  • Patent number: 11786019
    Abstract: A personal item management apparatus includes a bag including opposing first and second side panels, opposing first and second end panels, and a bottom panel. In several embodiments, a first foot is formed by the bottom panel and/or the first side panel, and a second foot is formed by the bottom panel and/or the second side panel. When placed on a flat surface, the first and second feet are adapted to provide support so that the apparatus stands upright and at least a portion of the bottom panel is spaced apart from the flat surface. In several embodiments, a zipper is coupled to each of the opposing first and second side panels. A wearable band may be coupled to the zipper so that the zipper is openable and closeable by moving: the wearable band relative to the bag; and/or the bag relative to the wearable band.
