The present teachings relate to a carrying case comprising: a first portion including a first inner surface and a first outer surface; a second portion including a second inner surface and a second outer surface; a pocket defined by the first inner surface and the second inner surface; a sealing device located on the first portion, the second portion, or both, and wherein the sealing device provides for access to the pocket; wherein the pocket and one or more items stored therein are kept dry when the sealing device is in a closed position; and wherein the carrying case, with the one or more items stored therein, is buoyant in water.

A case for a mobile device includes a flexible covering defining a cavity for receiving and holding the mobile device; a rigid frame at least partially disposed within the flexible covering; and an adapter disposed at least partially within the rigid frame and the flexible covering, the adapter including first contacts, a male plug extending into the cavity, and second contacts disposed on the male plug and electrically coupled to the first contacts; where the adapter, in combination with at least one of the flexible covering or the rigid frame, defines a first male structure extending away from the cavity, where the first contacts of the adapter are disposed on the first male structure. Another case includes at least the flexible covering and adapter and also includes a female connector electrically coupled to the second contacts and having an opening disposed on the first male structure.

An insulating device can include an aperture having a waterproof closure which allows access to the chamber within the insulating device. The closure can help prevent any fluid leakage into and out of the insulating device if the insulating device is overturned or in any configuration other than upright. The closure also prevents any fluid from permeating into the chamber if the insulating device is exposed to precipitation, other fluid, or submersed under water. This construction results in an insulating chamber impervious to water and other liquids when the closure is sealed.

A closure having a first flange with first engagement mechanism and a second with a second engagement mechanism disposed between the first end and the second end. The first engagement mechanism configured to engage the second engagement mechanism. A slider configured to selectively engage the first engagement mechanism and the second mechanism when moved in a first direction and disengage the first engagement mechanism from the second engagement mechanism when moved in a second direction. The closure is substantially watertight in the closed position.

A tote bag including an outer shell comprising a sidewall defining a top, an opening, a front, and a back, wherein the outer shell is flexible, and wherein the outer shell comprises a seam. A plurality of straps, wherein the plurality of straps is attached to the outer shell. A base defining a bottom of the bag, wherein the outer shell and the base form a storage compartment, and wherein the opening is configured to allow access to the storage compartment, the storage compartment further comprising, an inner pocket attached to an interior of the bag comprising a zipper, wherein the zipper is configured to open and close the inner pocket.

A receipt holder device is disclosed herein including an organizer portfolio including a front-cover, at least one card holder, a storage compartment, a rear-cover, a first-clip, a first-elastic-fastener, a second-clip, and a second-elastic-fastener. The front-cover and the rear-cover of the organizer portfolio are hingedly connected and configured to open and close to access contents within the organizer portfolio. The organizer portfolio includes two or more columns for securing and organizing receipts within. Business cards and other items are also organized and stored within providing a waterproof personal day planner and tax receipt organizer.

A case for a mobile device includes a flexible covering defining a cavity for receiving and holding the mobile device; a rigid frame at least partially disposed within the flexible covering; and an adapter disposed at least partially within the rigid frame and the flexible covering, the adapter including first contacts, a male plug extending into the cavity, and second contacts disposed on the male plug and electrically coupled to the first contacts; where the adapter, in combination with at least one of the flexible covering or the rigid frame, defines a first male structure extending away from the cavity, where the first contacts of the adapter are disposed on the first male structure. Another case includes at least the flexible covering and adapter and also includes a female connector electrically coupled to the second contacts and having an opening disposed on the first male structure.

A pest-proof bag that includes a front wall and a rear wall, wherein the front wall is sealably coupled to the rear wall at edges to form an enclosure. A traversing elongated slot in the front wall just below a periphery of the front wall can be provided for gaining access into the enclosure. A fastener can be sealably coupled along a periphery of the elongated slot and configured to sealably close the elongated slot. The fastener can be a laminated zipper that prevents penetration of pests.
