Holder for Electronic Device with Support

A support mechanism for a portable device, comprising:

• a body including a coupling portion configured to couple a portable device to the body;
• and
• a support movably coupled to the body, the support being movable between a retracted position and a fully extended position, the support including a base, a coupling member, and an arm, the coupling member being coupled to the base at a first joint and to the arm at a second joint, the arm being coupled to the base at a third joint, the arm has an engagement surface that engages the support surface when the arm is in an extended position, the support surface applying a force to the engagement surface when the arm contacts the support surface, the location of the applied force being at a distance greater than the distance between the second joint and the base through the entire range of movement of the arm between the retracted position and the fully extended position.

A support mechanism for a portable device, comprising:

• a body including a coupling portion configured to couple a portable device to the body;
• and
• a support rotatably coupled to the body such that the orientation of the support relative to the body can change to support the body and the portable device in different orientations relative to a support surface, the support being movable between a retracted position and at least two extended positions relative to the body, the support being engageable with the support surface when the support is in any of its extended positions and any of its orientations.

A support mechanism for a portable device, comprising:

• a body including a coupling portion configured to couple a portable device to the body;
• and
• a support movably coupled to the body, the support being movable between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the body, the support is substantially disposed within the body when the support is in its retracted position, the support being engageable with a support surface when the support is in its extended position, the support being disposable in a first orientation relative to the body and in a second orientation relative to the body, the body and the portable device being oriented differently relative to the support surface based on the orientation of the support.

A support mechanism for a portable device, comprising:

• a body including a coupling portion configured to couple a portable device to the body, the body being placeable on a support surface in a first body orientation and in a second body orientation, the body in its second body orientation being inverted as compared to the body in its first body orientation relative to the support surface;
• and
• a support movably coupled to the body, the support being movable between a retracted position and at least two extended positions relative to the body, the support being engageable with a support surface when the support is in one of its extended positions, the support being disposable in a first support orientation relative to the body and in a second support orientation relative to the body, the body and the portable device being oriented differently relative to the support surface based on whether the support is in its first support orientation or its second support orientation, the support remaining in its particular extended position and its particular support orientation when the body is moved between its first body orientation and its second body orientation.

A support mechanism for a portable device, comprising:

• a body including a coupling portion configured to couple a portable device to the body, the body including a cord management mechanism coupled thereto, the cord management mechanism being configured to have a cord connected to the portable device wrapped therearound;
• and
• a support movably coupled to the body, the support being movable between a retracted position and at least two extended positions relative to the body, the support being engageable with a support surface when the support is in one of its extended positions.

A support mechanism for a portable device, comprising:

• a body including a coupling portion configured to couple a portable device to the body, the body including a support movably coupled to the body;
• and
• the support being movable between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the body, the support being engageable with a support surface when the support is in its extended position, wherein the support is substantially disposable within the body when the support is in its retracted position, and the support is configured to have a cord wrapped therearound.

A support mechanism for a portable device, comprising:

• a body including a coupling portion configured to couple a portable device to the body, the body including a support movably coupled to the body;
• and
• the support being movable between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the body, the support being engageable with a support surface when the support is in its extended position, wherein the support is substantially disposable within the body when the support is in its retracted position, the support is coupleable to a support structure that is attachable to a user.
