1. A retractor carrying device configured to carry a portable device, the retractor carrying device comprising:
- a carrying case comprising a back panel and a front sleeve coupled to the back panel, the carrying case defining a pouch configured to receive the portable device through an opening in the carrying case;
a retractor assembly coupled to the carrying case, the retractor assembly configured to tether the portable device to the carrying case, the retractor assembly comprising;
a retractable tensile member having a proximal end and a distal end, the retractable tensile member configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position;
a spring coupled to the proximal end of the retractable tensile member, the spring configured to bias the retractable tensile member into the retracted position; and
an end fitting coupled to the distal end of the retractable tensile member, the end fitting configured to be detachably connected to the portable devicean interior shell; and
an exterior shell coupled to the interior shell through an opening in the back panel; and
a tensile closure mechanism configured to extend across the opening to selectively retain the portable device in the pouch.

Abstract
A retractor carrying device is configured to carry a portable device. In one embodiment, the retractor carrying case includes a carrying case defining a pouch configured to receive the portable device through an opening in the carrying case. The retractor carrying case also includes a retractor assembly coupled to the carrying case and a tensile closure mechanism. The retractor assembly is configured to tether the portable device to the carrying case. The tensile closure mechanism is configured to extend across the opening in the carrying case to selectively retain the portable device in the pouch of the carrying case.
