In order to serve different functions, the clip panel 49 itself may take many forms and shapes, including but not limited to a white board, bottle opener, a clasp (to grab and support a phone or tablet), a watch piece or clock, or a light. These items can be the clip itself, or attached to the clip panel using magnets, glue, Velcro, or a specifically shaped insert to lock into a receiving piece on various items. The clip can further include a specially shaped insert to lock into a receiving indentation in a cell phone or tablet case, an LCD screen, TV screen, or other Computer screen that can play movies, display pictures, be a phone/smart device display, etc. Further, utilizing the release configuration, the different clips can be interchangeable by removing the metal bar 43 from the hinge 42 and interchanging the different clips from the available clip display configurations. All interchangeable clips would incorporate a design to mate with the mechanical assembly 40 to allow the interchangeable alternative clip designs to be attached to the collar 20.
The clips may also be interchangeable using the ruggedized clip panel. The ruggedized clip panel is a second clip panel that attaches to the original clip panel 49. The original clip panel 49 slides into the ruggedized and snaps into place. The second clip panel allows for the user to permanently attach one of the many forms or shapes of the clip panel on an interchangeable surface, allowing the user to utilize different objects while using the same base clip panel 49.
