A clip for removably and releasably securing an item onto a structure may include a singular, elongated body with an interior portion forming a cavity on the bottom end of the elongated body. The cavity may be sized and shaped to receive an edge of the structure for removably securing the clip to the structure. The clip may include a pushing surface sized and shaped for a user to removably secure the clip on the edge of the structure. The clip may also include a first set of two or more tabs disposed along the side portions of the elongated body and projected out at an acute angle, the first set of two or more tabs sized and shaped to provide a gripping surface on the side portions of the elongated body for the user to pull the clip off of the edge of the structure.

1. A clip for removably and releasably securing an item onto a structure, the clip comprising: a singular, elongated body having a first end, a second end, a top end, a bottom end, and side portions disposed between the top end and the bottom end;an interior portion forming a cavity on the bottom en
1. A clip for removably and releasably securing an item onto a structure, the clip comprising: a singular, elongated body having a first end, a second end, a top end, a bottom end, and side portions disposed between the top end and the bottom end;an interior portion forming a cavity on the bottom end of the elongated body and extending between the first end and the second end, the cavity sized and shaped to receive an edge of the structure for removably securing the clip to the structure;a pushing surface formed on the top end of the elongated body; anda first set of two or more tabs forming angled surfaces extending from the pushing surface and disposed along the side portions of the elongated body, the angled surfaces projected out from the side portions at an acute angle, the first set of two or more tabs sized and shaped to provide a gripping surface on the side portions of the elongated body for the user to pull to widen the cavity for securing the clip onto the edge of the structure and to grip to pull the clip off of the edge of the structure. 2. The clip of claim 1, where the elongated body comprises an interior member made of a first material and an exterior coating made of a second material substantially surrounding the interior member, the first material having a greater hardness than the second material. 3. The clip of claim 2, where ends of the side portions adjacent to the cavity of the elongated body are separated by a first distance when no forces are applied to the clip, and where the first material and the second material each comprise an elasticity selected such that the ends of the side portions are structurally configured to be widened to a second distance greater than the first distance to accept the edge of the structure within the cavity and to substantially return to the first distance when removed from the edge of the structure. 4. The clip of claim 2, where the first material comprises a metal. 5. The clip of claim 4, where the second material comprises one or more of a plastic and an elastomer. 6. The clip of claim 4, where the first material comprises one or more of manganese steel and a shape memory alloy. 7. The clip of claim 1, further comprising a second set of two or more tabs disposed on at least one of the top end of the elongated body and the bottom end of the elongated body. 8. The clip of claim 7, where the first set of two or more tabs and the second set of two or more tabs are positioned to allow a user to simultaneously grab tabs from both the first set and the second set for use as the gripping surface to secure the clip onto the edge of the structure and to pull the clip off of the edge of the structure. 9. The clip of claim 7, where the second set of two or more tabs is disposed on the top end of the elongated body, the clip further comprising a third set of two or more tabs disposed on the bottom end of the elongated body. 10. The clip of claim 9, where the first set of two or more tabs, the second set of two or more tabs, and the third set of two or more tabs are positioned to allow a user to simultaneously grab each of the first set, the second set, and the third set for use as the gripping surface to secure the clip onto the edge of the structure and to pull the clip off of the edge of the structure. 11. The clip of claim 1, where each tab in the first set of two or more tabs is projected out substantially from the widest dimension of the side portions of the elongated body. 12. The clip of claim 1, where each tab in the first set of two or more tabs is projected out substantially from a central location of the side portions of the elongated body. 13. The clip of claim 1, where each tab in the first set of two or more tabs is disposed along an entire length of the elongated body. 14. The clip of claim 1, where the pushing surface comprises a substantially flat surface. 15. The clip of claim 14, further comprising one or more of text, numbering, or a design on the substantially flat surface. 16. The clip of claim 1, where a cross-section of the cavity viewed from one or more of the first end and the second end is substantially circular. 17. The clip of claim 1, where a cross-section of the cavity viewed from one or more of the first end and the second end is substantially polygonal. 18. The clip of claim 17, where the cross-section of the cavity is one of substantially square, substantially rectangular, or substantially triangular. 19. The clip of claim 1, further comprising a hook projected out from the elongated body from at least one of the top end, the bottom end, or one of the side portions. 20. The clip of claim 1, where the pushing surface is sized and shaped for the user to removably secure the clip on the edge of the structure by applying a force to the pushing surface.
