    Patent number: 7549244
    Abstract: A non-rectangular or asymmetrically shaped credit card or phone card with an associated case or holder.

The case is designed to be light-weight and easily carried and to serve as a device to carry the card in a safe and convenient manner outside of a wallet or purse. Alternatively, the card may be in an I-shape or square shape configuration.
