- With the rise in popularity of cellular phones, users need to access their cell phones quickly. Sometimes, users may leave their phones at home, misplace or lose their phones. On the other hand, consumers who carry credit cards, business cards, and cash are constantly fumbling through their wallets to pull out their cards and cash. Further, as consumers acquire more and more business cards, credit cards, and add them to their wallets, the wallets become oversized, unsightly, and difficult to keep in their pockets.
- As can be seen, there is a need for a bag for storing credit cards, business cards, and cash in one receptacle and safely and securely retaining them, and for storing a portable electronic device, such as a cellular phone in a separate, easily accessible, but attached receptacle.
- In one aspect of the present invention, a bag comprises a receptacle having a closed bottom, a top, and a plurality of side walls integrally attached to and surrounding the periphery of the bottom; and a hook operably connected to the receptacle, the hook adapted to connect to a belt loop of a user.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention in use; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 1 with a flap cover open; -
FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a back elevational view of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown inFIG. 1 ; -
