Patent ID: 8387790

Claim:
A system, comprising: a holder for a telecommunications device, the holder comprising: a container including a side wall connected to a base, the side wall and the base together defining a cavity inside the container, wherein the side wall further defines an opening of the container at an end of the side wall distal to the base; a resilient insert disposed inside the cavity, the insert including: a bottom portion that abuts the base of the container; and a feature for releasably retaining a portion of the telecommunications device inside the container, the feature being any of pre-formed or pre-cut to a size and shape of the portion of the telecommunications device; wherein the resilient insert conforms to the size and shape of the portion of the telecommunications device retained inside the feature; a lid in selective locking engagement with the distal end of the side wall such that, when the lid is in locking engagement with the distal end, the lid encloses the opening of the container to i) retain the telecommunications device inside the holder, and ii) muffle any of a sound or a vibration produced by the telecommunications device, the lid including: a top; a lid side wall connected to the top; a lid cavity defined by the lid side wall and the top; and a resilient lid insert disposed inside the lid cavity, the resilient lid insert i) including a lid feature that aligns with the feature defined in the insert disposed inside the cavity of the container, ii) having a size and shape to receive an other portion of the telecommunications device protruding from the container, iii) being any of pre-formed or pre-cut to the size and the shape of the other portion of the telecommunications device, and iv) conforming to the size and the shape of the other portion of the telecommunications device protruding from the container when the lid is in locking engagement with the distal end of the side wall of the container; and a locking mechanism operatively attached to any of the container or the lid, the locking mechanism configured to hold the lid and the container together when the lid is in locking engagement with the distal end of the side wall; and the telecommunications device disposed inside the holder.
