Abstract

A holder for holding an accessory within ready access of a user, especially for belt-worn use, includes a resiliently deformable cover mounted on a container for inversion between a closed position in which the cover has a concave shape and resists removal of the accessory from the container, and an open position in which the cover has a convex shape and enables reception and removal of the accessory into and from the container. The cover is capable of self-maintaining the convex shape in the open position.
