Claim:
A storage system comprising: (a) a housing ( 110 ) divided into a first half housing ( 110 a ) telescopically received in a second half housing ( 110 b ), the first half housing ( 110 a ) and the second half housing ( 110 b ) together form an inner cavity adapted to house a music player, the housing ( 110 ) can move between at least a storage position and an extended position, in the storage position the first half housing ( 110 a ) and the second half housing ( 110 b ) are compressed together and in the extended position the first half housing ( 110 a ) and the second half housing ( 110 b ) are separated a maximum distance allowing a music player to be housed in the inner cavity, the housing ( 110 ) can be secured in the extended position via a securing means; (b) a first door ( 140 a ) pivotally disposed in a first front panel ( 115 a ) of the first half housing ( 110 a ), and a second door ( 140 b ) pivotally disposed in a second front panel ( 115 b ) of the second half housing ( 110 b ), the doors ( 140 ) can each move between at least an open position and a closed position respectively allowing and preventing access to the inner cavity of the housing ( 110 ); (c) a docking component ( 310 ) adapted to operatively connect to a music player, the docking component ( 310 ) is pivotally connected to a first bottom panel ( 114 a ) of the first half housing ( 110 a ) via a pivot point ( 350 ), the docking component ( 310 ) can pivot about the pivot point ( 350 ) between a first position and a second position, in the first position the docking component ( 310 ) is parallel with a length of the housing ( 110 ) and in the second position the docking component ( 310 ) is perpendicular to the length of the housing ( 110 ), the docking component ( 310 ) can be temporarily secured in the first position via a swiveling holder ( 360 ); (d) a speaker ( 210 ) disposed in the housing ( 110 ), the speaker ( 210 ) is operatively connected to the docking component ( 310 ); and (e) a power source operatively connected to at least the speaker ( 210 ), wherein the system ( 100 ) is waterproof.
