Abstract
A system for a carrying an item comprises an inner sleeve assembly comprising first and second side panel assemblies and a perimeter panel assembly joined to define a sleeve chamber. The perimeter panel assembly comprises a first resilient member, a second resilient member, and a first elastic member. The first elastic member is arranged to apply a first bias force on the second resilient member to deform the second resilient member. The second resilient member applies a first sleeve chamber force on the first resilient member when the first elastic member deforms the second resilient member. When the item is inserted into the sleeve chamber, the first sleeve chamber force causes the first resilient member to engage the item, thereby holding the item in place within the sleeve chamber.
