Abstract: Apparatus selectively attachable to the outer case of a cellular telephone or other similarly sized portable device. The apparatus desirably includes a housing containing an elastomeric band that is principally disposed inside the housing when the apparatus is not in use. When the apparatus of the invention is attached to the outer case of a cell phone, a portion of the elastomeric band is manually withdrawn through an opening in the housing and can be releasably latched in place to form a flexible, continuous loop outside the housing. The flexible, continuous loop can be used as a selectively retractable carrying strap when the cell phone or other similar device is not in use. Alternatively, the flexible continuous loop can be used, for example, to support the cell phone around a user's neck for hands-free use when the user is engaged in other activities.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a bag with a retractable strap and different variations of accessory panels located throughout the bag. In some aspects, the retractable strap may be moved into different orientations on the bag rather than a stagnant placement throughout the use of the bag. In some embodiments, the bag may have several interior and exterior accessory panels that allow for limitless combinations of accessories to be added for maximum customization from bag to bag. In some implementations, the bag and frame may be made up of different materials depending on the intended use of the bag. In some embodiments, the retractable strap may have different length control mechanisms, allowing the strap to be retractable no matter the orientation. In some implementations, the retractable strap may extend via a constant force spring. In some aspects, the rotational force of the extension of the constant force spring may provide a constant force.
