Abstract
A portable insulated case is provided which has insulative properties and which can function as a so-called cooler in order to help maintain a temperature within the container which is lower than room temperature. Such devices can also be used for maintaining a warmed environment. The top panel of the case has at least one receptacle or pocket depending from it and into the container. This receptacle closely holds a can, bottle or the like. The case thus functions as a holder for an open drink can, for example, while also having an externally accessible receptacle which assists in keeping it cool or warm as the case may be.
