Abstract
Stands for mobile communication devices are provided. In one embodiment, a stand for a mobile communication device includes a backing adapted to at least partially cover a back side of a mobile communication device. The backing has a cutout portion formed by at least one inner edge of the backing. The stand also includes a support flap pivotably coupled to the at least one inner edge of the backing. The support flap is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. The cutout portion of the backing receives the support flap when the support flap is in the retracted position. The support flap is adapted to support the mobile communication device in a standing position when the support flap is in the extended position.

A stand for a mobile communication device, the stand comprising:
- a backing adapted to at least partially cover a back side of a mobile communication device, the backing comprising a cutout portion formed by at least one inner edge of the backing;
- and
- a support flap pivotably coupled to the at least one inner edge of the backing, the support flap movable between a retracted position and an extended position, the cutout portion of the backing receiving the support flap when the support flap is in the retracted position, the support flap adapted to support the mobile communication device in a standing position when the support flap is in the extended position.
A stand for a mobile communication device, the stand comprising:
- a backing adapted to at least partially cover a back side of a mobile communication device when the backing is coupled to the mobile communication device, the backing having a cutout portion formed by at least one inner edge of the backing;
- a backing traction material covering at least one side of the backing;
- a support flap pivotably coupled to the at least one inner edge of the backing, the support flap movable between a retracted position and an extended position, the support flap at least partially entering the cutout portion when the support flap is in the retracted position, the support flap adapted to support the mobile communication device in a standing position when the support flap is in the extended position;
- and
- a support flap traction material covering at least one edge of the support flap.
A stand for a mobile communication device, the stand comprising:
- a backing adapted to at least partially cover a back side of a mobile communication device, the backing comprising a pin docking notch and a top inner edge forming a protruding tip;
- a support flap pivotably coupled to the backing, the support flap movable between a retracted position and an extended position, the support flap adapted to support the mobile communication device in a standing position when the support flap is in the extended position, the support flap comprising a proximal edge comprising a tubular joint, the tubular joint forming a longitudinal hole and comprising a plurality of longitudinal humps on the outer surface of the tubular joint, the plurality of longitudinal humps forming a plurality of longitudinal grooves, the protruding tip engagable with the plurality of longitudinal grooves;
- and
- a pin, a first portion of the pin within the longitudinal hole formed by the tubular joint, a second portion of the pin within the pin docking notch of the backing;
- wherein the tubular joint is rotatable around the pin;
- and
- wherein the support flap is securable into one of the retracted position, the extended position, or an intermediate position between the retracted position and the extended position when the protruding tip is engaged with one of the plurality of longitudinal grooves.
