Disclosed are stylized leash cases containing an automatic retracting system with an attached leash and collar coupler, with the capability to secure the collar coupler into a columnar housing, thus allowing a pet owner to leave the leash case attached to a pet collar, thereby providing both an emergency leash and a safe leash with no or minimal danger to the pet from external hazards. Various stylized leash case designs are possible, including an elliptical style (e.g., oval), a dog bone style, and other stylized leash case designs.
