It's called a 
Phubby. Okay, so you’re asking, what’s a Phubby? At CES I asked the same question. The Phubby is the wrist cubby. Just slip your hand through a Phubby and it is ready to act as a cubby for your phone. You can slide your phone in and out of the concealed pouch quicker than the onset of a second ring tone. You'll always feel the phone “vibrate” when it's up against your wrist and it’s way never to have to search for the phone. Also you won’t misplace your phone or leave it behind when you leave a restaurant or anyplace where you normally put your phone down while you do something else. Because the Phubby holds your phone in place with a net fabric, I found I can use my phone while it was still in the Phubby. It looks a little weird when people see you talking into your wrist, but it’s possible! It’s also great for iPods, credit cards, keys, even cash. I wish I had one at CES because it’s ideal for noisy places especially if you’re expecting an important call. With phone on vibrate I would have been able to feel a call coming in no matter how loud the surrounding noise! It comes in many solid colors and patterns and it’s $12.95.
