Abstract
A portable storage device includes the plurality of collapsible walls, each pair of adjacent walls connected by a latch. Each latch can be selectively actuated from both the inside and the outside of the container. Preferably, the latch includes a recess into which the adjacent wall is disposed when the latch is in the latched position. Preferably, the latch is unlatched by flexing the latch away from the adjacent wall by application of force on an inner release surface, inward of the recess or by application of force on an outer release surface, outward of the recess.
