People have been holding phones (the mouthpiece/earpiece
part)
with
their shoulders for so long that special tools were made to make
the
holding more comfortable. See link.
Well, why isn't there such a thing for today's flat phones? We
don't
want the shoulder rest to be permanently
attached to the
phone,
but
it could be attached to a phone-holder. Slide the phone into the
holder, then rest it on the shoulder.
I'm guessing the main problem is, where do you put the shoulder
rest when you are doing something else with the phone? Short
of permanently attaching the rest to the shoulder (the shirt or
blouse or jacket or...), perhaps a modification to the back side
of the phone itself could work. Imagine a simple rod/handle,
that was attached to a tiny air pump. Use it to inflate a
balloon-type membrane attached to the back of the phone.
When done having the phone on the shoulder, press a valve-
button (normally held closed with a spring) to let the air out.

I'm pretty sure I've seen a phone case designed for this. |

If you can get this right, I foresee a lot of phones going into the recycle bin. Phones are so light now they can easily be part of anything one might normally wear. Even nudists have to carry handbags and flip flops. |

[notexactly], [tatterdemalion], OK, but it appears to be
one of those permanently-stuck-to-the-phone things. Bulky
in all situations besides using the shoulder. |
