Abstract: A portable telephone shoulder rest comprising a base member formed of a flexible pouch filled with a weighted material, and a sleeve attached to the upper side of the flexible pouch. The sleeve is formed of elastic side panels interconnected by a flexible transparent perforated top panel. The lower portion of a portable telephone handset is received in the top end of the sleeve and extends through the open bottom end of the sleeve where the end of the handset rests in a depression formed in the flexible pouch. When inserted into the sleeve, the keypad of the handset underlies the flexible transparent top panel so that it may be viewed and actuated through the top panel. A non-slip surface may be applied to the upper side of the pouch to assist in securely retaining the handset within the sleeve. Also, a non-slip surface may be applied to the bottom surface of the pouch so that it securely rests on the shoulder of the user.
