Abstract: A portable electronic device carrier includes a main strap, first and second elastic framing components, and a framing cover. The main strap includes a framing portion and a non-framing portion. Both the framing portion and framing cover include first and second channels within which reside the first and second elastic framing components; the first and second elastic framing components comprise continuous loops. The framing portion and the framing cover along with the first and second elastic framing components, define a portable electronic device soft form frame having a central opening there through. When a portable electronic device is received within the portable electronic device soft form frame, a tension of the first and second elastic framing components retains the portable electronic device within the portable electronic device soft form frame and provides user access to both a front face and a rear face of the portable electronic device.
