Convertible carrying case and work platform for small electronic devices

A convertible carrying case and work platform for small electronic devices, particularly notebook computers, which is adapted to be used as a carrying case for the electronic device as well as a work platform. The carrying case has a case structure which holds the electronic device and a flexible top cover portion capable of forming a rolled portion that elevates the case structure when the case is supported in the wearer's lap and used when the wearer is sitting. The top cover, or a releasable bottom piece, may be rolled to form a rolled portion for use as an elevating device in sitting work platform position. A strap arrangement for the case permits a wearer to support the case over his shoulder to transport the device, or to position the case in a generally horizontal position in front of and against the abdominal area of the wearer. The case is particularly suited to persons who choose to compute without the aid of a desk or a table, for example, while commuting or traveling, or for those who must compute on their feet, for example, by persons who inventory goods, like moving personnel who inventory the goods located on a premises in preparation for packing and shipping the goods, by persons conducting retail invoicing and pricing, and by census takers, building inspectors and insurance adjustors.
