Abstract: A remote control protection and detection holder. The holder secures a conventional remote control unit within a holder by employing elastic bands along the length of the holder allowing securement of various size remote control units. Enlarged corners are provided for protecting the remote controller from damage should it be dropped on a hard surface. Along one end of the holder is placed a fluorescent like material allowing the holder to glow in the dark. Electrical circuitry is provided which is made operational upon the holder being moved or whenever a television is started up by receipt of a predetermined electromagnetic field radiated from the horizontal deflection coils of the cathode-ray tube. A movable light source is provided for rotation over a key pad of a secured remote controller for illumination in low level lighting.
