Abstract

The present invention holds a card-like electronic appliance, such as a semiconductor storage medium or an expansion module, and makes it difficult for dust, dirt and moisture to adhere to the card-like electronic appliance. The invention also makes it possible for card-like electronic appliances to be easily and appropriately held, stored, and organized, even when there are a large number of card-like electronic appliances. The card-like electronic appliance holder includes a holder main body with an appliance insertion hole into which at least part of a card-like electronic appliance is inserted, and is provided with a support part with a through-hole for hanging the holder main body. A convex part for engaging a concave part provided in the card-like electronic appliance and holding the card-like electronic appliance is provided inside the appliance insertion hole. Since card-like electronic appliances are held in this way, it becomes difficult for the card-like electronic appliances to become lost when kept separately, and dust, dirt, moisture, etc. can be kept from adhering to the card-like electronic appliance.
