Multi-purpose interface for a portable electronic device

A multi-purpose band for use with a portable electronic device comprising:

• a base link, an interface link, and a coupling link, the base link being joined to the interface link by an interface support hinge, the coupling link being joined among the base link, and the interface link;
• the multi-purpose band being configured to be arranged in a band configuration, for wearing on a wrist or ankle of a user, and in a stand configuration for supporting the portable electronic device at a support angle, the support angle being defined between the base link and the interface link;
• the interface link defining an interface surface;
• the base link defining a base inner surface, the interface link defining an interface inner surface, and the coupling link defining a coupling inner surface;
• the base inner surface, the interface inner surface, and the coupling inner surface defining, when arranged in the band configuration, a passage that extends through the multi-purpose band, the passage being sized to facilitate wearing the multi-purpose band on the wrist or ankle.
