    Abstract: A flexible mail carrying device, designed to be carried on the inner forearm between the elbow and hand, which will accommodate a mixed bundle of letter sized and magazine sized mail, as required by the U.S. Postal Service's one-bundle delivery method. The mail carrier includes a firm flexible base unit defining a rectangular back portion, with curved flaps at the full left side and full bottom side, and a movable, rigid, transparent retaining strap for securing the mail bundle. An absorbent washable cover attaches to the outer side of the carrier and can be removed for laundering as desired.
