A shield for an existing hand-held telephone having a front face with at least a display and a keypad thereon, and an antenna for emitting electromagnetic waves. The shield includes a body portion and apparatus for pivotally mounting the body portion to the existing hand-held cellular telephone. The body portion is pivotally mounted to the existing hand-held cellular telephone and has a first position for covering and protecting the front face of the existing hand-held cellular telephone, and a second position that is substantially 180.degree. pivoted upwardly from the first position and is disposed adjacent to, and between, the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone and a user and extends at least the length of the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone so as the electromagnetic waves are emitted from the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone, the body portion shields the user from them. When in the second position, the body portion has a polished convex face that opposes the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone so as to reflect the electromagnetic waves emitted from the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone at diffusing angles and cause them to spread out and reflect off nearby surfaces and provide a more non-uniformity in the transmission direction so as to improve communications of the existing hand-held cellular telephone.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A shield for an existing hand-held telephone having a front face with at least a display and a keypad thereon, a pair of opposing side walls, and an upper portion with an antenna having a length extending upwardly therefrom for emitting electromagnetic waves, said shield comprising:a) a body portion for pivotal mounting to the existing hand-held cellular telephone and having a first position for covering and protecting the front face of the existing hand-held cellular telephone so as to prevent damage to at least the display and the unintentional use of the keypad, and a second position being substantially 180.degree. pivoted upwardly from said first position for being disposed adjacent to, and between, the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone and a user and for extending at least the length of the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone so as the electromagnetic waves are emitted from the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone, said body portion shields the user from them; said body portion comprising a facia portion having a concave face for extending over, and opposing, the front face of the existing hand-held cellular telephone when said body portion is in said first position and a convex face for extending the length of, and opposing, the antenna of the existing hand-held cellular telephone when said body portion is in said second position; said body portion further comprising a pair of opposing side walls depending from said facia portion, at its long edges, and for opposing the pair of opposing side walls of the existing hand-held cellular telephone when said body portion is in said first position; andb) means for pivotally mounting said body portion to the existing hand-held cellular telephone; said means including said pair of opposing side walls of said body portion having a pair of tabs, each of which having a throughbore therethrough; each tab of said pair of tabs extending longitudinally and coplanarly from a respective side wall of said pair of opposing side walls of said body portion for pivotal mounting to a respective side wall of the pair of opposing side walls of the existing hand-held cellular telephone, at the upper portion thereof, so as said body portion pivots between said first and second positions, a space formed between said pair of tabs provides clearance for said facia portion of said body portion; said means further including a pair of feet, each of which having a countersunk throughbore therethrough and being for affixing to the respective side wall of the pair of opposing side walls of the existing hand-held cellular telephone, at the upper portion thereof.
