The present invention relates generally to organizers. More specifically, the present invention relates to a magnetic utility or workout organizer system.
During normal routines and activities, people carry around a number of items such as tablets, phones, drinks, and writing utensils that they may use during the course of those activities. Some of these items do not fit into a pocket and some routines such as weightlifting, do not allow a person to have these items in their pockets. Most of the time, during these routines and activities there is no designated place for a person to set their items, therefore most time these items end up on the floor or in random locations.
Further these activities may require the person to continually move or change locations. With each move, the person is required to collect all of their items, move to the next location and set them back down. Many of these personal items are delicate or valuable, so setting these items on the floor or other random locations is not ideal.
Therefore, there is a need for a system that holds and organizes a person's items during normal routines and activities.
The present invention is an organizer system, having a number of compartments or pockets to store, organize, and carry a person's items. The compartments or pockets of the present invention have varying sizes that allow a person to store a wide variety of items such as notebooks, tablets, phones, beverages, and writing utensils. With these items stored in their respective compartment, a person may easily access each item. This organization and easy access helps a person to quickly and easily perform tasks such as writing down notes, taking a phone call, or getting a drink.
The organizer system is further comprised of a magnet which enables it to magnetically attach to surfaces such as gym equipment, refrigerators, cars, or metal walls or roofs. Further, the present invention is designed to stand up straight on any flat surface.
Further, the organizer system is able to safely store and carry delicate or expensive items. The ability to store and carry all of their items within the present invention allows a person to easily and safely store and move their items during their normal routines and activities, such as weightlifting, working out, construction, automotive repair, tailgating, or at the beach.
