ABSTRACT:
A holder for a handless wireless communication device has triggering means at more than one location interacting with detecting means in the handheld wireless communication device for the handheld wireless communication device to detect whether or not it is present in the holder in any one of several possible orientations therein. The location of each of the triggering means corresponds to a different one of the possible orientations. In a more specific aspect of the invention, magnets are installed in the holder at more than one location, each location corresponding to a location sufficiently close to the detecting means, for example a proximity switch, in one of several orientations of the device in the holder. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the holder has outer and inner panels, and there is one magnet in the outer panel and one magnet in the inner panel, so that a proximity switch near a front or rear surface of the device will be sufficiently close to one of the magnets whether the device is inserted with its front surface facing out, or with its front surface facing in. An example of such a holder is a belt-clip holster.
