Abstract: A combination carrying case and folding seat. The device is arranged to be disposed directly on a supporting surface, such as the ground and comprises first and second shell-shaped members. The members are pivotably connected together at their rear by a hinge. The first shell member is generally hollow in shape for storage of items therein and includes a generally planar bottom portion. The generally planar bottom portion serves as the base for the device when disposed on the ground as a seat. The device also includes a third member removably mounted over the first member and closing the hollow interior of the first member. The third member forms a seating surface of the device. The second member includes an inner surface and is pivotable relative to the first member from a closed position wherein the members contact each other to an open position wherein the inner surface of the second member extends at an angle of at least 90.degree. to the seating surface to form a back rest for the seat.
