== Types ==

* A '''portfolio''' is a handleless case for carrying in the hand or under the arm.
* A '''folio case''' is a portfolio with a retractable handle.
* An '''attaché case''' (or sometimes called diplomat case) is a box-style case characteristically made of leather fitted over an internal hinged frame that opens into two compartments. It was traditionally carried by an ''[[attaché]]'', a diplomatic officer attached to an embassy or consulate officially assigned to serve in a particular capacity (e.g., [[cultural attaché]]; [[military attaché]]). Frameless aluminum is also used.  In recent years, leather pouches (usually slightly larger than a sheet of [[A4 paper]]) with a zipper sealed compartment have been referred to as attachés or poche document holders.{{citation needed|date=October 2019}}
