Abstract: Apparatuses for associating a portable electronic device with a cup holder are provided. The apparatuses may be formed from wire and/or make use of a leaf spring design and retain association with the portable electronic device through clamping and retain association with a cup holder through the use of a resiliently deformable element that can be deformed to a size smaller than the cup holder and when released, can push up against the walls of the cup holder with sufficient force to retain association therewith. In some embodiments, when the apparatus is used in a cup holder, the cup holder remains available to receive cups or other objects.
