Stand for mobile device

A stand for a mobile device, comprising:

• a platform having:
• a front side that faces toward the mobile device when connected to the stand;
• a rear side opposite to the front side and facing away from the mobile device when connected to the stand;
• a first piece;
• and
• a second piece separate from the first piece;
• a flexible stand portion having:
• a sliding end portion configured to slide back and forth in a sliding direction;
• and
• a non-sliding end portion that rotates around a hinge portion,
• wherein the flexible stand portion is switchable between:
• a flat state, wherein the non-sliding end portion is arranged against the rear side of the platform and the sliding end portion is arranged at a first locking position, and
• a curved state, wherein the non-sliding end portion is rotated away from the rear side of the platform and the sliding end portion is arranged at a second locking position different from the first locking position so that the flexible stand portion bows outward to form the shape of a curve or arch,
• wherein the first piece has a second-piece engaging portion and a second-piece receiving portion, and
• wherein the second piece has:
• a first-piece receiving portion in which the second-piece engaging portion of the first piece is received and permanently arranged;
• and
• a first-piece engaging portion that is received by and permanently arranged in the second-piece receiving portion of the first piece.

A stand for a mobile device, comprising:

• a platform having:
• a front side that faces toward the mobile device when connected to the stand;
• a rear side opposite to the front side and facing away from the mobile device when connected to the stand;
• a first piece;
• and
• a second piece separate from the first piece, wherein a flat-state retaining portion is formed by one of the first and second pieces;
• a flexible stand portion having:
• a sliding end portion configured to slide back and forth in a sliding direction;
• and
• a non-sliding end portion that rotates around a hinge portion;
• and
• an engaging portion arranged at the sliding end portion of the flexible stand portion, wherein the flexible stand portion is switchable between:
• a flat state, wherein the non-sliding end portion is arranged against the rear side of the platform and the sliding end portion is arranged at a first locking position, and
• a curved state, wherein the non-sliding end portion is rotated away from the rear side of the platform and the sliding end portion is arranged at a second locking position different from the first locking position so that the flexible stand portion bows outward to form the shape of a curve or arch, and
• wherein the flat-state retaining portion engages with the engaging portion to maintain the sliding end portion at the first locking position when the flexible stand portion is in the flat state.

A stand for a mobile device, comprising:

• a platform having:
• a front side that faces toward the mobile device when connected to the stand;
• a rear side opposite to the front side and facing away from the mobile device when connected to the stand;
• and
• a recess located on the rear side of the platform;
• a flexible stand portion having:
• a sliding end portion configured to slide back and forth in the recess in a sliding direction;
• and
• a non-sliding end portion that rotates around a hinge portion,
• wherein the flexible stand portion is switchable between:
• a flat state, wherein the non-sliding end portion is arranged against the rear side of the platform and the sliding end portion is arranged at a first locking position;
• and
• a curved state, wherein the non-sliding end portion is rotated away from the rear side of the platform and the sliding end portion is arranged at a second locking position different from the first locking position so that the flexible stand portion bows outward to form the shape of a curve or arch,
• wherein a portion of the sliding end portion is arranged underneath a rear portion of the platform so that the portion of the sliding end portion is arranged between the rear portion of the platform and the mobile device when the mobile device is connected to the stand.
