2) The protective elements coverage (figure 2) ensures that whilst carrying bag handles or the like finger base knuckles (1.1,1.2) (figure 2) up to finger knuckles (1.5,1.6) (figure 2) are protected from the strain of the handle pressing and cutting directly on to the coverage area (figure 3).

3) The protective element user can comfortably carry bag handles or the like, without feeling any strain or discomfort on the primary points of contact covered by the protective element.
