A holder for a smart phone that attaches to a seatbelt by using a scoop to pick up a seatbelt and then distort the seatbelt to secure the holder to the seatbelt. The holder includes a spring-loaded sliding jaw to accommodate insertion of the phone using a single hand. Once the phone is inserted, the smart phone is held in place by the spring-loaded sliding jaw which presses the smart phone against a non-moving jaw. The holder includes features that allow for easy one-handed operation including a landing area for the user's thumb, a flange to aid in removal of the smart phone, a tread to add friction to one of the thumb areas. The sliding jaw is located opposite of the point of the scoop.
