An apparatus for opening bottles and storing data has an enclosure formed from a pair of semi-enclosed casings that includes a gripping member having a pair of tabs for grasping and removing caps from bottles. The enclosure provides a protective shell for a portable data storage device that may be pivoted outwardly from within the enclosure when the device is in use. The data storage device includes a universal serial bus plug and can be used with any electronic device having a universal serial bus port, such as a desktop computer, notebook computer, communications device, and the like. The apparatus may be carried separately or can be attached to another carrying device or hung on a hook.
