A carrying case including a main body housing providing a storage space, an opening to the storage space, a movable part or flap, a partially-detachable loop portion, and at least one fastening means. The partially-detachable loop portion has a first end that is fixedly-attached to the main body housing, and a second end that is attachable/detachable to the main body housing by the fastening means. In a fully-attached state, the fastening means holds the second end of the partially-detachable loop portion to an outer surface of the main body housing until the at least one fastening means is released, the releasing allowing a partially-detachable loop portion to move to a partially-attached state where the second end freely moves.

An extendable and retractable coupling system is configured with a retractable coupler that is tethered to a coupler body to retain valuable item to a person or other item. An extendable coupling system has a dual coupler having a fixed coupler that is stationary, or configured on the coupler body and a retractable coupler that is coupled to the coupler body by a tether. The retractable coupler may be coupled to a valuable item, such as a mobile phone and the fixed coupler may be coupled to a person clothing, such as to a belt loop, for example. The user may then extend the tether to use their mobile phone and place the phone back into a pocket when not in use. The tether may prevent the valuable item, such as the mobile phone, from dropping to the ground and being damaged.

A tether system and apparatus is provided for securing a handheld device to a user. The tether apparatus includes a harness having an elastomeric body configured to engage the plurality of corners of the handheld device thereby releasably securing the elastomeric body to the handheld device, a fastener configured for releasably engaging an article worn or borne by a user, and an elongated tether interconnecting the fastener and the harness. A first end of the tether is connected to the elastomeric body, and a second end of the tether is connected to the fastener. The elastomeric body and the elongated tether may be monolithically formed. The tether apparatus allows a user to easily retrieve the handheld device if dropped.

An attaching loop member to mount a printing device on a belt-like member worn by a user includes: a device-side member connectable to the printing device; and an attaching-side member mountable on the belt-like member worn by the user. The device-side member includes: a device-side plate portion; a fixing portion fixable to the printing device; a shaft portion and an engaging portion provided on the device-side plate portion. The attaching-side member includes: a bearing portion engageable with the shaft portion; an engaged portion engageable with the engaging portion; and an open portion providing an open region between the bearing portion and the engaged portion to allow the belt-like member to penetrate through the open region. The engagement of the shaft portion with the bearing portion allows the device-side member to pivot relative to the attaching-side member to realize engagement and disengagement of the engaging portion relative to the engaged portion.

A wearable mobile apparatus for instant photographs, a frame assembly for the photograph, and a method of providing the instant photograph. The wearable apparatus includes a flexible strap, an attachment on at least one end of the strap; a camera holder hanging from the strap with a pocket for a digital camera; and a printer holder hanging from the strap with a compartment for a portable printer that prints a photograph.

A belt buckle adapted for securing a plurality of tools. The multi-purpose belt buckle system includes a first component for screwing a screw and a second component for holding the first component. The first component is T-shaped and includes various types of screwdriver heads.

A clip-on air gun holster is disclosed. The clip-on air gun holster includes a support arm, having a first end spaced apart from a second end. A first leg extends generally perpendicular to the first end. A second leg extends generally perpendicular to the second end. A bracing arm is spaced apart from the support arm and extends from the first leg to said second leg. The first leg and the second leg each comprise a front piece and a back piece opposite the front piece. Each front piece-back piece pair is connected at an upper end by a loop, so that each front piece-back piece pair is biased toward a resting position.

A holder for receiving, storing and carrying photographic items such as cameras, printers, film packs or photographic prints. The holder has a front/distal case that is removably connected to a back/proximal case so that the two cases can be used together or separately. A multi-clip having a pair of open sections and a base member removably attaches the front case to the back case. A pair of side members guide the multi-clip into place to be received in a clip receiver. The cases are configured be used with various carrying devices that allow the user to carry the holder or one of the cases thereof. In one embodiment, the front case has a back section with a divider that defines separate areas for a film pack and prints and a front section that pivots to open or close the front case and allow access to the items.

A belt mountable holder and methods of making and using a belt mountable holder including an arcuate member suspendable from a belt disposed about the waist of a wearer and having mateable fasteners disposed on an exterior face of the arcuate member to releasably couple one or more containers to carry articles or tool retainers to retain tools and optionally including a holder support to transfer a holder weight normally applied to the waist of a wearer to a ground engaging surface to remove weight bearing stress from the wearer's waist.

An apparatus, a system and a method connects bags around a traveler to allow the traveler to move while carrying the bags. A first bag rests upon a shoulder of the traveler and connects to a third bag near the waist of the traveler by a strap. A second bag extends across the back of the traveler. The first bag connects to the second bag which connects to the third bag by a connector. The traveler lifts the third bag toward the first bag to extend and connect a strap between the first bag and the third bag. The three bags surround the traveler to allow the traveler to have both hands unencumbered.
