Abstract: A system for carrying apparatus for personal use for example portable sound reproduction apparatus, on a limb is disclosed. The system includes a bracelet adapted to fit around a limb of the user, a casing including a cavity shaped and dimensioned to receive the apparatus itself therein, and a cable or lead storage unit including a necked configuration around which one or more cables or leads may be wound for temporary storage. The casing and cable or lead storage unit can each be attached to the bracelet or attached directly to one another. The bracelet may be of slap bracelet construction.

Abstract: Two-part casings are described which have the dual function of enclosing and protecting a hand-held electronic device, for example a music player in one portion of the casing and an accessory to the device such as a battery pack or loudspeaker system. The overall assembled casing is still a hand-held portable unit. A connector (5) inside one portion of the casing may be electrically connected to a connector (6), for example a mini USB socket, for mating with a mini USB plug on the second casing portion which has the accessory located in it.
