Abstract: A carrying case for hand held product is provided that allows access to the hand held object for use without complete removal of the object. One carrying case includes a bottom, a cover and a door. The bottom includes a cavity for housing an assembled object, such as an e-cigarette. The bottom defines a first opening through which the object may be removed from the cavity having a first dimension that is greater than a largest dimension of the object. The bottom includes a second opening having a second dimension that is greater than a smaller dimension of the object that is smaller than the largest dimension and is smaller than the first dimension of the object. The cover is movable between an open state in which access is provided and a closed state. The door is movable between an open state in which access provided and a closed state.

Abstract: A container and method of opening a container are provided. The container includes a dispensing cartridge defining a storage cavity with an access opening. A blocking member is transitionable from a blocked state to an unblocked state relative to the access opening. The blocking member covers a greater portion of the access opening in the blocked state than in the unblocked state. The outer shell includes a piercing mechanism configured to transition the blocking member from the blocked state to the unblocked state. The method includes using the piercing mechanism to transition the blocking member from the blocked state to the unblocked state.
