As communications devices become more capable of handling multiple tasks, there is less of a need for people to carry as many items with them on-the-go, leading to a minimization trend. This trend is particularly apparent in the transition from simple cell phones to newer generations of cell phones integrating the calling function with e-mail, mobile apps, movie viewing, GPS navigation, calendar and clock functions, etc. In addition, the sizes and shapes of modern cell phones are much more compact than in the past, now approaching the size of other items commonly carried on-the-go, such as credit cards, driver licenses, paper money, etc.
To facilitate convenient carrying of this smaller number of items, there is a need for a single carrying device which is capable of carrying both the mobile communications devices (e.g., cellular phones) or PDAs, along with the carrying of these miscellaneous other items, such as money and credit-card sized items in a single convenient pocket case.
