Claims (22)

1. A portable video system comprising: a video unit for facilitating play of a video medium; a display pivotally attached to the video unit; and a base unit secured to a substrate for selectively coupling a control panel of the video unit to the substrate, wherein the control panel can be selectively un-coupled from the base unit, and the substrate is a bag for housing the video player and the display, the bag having four adjustable straps for suspending the bag, each strap respectively projecting at an angle with respect to each corner of the bag, wherein each strap is secured to the bag only at or adjacent to a single corner of the bag, and wherein the control panel of the video unit is coupled to the base unit using a pressure fitting mechanism, wherein the pressure fitting mechanism comprises a channel formed in the base unit, and a rib formed on the control panel, wherein the rib fits into the channel to form the pressure fit.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a ventilation panel disposed on a side panel of the bag,

wherein the ventilation panel facilitates air circulation throughout the bag.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a flap cover disposed on the bag,

a second fastener disposed on an upper portion of a panel on the bag,

wherein the first and second fasteners engage each other when the flap cover is in the opened position.

5. A portable video system comprising: a video unit for facilitating play of a video medium; a display pivotally attached to the video unit; and a base unit secured to a substrate for selectively coupling a control panel of the video unit to the substrate, wherein the control panel can be selectively un-coupled from the base unit, and the substrate is a bag for housing the video player and the display, the bag having four adjustable straps for suspending the bag, each strap respectively projecting at an angle with respect to each corner of the bag, wherein the first strap extends from a single vertical post of a headrest of a first seat to a first corner of the bag, the second strap extends from a single vertical post of a headrest of a second seat to a second corner of the bag, the third strap extends from a bottom portion of the first seat to a third corner of the bag, and the fourth strap extends from a bottom portion of the second seat to a fourth corner of the bag, and wherein the control panel of the video unit is coupled to the base unit using a pressure fitting mechanism, wherein the pressure fitting mechanism comprises a channel formed in the base unit, and a rib formed on the control panel, wherein the rib fits into the channel to form the pressure fit.

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising:

a ventilation panel disposed on a side panel of the bag,

wherein the ventilation panel facilitates air circulation throughout the bag.

7. The system of claim 5 , further comprising:

a flap cover disposed on the bag,

wherein the flap cover covers the display while in a closed position and exposes the display while in an opened position.

8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

a first fastener disposed on an upper surface of the flap cover; and
