There is disclosed a compact wallet, comprising at least two rigid plates at least one having a channel into which an encircling elastic band is interposed to bias the at least two rigid plates inwardly and securely hold the card-like contents while providing elastic volume therebetween while allowing freedom for the dynamic extension and contraction of the band over the entire running length of the wallet. The wallet includes an auxiliary feature removably attached within the interior at least one of the at least two rigid plates interposed using a tang inserted into a recess formed inside the plate, the tang having a hook, the hook extending at an angle to the tang, the hook engaging an undercut of the recess to prevent inadvertent dislodgement of the auxiliary feature from the recess.

The present invention is a compact wallet designed to present a minimal silhouette in a shirt, pants or purse pocket. Novel features hold the silhouette to the minimal dimensions of a credit card while affording maximal expandability for content storage and accessibility. A novel method makes additional features modularly available.

A case may include a compartment configured to contain at least one card. The compartment may be open on a first side. Some embodiments may include an ejector disposed at least partially in the compartment and configured to eject the at least one card through the first side. In some embodiments, the ejector may include a slider configured to slide in a first direction from a second side of the compartment opposite the first side of the compartment towards the first side of the compartment. In some embodiments, the ejector may include an expander configured to expand in a first direction from a second side of the compartment opposite the first side of the compartment towards the first side of the compartment. Some embodiments of the case may include a spring wall configured to compress the at least one card within the compartment.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus for carrying objects with a mobile communications device. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a protective case adapted to receive a mobile communications device. The apparatus includes a carrying strap fastened to the protective case. The apparatus includes one or more loops disposed on the carrying strap. The one or more loops are adapted to receive an elongated object and hold the elongated object in a fixed position with respect to the carrying strap. In an alternative embodiment, the apparatus includes one or more pockets adapted to receive credit-card sized items. The apparatus includes a closeable flap. The apparatus includes one or more rings, each ring adapted to receive a clasp from a carrying strap. The apparatus includes an adhesive layer.

A compact or “minimalist” holder for a bottle and various personal items. The compact holder comprises three members: a bottle member, a protective member, and at least one adjustable band. The bottle member and the protective member are removably coupled by the at least one adjustable band. The compact holder allows access to, storage and protection of various personal item(s) disposed between the bottle and protective member. A variety of personal item(s) can be removably held, stored and protected by the compact holder, and a variety of fluids may be stored by and dispensed from the bottle, including lubricant, cleaners, antimicrobial solution, vitamin solutions, mace, pepper spray, perfume, oils, and lotion.
