Claim 11:
12. A wearable assembly comprising:
a temperature-controlled device comprising:
a housing;
a controllable temperature element having a first surface and a second surface inside the housing, the controllable temperature element configured to generate cooling and heating, wherein the first surface opposes the second surface;
a heat sink disposed adjacent to the first surface of the controllable temperature element inside the housing, the heat sink having a surface area greater than the first surface of the controllable temperature element;
a fan disposed adjacent to the heat sink inside the housing and configured to direct heat away from the heat sink, wherein the fan is configured to pull outside air into the housing;
a heat spreader comprising one side and another side, wherein the one side is exposed outside the housing to contact a user's body part, wherein the another side includes a padded liner disposed inside the housing, the heat spreader being configured to receive thermal energy from the controllable temperature element, wherein the padded liner is arranged to surround the controllable temperature element, and wherein the second surface of the controllable temperature element is in contact with the another side of the heat spreader; and
a support member configured to support at least one battery, the heat sink, and the fan; and

a strap case configured to be assembled to the temperature-controlled device, the strap case comprising:
a center opening through which the heat spreader extends on a bottom side; and
