When traveling, especially when in different hotels on different nights, it is easy to scatter one's possessions and lose track of them. This item allows you to keep your small possessions in one place and know where everything is, like change, bills, credit cards, and keys, upon returning to the room or waking up. It is inexpensive, well made, and well-designed, and it unsnaps to a perfectly flat item which would take up very little room in your luggage. If in a hurry in the AM, having everything in one place would save time and allow exiting the room in a flash. For disorganized people, this would be a valuable method of knowing where everything is.
