Apparatus for supporting one or more myriad objects and method of using same

A stand for a device, comprising:

• a generally rectangular bottom having an upper side;
• the bottom being substantially flat except for a stopper of a generally rectangular shape disposed along a shorter side of the upper side of the bottom;
• the stopper having a length substantially the same as the length of the shorter side of the bottom along which the stopper is disposed;
• the stopper having a width less than its length;
• the stopper having a thickness at least as thick as the combined thickness of the bottom and a top;
• a first piece of positioning material disposed on at least a part of the upper side of the bottom between the stopper and a line on the upper side of the bottom that is underneath and substantially parallel to a fold line on the top;
• the top being substantially rectangular and flat, sized substantially the same as the upper side of the bottom not covered by the stopper, and positioned on top of the upper side of the bottom not covered by the stopper when in a closed position for the top;
• the top having an upper side and an under side;
• a second piece of positioning material disposed at least on a part of the under side of the top between a short side of the top adjacent to the stopper and a line on the under side of the top underneath and substantially parallel to the fold line on the upper side of the top;
• the under side of the top being connected to the upper side of the bottom between the short side of the top opposite to its short side adjacent to the stopper and the line on the under side of the top underneath and substantially parallel to the fold line on the upper side of the top;
• the fold line being scored into the upper side of the top with the fold line being generally parallel to and between the short sides of the top so that at least a portion of the unconnected part of the top is selectively moveable away from its closed position atop the bottom to an open position, and so that the portion of the unconnected part of the top bends along the fold line to expose at least a part of the second piece of positioning material on the under side of the top when the top is in its open position,
• whereby the device may be positioned between the bottom and the unconnected top in its open position by having one part of the device placed on a portion of the first piece of positioning material on the upper side of the bottom, and by having another part of the device placed against a portion of the second piece of positioning material on the under side of the unconnected top in its open position.
