1. An apparatus comprising: a suitcase that includes a container section having a base panel, a top panel spaced from said base panel, and a plurality of side panels extending from said base panel around a storage space for receiving items disposed between said top panel and said base panel, said base panel and said top panels having a width and a length, and each said side panel having a width, which is shorter than the length and the width of said base and top panels;a first support arrangement residing at one side of said suitcase and is selectively transformable from an extended state to a stored state and from a stored state to an extended state without interfering with said storage space; anda second support arrangement residing at another side of said suitcase opposite said one side and is selectively transformable from an extended state to a stored state and from a stored state to an extended state without interfering with said storage space;wherein each said support arrangement comprises a frame that includes two spaced elongated legs that are connected to one another by a connector and a compliant body that is detachably connectable to said connector; andfurther comprising a roller mechanism associated with each compliant body, each roller mechanism including a roller body, wherein each said compliant body is rolled around said roller body in said stored state; wherein said roller mechanism is adjacent said storage space and includes a housing element that separates said roller mechanism from said storage space, and wherein each said compliant body is accessible and retractable from said storage space through a respective slot. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a first longitudinally extending support and a second longitudinally extending support, each having two opposite open ends leading into a hollow interior, wherein each longitudinally extending support receives in said interior thereof a respective leg of a frame from one end thereof. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a first longitudinally extending support and a second longitudinally extending support, each having two opposite open ends leading into a hollow interior, wherein each longitudinally extending support receives in said interior thereof a respective leg of a frame from one end thereof, and wherein said legs of said first support is receivable in the interior of said legs of said second support. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each said slot is located between one of said side panels and a base panel. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein each said roller is located inside said storage space closer to said base panel than said top panel. 6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein each said roller is located closer to said base panel than said top panel. 7. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said support arrangement, in its extended state, provides support and is located at a side of said base panel. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each said support arrangement, in its extended state, provides support and is located at a respective side of said base panel. 9. An apparatus comprising: a suitcase that includes a container section having a base panel, a top panel spaced from said base panel, and a plurality of side panels extending from said base panel and disposed around a storage space for receiving items disposed between said top panel and said base panel; andat least one support mechanism residing at one side of said suitcase that includes in an extended state a support surface, said at least one support mechanism being configured for change from said extended state to a stored state without interfering with said storage space;wherein said support mechanism comprises a frame that includes two spaced elongated legs extendable from inside said suitcase, said legs are connected to one another by a connector and a compliant body that is detachably connectable to said connector, andfurther comprising a roller mechanism associated with said compliant body, said roller mechanism including a roller body, wherein said compliant body is rolled around said roller body in said stored state; wherein said roller mechanism is adjacent said storage space and includes a housing element that separates said roller mechanism from said storage space, and wherein said compliant body is accessible and retractable from said storage space through a slot. 10. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising another support mechanism residing at another side of said suitcase opposite said one side, said at least one support mechanism being configured for change from said extended state to a stored state without interfering with said storage space. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a first longitudinally extending support and a second longitudinally extending support, each having two opposite open ends leading into a hollow interior, wherein each longitudinally extending support receives in said interior thereof a respective leg of a frame from one end thereof, and wherein said legs of said first support is receivable in the interior of said legs of said second support. 12. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising a first longitudinally extending support and a second longitudinally extending support, each having an open end leading into a hollow interior, wherein each longitudinally extending support receives in said interior thereof a respective leg of a frame from the open end thereof. 13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said compliant body is retractable by said roller mechanism through a slot defined in one of said panels. 14. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said compliant body is retractable by said roller mechanism through the slot. 15. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said first and second longitudinally extending supports reside on a surface of said base panel. 16. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said first and second longitudinally extending supports reside on an interior surface of said base panel. 17. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein said slot is located between one of said side panels and a base panel.
