A modular clipping system has a top cover, a midsection, a pull handle, and a base. The top cover has a plurality of elongated arms with a first cavity, the midsection forms a first portion of a second cavity, and the pull handle forms a second portion of the second cavity. The base forms a third cavity. The midsection, the pull handle, and the top cover are mated to the base such that the first cavity, the second cavity, and the third cavity are aligned, forming an opening. When the pull handle is activated, a male fitting is accepted into the opening and locked into the opening when the pull handle is released.

A portable storage container with a lid that is removably positionable on the top of the container body and defines indents or grooves on opposite sides, is described. A strap is secured to opposing side walls of the container body and extends through the side indents to secure the lid on the top of the container body. The top of the container body may also define side indents/grooves that align with the side indents of the lid to provide a snug fit of the strap on top of the lid. The strap may also be moved to a bottom depression or groove on the underside of the bottom of the container body.

A support system which allows for the use and mounting of a smart phone, or similar electronic device, in a variety of ways. The support system may be adapted to function as a hand grip while supporting the smart phone during image acquisition, or while watching images on the smart phone. In another configuration, the support system may be adapted to attach to the user's belt. In another configuration, the support system may function as a support stand. In another configuration, the support system may be mounted on a tripod. The support system may include a kit of parts which allow for the modification of support accessories to allow for different configurations. The support system may include a removable shutter which may actuate the camera functions via wireless communication.

A wearable sled system for a mobile computer device includes an open-ended sled housing, a removable end cap, and a mounting assembly for mounting the sled housing onto a user's arm or belt. A mobile computer device is slidably received into the sled housing, and the end cap is received on the sled housing's open end to form a complete enclosure. The mounting assembly includes a rigid mounting plate having a front side configured to receive the back side of the sled housing. The mounting plate and the sled housing include locking formations for selectively securing the sled housing to the mounting plate. The mounting assembly further includes an attachment device secured to the back side of the mounting plate for removably mounting the system on the user.
