         12 . A chair caddy comprising:
 a panel comprising a top surface, a back surface, a longitudinal dimension between a first end of the panel and a second end of the panel, and a width dimension;   a first pocket attached to the first panel end; and,   a second pocket attached to the second panel end;   wherein the longitudinal dimension is between 30 cm and 60 cm, and longitudinal dimension is at least 2-fold the width dimension; and,   wherein the back surface comprises a frictional material.   
     
     
         13 . The caddy of  claim 12 , wherein the frictional material comprises a rubber or a silicone. 
     
     
         14 . The caddy of  claim 12 , wherein the frictional material has a static frictional coefficient of at least 0.6 or more on a smooth metal surface. 
     
     
         15 . The caddy of  claim 12 , wherein the longitudinal dimension is about 40 cm and the width is about 20 cm. 
     
     
         16 . The caddy of  claim 12 , further comprising a first handle mounted at about a back intersection of the panel and first pocket; and, a second handle mounted at about a back intersection of the panel and second pocket. 
     
     
         17 . The caddy of  claim 16 , having folded so as to bring the first and second handles adjacent so they can be grasped at once by a single hand. 
     
     
         18 . The caddy of  claim 12 , further comprising a shoulder strap attached to opposite ends of the intersection of the panel with the first or second pocket. 
     
     
         19 . The caddy of  claim 12 , resting on a seat of a chair with the panel back surface in contact with a seat of the chair, and with the first and second pockets hanging over opposite edges of the seat.
