My laptop bag, what's this for?

[micky]

I have an old Targus laptop carrying case, hangs from my shoulder with a
strap, and on the strap is another little container the size and shape
of 2 of my larger fingers. It closes with velcro at the top end.

I can't figure out what it's for.

Maybe an early very little phone would fit but it woudn't be very handy.
The same bag has an opening to the main bag for headphone wires.

Well it could be for holding a rolled up set of earbuds. My first thought
was one or two USB sticks.

You're right. That's not clear.

>little compartment? How do you know the opening is for headphone wires?

I mean the big bag. It has a rubber "door", sliced like a pizza pie
(except around the circumference) and that has embossed on it the image
of headphones.

Hmm. Maybe. I was going to take it off if you guys didn't come up with
a good use, but maybe you have.

Thanks and thanks, Major.

Camera bag with 35 film canister holder?

[Piet]

I presume the OP knows what he's talking about when he speaks
about a "laptop carrying case".

I have a real old USB stick of 256 MB (wow! ;-)) that measures
8x2.5x1 cm. So if the case is that old too, my guess would be
the "little container" is for a USB stick.
