2. a slot for files and folders
3. a money clip to store a spare $10 or $20
4. a handle on this storage device so I can bring it in my house with me
5. a fold out work surface to take notes on
6. a cup holder, of course
7. a removeable cup/small container to store change and small parts
8. a 6"x4"x6" compartment, water tight, that can store my lunch or drinks along with a gel ice pack thingy that keeps my food and drink cold.

So... each morning, I would pack this thing up for the day and take it with me. It would have my files, my supplies, and my lunch in it.

Many people use their cars and trucks as their mobile offices. This would be a great product.

Hmm, we were thinking that it would be more of a permanent fixture in the car, but the portability idea seems quite awesome. I don't know that much about modifying the internals of cars (yet, i will by the end of this project) but do you think it should replace the center console? Or sit on top of it? Or maybe have some way to attach it to the floor?
