Carry Case (Bag) Styles
All models of Bag Phones were available with three different styles of bag in which to be contained. The most common bag was a small, flimsy, low-profile bag, with a compartment to the right of the handset in which to contain the transceiver and battery, and a flap that folded over the entire top of the bag and fastened closed with Velcro when not in use. A less common, more upright bag was more sturdy, and featured the handset above the compartment containing the transceiver and battery, with a flap that folded over the top and fastened with Velcro. The highest end bag was known by Motorola's documentation as the "Attaché Carry Case", and it was in fact more like a case than a bag, featuring internal cardboard, making it very sturdy. Opening like a suitcase, it featured on the left side of the case the handset, with the transceiver/battery compartment to the right of it (the same configuration as the "flimsy" bag). On the right side of the case was a pocket to hold the user manuals (and any other papers) plus a smaller pocket below it, and a tiny pocket above it. In the center of the case was an elastic loop in which the antenna or a pen could be stored. To close, the Attaché case was folded, then zippered. Although it featured the Motorola logo on the side, carriers of Bag Phones with the Attaché case such as Sprint Cellular often had their own logo sewn on top.
The 2900 was available only with the Attaché Carry Case, and the Meteor was available only with the upright bag.

Famous quotes containing the words carry, case and/or styles:
“They have given us into the hand of new unhappy lords,
Lords without anger and honour, who dare not carry their swords.
They fight by shuffling papers; they have bright dead alien eyes;
They look at our labour and laughter as a tired man looks at flies.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“[The boss] asked me if I was not interested in a change in my life. I answered that one can never change lives, that in any case all lives were the same, and that I was not at all unhappy with mine.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“... it is use, and use alone, which leads one of us, tolerably trained to recognize any criterion of grace or any sense of the fitness of things, to tolerate ... the styles of dress to which we are more or less conforming every day of our lives. Fifty years hence they will seem to us as uncultivated as the nose-rings of the Hottentot seem today.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
