A removable cover for protecting an article of luggage is provided. The cover has a tubular section with top and bottom open ends and two cover sections extending from respective opposite perimeter end edges of the tubular section for covering the top and bottom open ends of the tubular section. The tubular section is configured to be placed over and cover front, rear, top, bottom and sides of an article of luggage. In an exemplary embodiment, a rear side of the tubular section is provided with at least one compartment for storing shoulder straps and for allowing the shoulder straps to be readily removed from the compartment to allow the user to carry the luggage in the form of a backpack.

A device having a first container and a second container that is convertible between a primary configuration and a secondary configuration. Each container having a primary face (with primary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the device is in the primary configuration) and a secondary face (with secondary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the device is in the secondary configuration). A first mateable half and a second mateable half of an openable-closeable connection are connectable to secure the containers in either a primary configuration or a secondary configuration. Preferably, contents within the containers may remain during conversion between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration. A method for converting a device between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration.

A device for carrying a surfboard, similar sporting equipment or other objects. One embodiment is comprised of webbing material with fixed loop 24 having a buckle 22 that slides along the fixed loop 24 and a strap element 20 that in combination with the buckle 22 creates a secondary adjustable loop. The secondary adjustable loop is used to hold a surfboard or other object securely in place and the fixed loop 24 supports the surfboard from one of the user's shoulder allowing hands free operation. When not utilized as a carrier the device can be worn, such as a belt. The user keeps the fixed loop 24 compressed together, wraps the carrier around his/her waist, through the buckle 22 and then attaches it back onto itself.

When not utilized as a carrier the device can be worn, such as a belt. The user keeps the fixed loop compressed together, wraps the carrier around his/her waist, through the loop buckle and then attaches it back onto itself. A personal flotation device can be attached to the strap element so that the carrier and personal flotation device form a single unit.

In one aspect, a case includes at least one exterior surface, at least one compartment internal to the exterior surface and in which at least one system component cars be placed, a strap removably engageable with the exterior surface, and a cable coupled to the strap that is useable to transmit at least one of data and power between two devices.

A convertible carrying case having a first container and a second container that is convertible between a primary configuration and a secondary configuration. Each container having a primary face (with primary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the convertible carrying case is in the primary configuration) and a secondary face (with secondary access structure for accessing the interior of the container when the convertible carrying case is in the secondary configuration). A first matable half and a second matable half of an openable-closeable connection are connectable to secure the containers in either a primary configuration or a secondary configuration. Preferably, contents within the containers may remain during conversion between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration. A method for converting a convertible carrying case between the primary configuration and the secondary configuration.

Disclosed herein is a novel configurable carrying apparatus that may be configured into a variety of pouch, purse, messenger bag, or other accessory carrying configurations. More specifically, the present invention may include two opposing carrying straps being joinable along one edge with a two-way zipper. The apparatus may be configured into a harness arrangement, a single sling arrangement, a two independent slings arrangement, or a clutch bag arrangement, as well as others. The straps may have a different appearance on each side and be reversible to offer even more wearing variations.
