     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Texting in class is the biggest distraction to the instruction and learning process. Students keep the phones in their hands, laps under the desk, or even text in a back pack that leads to the interruption of instruction. The Cell-Matte is a classroom management tool that keeps the student&#39;s phones in view and provides a designated spot that protects the phone from sliding and protects the screen from the hard surface of the desk. The backside has double stick tape that easily secures the item to the desk. When the device is on the pad face down, it is in the “no use” zone. When the devices are allowed for academic purposes, the students have a safe place to set down the phone. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The Cell-Matte attaches to a school desktop. The product is designed with grip material to protect the phone from sliding and to protect the phone&#39;s screen from the hard surface.
