providing a sleeve having an opening adapted to at least partially encapsulate a tray table, wherein the sleeve has a fastener on a top side thereof and a pouch on a bottom side thereof to enable a user to access the pouch's contents when the tray table is in an upright closed position, wherein the sleeve is unitary and is sealed at three sides thereof and the opening is on its fourth side;
advancing the tray table cover around the tray table to at least partially encapsulate the tray table;
attaching a prop-up tray's corresponding fastener to the sleeve's fastener, the prop-up tray's corresponding fastener positioned on a bottom side thereof, such that the sleeve, when the tray table is in a use position, simultaneously engages and encapsulates the tray table while the prop-up tray is removably attachable to the sleeve
providing sets of fasteners on each corner of the prop-up tray; and
connecting each respective set of fasteners on the prop-up tray's corners, and, upon connecting each set of fasteners, sides of the prop-up tray prop upward relative to the prop-up tray's flat base to create an exterior barrier to a center area of the prop-up tray, while the prop-up tray is simultaneously removably attachable to the sleeve wherein the prop-up tray covers a larger surface area relative to the sleeve, such that the prop-up tray, when its sets of fasteners are unfastened, extends beyond a perimeter of the sleeve.
