DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] FIG. 1 shows the present invention and all of its features. Pouch 20 contains an opening on one edge of the pouch 22. This opening allows small contents to be inserted and removed, such as, but not limited to identification cards, automobile registration documents, and proof of insurance documents. To ease the process of removing and inserting documents listed above, the pouch 20 contains a hole through one face of pouch 26. This hole can be used to allow an individual to use their finger or thumb to slide the contents in or out of the pouch 20 more easily. The pouch 20 also contains some type of fastening mechanism 24, such as but not limited to hook and loop, non-damaging adhesive, magnets or combination thereof which is secured to the exterior of the pouch 20 on the side of the pouch 20 opposite the hole 26. This fastening mechanism 24 allows the pouch to be quickly affixed and removed from the hard surface, such as an automotive interior door panel or dashboard. In the preferred embodiment of the invention which utilizes hook and loop, either the hook or loop side will have to be secured to the hard surface via non-damaging adhesive. Then, the remaining entity of the hook and loop combination will be secured to the face of the pouch 20 via non-damaging adhesive allowing the hook and loop to hold the pouch 20 in place. In the case of the magnet, half of the magnet will be secured to the hard surface, while the remaining half will be secured to the face of the pouch 20 such that the magnet is capable of holding the pouch 20 in place on the hard surface. FIG. 2 shows a front view of a potential installation location of the present invention. A typical automobile interior door panel 12 contains a number of items including but not limited to an interior door panel arm rest 14, interior door panel door handle 16. Automobile window 10 is shown for reference. A potential installation location for the present invention 18 is shown that is easily accessible for the automobile driver, easily seen by an individual standing outside the driver's side door of the automobile, and is not in a position to catch an excessive amount of wind that could disturb the pouch 20 when the automobile window 10 is not in an up position. The pouch 20 should be oriented such that gravity and or wind don't pull the pouch contents out inadvertently.
