Abstract
A holder/carrier temporarily attaches to and supports small items of multiple configurations. Using multiple, flexible straps that are each attached to a support base, the item is enwrapped and retained against the support base. An attachment mechanism, such as a retaining clip, is affixed to the support base, and is utilized to selectively attach the support base, along with the carried, enwrapped item, to a separate supporting structure, such as a waistband, belt or other, suitably-shaped, receiving structures. Additionally, by securing an attachment device that is cooperative with the support base attachment mechanism to another support surface, whether on a permanent or temporary basis, the attachment mechanism may be attached to support surfaces that would not otherwise be suitable.
