Abstract: An insulated container has a container wall, and a space to be warmed or cooled defined within the container wall. The container has an opening in the wall and a receptacle positioned so that objects introduced through the opening can seat in the receptacle and extend outwardly through the opening so that part of the object, such as a canned or bottled drink, seats within the receptacle, and part extends outwardly of the container so that a user can reach it. Either or both of the receptacle and the container can be collapsible.

Abstract: A portable insulated case is provided which has insulative properties and which can function as a socalled cooler in order to help maintain a temperature within the container which is lower than room temperature. Such devices can also be used for maintaining a warmed environment. The top panel of the case has at least one receptacle or pocket depending from it and into the container. This receptacle closely holds a can, bottle or the like. The case thus functions as a holder for an open drink can, for example, while also having an externally accessible receptacle which assists in keeping it cool or warm as the case may be.
