## Abstract

Mounting apparatuses, electronic device holders, and components of electronic device holders are shown and described herein. A mounting apparatus is removably connected to an object and the electronic device holder. The electronic device holder is configured to hold an electronic device and has one or more of an adaptor, a movable stand, and one or more portions of a backside thereof that are either clear or removed. The adaptor is removable from the electronic device holder for removal and replacement thereof with one or more additional, different adaptors.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system to support an electronic device, comprising:
an electronic device holder to hold the electronic device; and
a movable stand arranged on a back side of said electronic device holder, said movable stand being configured to be releasably coupled to a mount and movable to at least two different holdable positions, one of the at least two different holdable positions being outward from said electronic device holder and to support said electronic device holder in a corresponding viewing angle,
wherein said movable stand is configured to allow movement of said electronic device holder relative to the mount when said movable stand is releasably coupled to the mount to change at least one of a viewing angle and a viewing orientation of said electronic device holder.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1,
wherein said movable stand is immovable when releasably coupled to the mount.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, further comprising an adaptor removably coupleable to said electronic device holder.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The system according to claim 3,
wherein said adaptor is configured to be removably coupleable only to said electronic device holder.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The system according to claim 3,
wherein said adaptor is configured to be removably coupleable to said electronic device holder and coupleable to a cover to cover a front side of said electronic device holder.

### Claim 6 (depends on 3)

The system according to claim 3, further comprising said mount, said mount being different than said adaptor.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1,
wherein the at least two positions are predefined in terms in relation to movement of said movable stand.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system according to claim 7,
wherein a first predefined position is based on rotational movement about a central axis of said movable stand.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system according to claim 8,
wherein the first predefined position for said movable stand provides for said movable stand to be in at least landscape and portrait orientations.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1,
wherein the at least two positions are undefined, and
wherein said movable stand is removably coupled to said electronic device holder.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The system according to claim 10,
wherein the undefined movement for said movable stand provides for said movable stand to be in at least landscape and portrait orientations.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1,
wherein said movable stand is configured to be releasably coupled to the mount in one of only in a fully open position of a support leg of said moveable stand and an open or extended position of the support leg.

### Claim 13

An electronic device holder to hold an electronic device, comprising:
a body including a back side and a front side having a coupling mechanism to receive and hold a first portion of the electronic device; and
an adaptor removably coupled to a side portion of said body, said adaptor being configured to receive and hold a second portion of the electronic device,
wherein said body is configured to be removably coupled to a plurality of different said adaptors.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The electronic device holder according to claim 13,
wherein said adaptor is configured to be removably coupleable only to said body.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The electronic device holder according to claim 13, further comprising a cover,
wherein said adaptor is configured to be coupled to said cover such that said cover is rotatable about a hinge at the coupling so as to be rotatable to cover the front side of said body.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The electronic device holder according to claim 15,
wherein the side portion of said body is a top side portion of said body, and
wherein said adaptor is removably coupled to said cover.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The electronic device holder according to claim 15,
wherein said adaptor is fixedly coupled to said cover.

### Claim 18 (depends on 13)

The electronic device holder according to claim 13, further comprising a movable stand formed on the back side of said body.

### Claim 19 (depends on 18)

The electronic device holder according to claim 18,
wherein the back side of said body includes at least one portion adjacent to said movable stand that is either clear or removed.

### Claim 20 (depends on 18)

The electronic device holder according to claim 18,
wherein said movable stand is configured to be releasably coupled to a mounting apparatus, said adaptor being configured to be removably coupled to the mounting apparatus.
