13. The mounting system of claim 6 , wherein the flat top of the complementary mount is substantially circular in shape.

14. The mounting system of claim 13 , wherein the bottom of the complementary mount is substantially circular in shape.

15. The mounting system of claim 14 , wherein a circumference of the flat top of the complementary mount is smaller than a circumference of the bottom of the complementary mount.

16. The mounting system of claim 15 , wherein the bottom of the complementary mount is an annular lip and the complementary mount is hollow.

17. The mounting system of claim 6 , wherein the flat top connects to the bottom of the complementary mount at the back of the complementary mount, and wherein the slot of the complementary mount has a front opening to accept a portion of the flexible strap of the handle apparatus.

18. The mounting system of claim 17 , wherein the slot of the complementary mount is configured such that the flexible strap of the handle apparatus remains in line with the rigid base of the handle apparatus.

19. A mounting system for a handheld electronic device comprising:

a handle apparatus having a rigid base, a flexible strap, and an adhesive backer, wherein:

the rigid base has a first end, a midpoint, a second end, a front surface, a back surface, a tapered periphery, a first receiving channel on the back surface near the first end, a second receiving channel on the back surface near the second end, a first receiving mortise near the first end, and a second receiving mortise near the second end;
