Abstract
An accessory that attaches to an electronic multimedia device 1 (FIG. 1) such as an E-Reader, where the user slips a hand under an elastic material 2 (FIG. 1) to receive support while holding said device. This accessory allows a more comfortable and secure multimedia experience even allowing navigation with the same hand that holds said device. An optional attachment (FIG. 4) fits around this accessory without obstructing its hand-support functionality while retracted, and opens at variable angles to support said device on a working surface for hands-free viewing at continuously selectable angles (FIG. 6).
