Abstract: A seat pocket can be used as an integral part of a back of a seat of a motor vehicle, or alternatively, the pocket can be used as an after market item for attachment to a seat back of a seat of a motor vehicle. The seat pocket has an open position and a closed position. In an open position, the seat pocket is in the form of a container with a base, two raised sides, an inner end and an outer end. The outer end is hinged on the base as is the inner end. The sides are foldable so that the inner end can be folded down parallel to the base and the sides will automatically fold. The inner end is hinged relative to the base as well. When the seat pocket is integral with the seat back, the inner end forms part of the seat. In a closed position, an underside of the base forms an outer surface of the seat back.
