Abstract
Embodiments include a rotatable member that can be removably attached to a portable electronic device. The rotatable member includes a support member that is adjustably extendable from the rotatable member. The support member is adapted to support the portable electronic device at a substantially upright angle relative to an underlying surface when the support member is extended.
Claims17
A portable electronic device holder comprising:
- a handle adapted to be removably attached to a device in such a way that, when the device and handle are attached, the device is rotatable relative to the handle and, when the device and handle are not attached, the handle can be placed on an underlying surface and can support the device at a substantially upright angle relative to the underlying surface wherein the handle includes a raised portion adapted to support the hand of a user with a mechanism for securing the hand thereto;
- a base opposite the raised portion and contacting the underlying surface when placed thereon;
- an outer surface extending circumferentially between the raised portion and base;
- and a support member that is extendable relative to a central portion of the handle by passing through an opening in the outer surface to at least partially contact the underlying surface.

A portable electronic device holder comprising:
- a rotatable handle comprising an actuator and one or more attachment members operably linked to the actuator;
- a structure comprising a plurality of surfaces that are adapted to hold the portable electronic device therebetween and an attachment portion that engages with the attachment members;
- a support member that is adjustably extendable relative to a central portion of the rotatable handle;
- a support surface located on the support member, the support surface being adapted to support the portable electronic device at a substantially upright angle relative to an underlying surface when the support member is extended;
- and
- wherein the actuator allows a user to release the rotatable handle from the structure;
- wherein the rotatable handle includes a raised portion adapted to support the hand of a user with a mechanism for securing the hand thereto;
- a base opposite the raised portion and contacting the underlying surface when placed thereon;
- an outer surface extending circumferentially between the raised portion and base;
- and the support member is adjustably extendable relative to a central portion of the handle by passing through an opening in the outer surface to at least partially contact the underlying surface.
