Abstract:
An article and method for securely carrying a small item for personal use during and after recreational and physical activities is provided. A flexible sheet, as of foam, which may be waterproof, is formed into a receptacle for the item. An overlying flap portion of the sheet is secured back to the receptacle with Velcro strips or the like, as with buttons or snaps, after a strap of an article of the user's clothing, as on a cap, tank top, or the like, is placed under the flap. Alternative securement devices, as slits in the carrier or as toothed snaps, are also disclosed. This securement prevents the item and carrier from flopping about during use while keeping hands and arms free of bands and constraints.
