         8 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a cutout section in the first portion proximate and edge of the first portion and proximate the storage section utilized to access the storage section.  
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first, second, and third portions are coupled with adhesive material.  
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion comprises a foam material.  
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises a plastic material.  
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the second portion comprises a cardboard material.  
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the third portion comprises a rubber material.  
     
     
         14 . A computer mouse interaction device, the device comprising: 
 a first portion comprising a friction surface that receives a mouse;    a second portion comprising a friction surface that interacts with a surface supporting the computer mouse interaction device;    adhesive areas on the first and second portions that receive adhesive material used to couple the first and second portions together; and    a storage section defined between the adhesive areas after the first and second portions are coupled, the storage section being accessible from a side of the device.    
     
     
         15 . A computer mouse interaction device, the device comprising: 
 a first portion comprising flexible material and friction surface that receives a mouse;    a second portion comprising rigid material coupled to the first portion;    a third portion comprising a rigid material and first, second, and third elongated, parallel extensions, the third portion being coupled to the second portion;    a fourth portion comprising flexible material and a friction surface that interacts with a surface of a support device, the fourth portion being coupled to the third portion; and    a storage section.    
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the first, second, third, and fourth portions are coupled with adhesive material.  
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the storage section is formed by the coupling of the second, third, and fourth portions.  
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the first and second extensions run proximate opposite edges of the third portion and the third extension runs along a central axis of the third portion.
