         2 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the cover is pivoted on the base to be moved between a closed position, in which the cover contacts the base to close the room, and an open position, in which the cover is separated from the base to open the room. 
     
     
         3 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the base has a locking device, and the cover has a slot to be engaged with the locking device when the cover is moved to the closed position. 
     
     
         4 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 3 , further comprising a pressing member, wherein the base has a first recess on an edge side thereof and the locking device is provided on a bottom of the first recess, and the cover has a protrusion with the slot on a bottom, and the pressing member, which is provided in the first recess to be manipulated for movement, has a protrusion to move the protrusion when the pressing member is moved to disengage the locking device of the base from the slot of the cover. 
     
     
         5 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 4 , wherein the protrusion of the pressing member is flexible and is tiled relative to the cover to contact the bottom of the bottom of the slot of the base by a bottom thereof. 
     
     
         6 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 4 , wherein the base has at least a guiding slot, which has an end closed, on a sidewall of the first recess, and the pressing member has at least a protrusion to be engaged with the guiding slot to restrain the pressing member from moving away from the guiding slot. 
     
     
         7 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the base has a bore, and a pin is inserted into the bore when the cover is moved to the open position. 
     
     
         8 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 2 , wherein the base has a slot surrounding the room, the cover has a pressing face, and the sealing member is a flexible ring to be received in the slot and having opposite ends contacting a bottom of the slot and the pressing face of the cover when the cover is moved to the closed position, and a distance between the opposite ends of the sealing member is greater than a distance between the pressing face of the cover and the bottom of the slot of the base when the cover is moved to the closed position. 
     
     
         9 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 8 , wherein the distance between the opposite ends of the sealing member is greater than a depth of the slot of the base. 
     
     
         10 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein cover is substantially transparent and has a convex curved face. 
     
     
         11 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the base has at least a through hole, and the fastener is a belt passing through the through hole. 
     
     
         12 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the base has at least a through hole, and the fastener is a belt having an end fixed to the base and an opposite end passing through the through hole. 
     
     
         13 . The portable identification holder as defined in  claim 12 , further comprising a paw provided in the through hole of the base to be engaged with teeth of the belt.
