Conventional carrying cases have become increasingly popular, and the uses for these carrying cases have significantly increased. Both children and adults have found new and interesting uses for carrying cases, and manufacturers have often even modified specific types of carrying cases specifically for use by children. For example, portable luggage items, such as tote bags or carry-on bags with wheels, have been provided in smaller sizes, in striking colors, and with animated depictions of cartoon characters sewed thereon, for use by children. Unfortunately, most of these conventional carrying cases only serve a single purpose, which is to store items and objects. Most of these conventional carrying cases do not provide much, if any, amusement to the user.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a carrying case which has an amusement associated therewith.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a carrying case that can be used for additional purposes other than to carry items and objects.

The amusement feature can be an electronic device, or a non-electronic device. The amusement feature can be provided on an outer surface of the carrying case, on an inner panel disposed inside the storage section, on a pouch attached to the storage section, or at any internal or external location of the carrying case.
