Abstract

A communication device holding and liquid dispensing apparatus dispenses a liquid for consumption from a vessel, and retains a mobile communication device in an upright or side position for operation and viewing. The apparatus provides a vessel, a detachable cap, and a pivotally extendable and retractable cradled handle. The cradled handle is defined by a curved plane that fits the palm of the hand while drinking from the vessel, and also forms a supportive surface for retaining the communication device. The cradled handle has multiple perimeter flanges that retain the communication device in an upright or side position on the cradled handle, inhibit slippage by the communication device, and restrict pivotal retraction by the cradled handle while retaining the communication device. The cradled handle includes a handle latch member that forms a snap fit relationship with a corresponding cap latch member to fasten cradled handle in the retracted position.
