    Patent number: 5911441
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved carrying case which is capable of storing a pad of fresh writing paper, wherein the pad of paper may be stored in a pocket that will enclose the pad and protect it from being exposed to the outside elements. The carrying case of the present invention provides the benefits that the notepad is easily accessible to the user, without having to open the case to expose the papers contained within the interior of the case. Thus, the user may write upon a fresh pad of paper without opening the interior of the carrying case.
