Abstract
The device provides a quick release holding capability. The holder apparatus include a top plate attachment for the portable handheld-size device and a base plate mounted on a variety of surfaces via means that include but not limited to: brackets, screws, rivets, etc. Asymmetrical turn lock mechanism in conjunction with magnetic locks prevents accidental release. It also has additional feature where the portable device can be turned 360 degrees in increments of 90 degree angles activating magnetic locks in each 90 degree position.

A portable device holder which allows operation of a handheld-size device attached thereto comprising:
- an incrementally rotatable platform attachable to the device, a base which releasably attaches to the platform with an asymmetrical turn lock mechanism that provides a range of rotation of the platform with respect to the base, and pairs of magnets located one of each pair on the platform and an other of each pair on the base, said magnets exhibiting a magnetic force that provides a plurality of user-selectable positions each corresponding to a respective increment of rotation of the platform with respect to the base.
