universal Cell Phone Holder Universal Phone Thong"

Unique Patent Pending Cell phone holder that works with virtually every cell phone and allows the user to clip his phone to virtually any object, pants, purse, car, boat, golf bag, stroller, etc.

(PRWEB) December 12, 2003 --Hang Gears efforts to revolutionize the cellular industry will be completed by their NEW patent pending Universal Phone Thong." The Universal Phone thong is the only cell phone holder that fits virtually every cell phone on the market.

This newly designed phone thong simply slips over your phone, including flips, and secures the phone in place. Their unique carabiner clip secures your phone to your pants, purse, backpack, golf bag, stroller, bike, car, or any other object you can think of.

With the new phone thong, you can show off your phone/faceplate while at the same time know that your phone wont fall to the ground no matter what your activity. The clear bands that wrap around your phone dont interfere with your calls or keypad nor will they slip or break. Just adjust these straps to fit your specific phone and off you go!

In the wireless industry, many retailers are struggling with which cell phone holder models to carry. There are too many phone styles and types to service them all well. The phone models also change so fast they are constantly battling the issue of closeout holders. This causes many retailers to only carry the holster style cases, which are neither secure nor convenient nor do they allow you to show off your phone.

The cellular market has also attracted many young consumers. Out of the 140 million cell phone users in the United States alone, 30% are teenagers -- a 40% increase in the market. Hang Gears Universal Phone Thong strongly appeals to this generation. These savvy consumers dont want leather cases nor do they want to cover up their fancy faceplates. The carabiner clip is also much more convenient for the on the go youth. All the cellular companies are trying to penetrate this market. This is quite apparent with Nokias N-Gage 3300 gaming/phone.

Mirroring sales trends in Europe, a report just published says the youth market accounts for the fastest growth in the US cellular phone marketplace. The study, entitled Look Whos in the Drivers Seat Now" from Cahners In-Stat, predicts that growth in the youth US wireless market will reach 43 million in 2004. By 2004, the $2,995 report predicts that half of US youth will own a wireless phone and nearly three out of four will use one.

The research also found that fashion-conscious teenagers are not happy with todays selection of gray and black plastic mobiles -- they want a variety of choices in shape, color, faceplate, and accessories. Interestingly, the report found that non-college attending youths from ages 18-24 will be the largest segment of the youth market in the next few years.

Hang Gear President Todd Condiff believes the Universal Phone Thong will be a huge success. This is one of those items that comes along every 5-10 years that can revolutionize an industry and I feel it will do that to the cellular industry -- this holder really works!"

The Universal Phone Thong will be introduced into the market place at the CES show in January 2004, booth # 22122 LVCC SO 3&4.
