A front flap with a hook and loop closure secures the top opening of the case and a zippered pocket is incorporated on the front exterior. There is a belt loop holder secured by a hook and loop closure on the rear exterior. The sample identified as item #2, "Gamers Carrier Pack" is designed to protect and transport various games and accessories. It has an exterior surface of a sheeting of plastic. The interior is comprised of two zippered compartments: the front compartment has several plastic storage wings for trading cards; the rear compartment has several open mesh pockets that are designed to hold hand held games and cartridges for games. An open mesh pocket is incorporated on the front of the case. The case may be carried by means of a detachable shoulder strap or top carry handle.
