## Abstract

A stand to support mobile devices has a base to which panels are attached. The panels are angularly oriented with respect to the base and each has a slot adapted to receive the mobile device. The panels may be integrally formed with the base or may be attached by hinges having detents or springs to support the panels in a desired orientation.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A stand for supporting an electronic device, said stand consisting of:
a base having first and second sides oppositely disposed from one another;
a first panel having a first side integrally formed with said first side of said base and a second side oppositely disposed, said first panel being oriented at a first fixed angle with respect to said base;
a first slot positioned in said first panel, said first slot extending from said second side of said first panel toward said first side of said first panel, said first slot being adapted to receive and support said electronic device;
a second panel having a first side integrally formed with said second side of said base and a second side oppositely disposed, said second panel being oriented at a second fixed angle with respect to said base;
a second slot positioned in said second panel, said second slot extending from said second side of said second panel toward said first side of said second panel, said second slot being adapted to receive and support said electronic device;
wherein said first and second panels being oriented at first and second fixed angles with respect to said base are non-movable once said stand is fabricated, said first and second fixed angles ranging from 30 to 150 degrees.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The stand according to claim 1, wherein said first and second sides of said base are oriented parallel to one another and said first and second slots are aligned with one another along a line oriented perpendicular to said first and second sides of said base.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The stand according to claim 1, wherein said base consists of a plate having a rectangular shape defined by two oppositely disposed long sides and two oppositely disposed short sides.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The stand according to claim 3, wherein said first and second sides consist of said long sides.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The stand according to claim 4, wherein said first and second panels consist of respective plates, each having a rectangular shape.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The stand according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of said base or at least a portion of said first or second panels are covered by a substrate.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The stand according to claim 1, further consisting of a mirror mounted on said base.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The stand according to claim 1, further consisting of a storage space on said base positioned between said first and second panels.
