Abstract: The smartphone case has a compartment for a smartphone and also includes a hook which can be moved between a collapsed orientation adjacent to a rear surface of the smartphone case and a deployed orientation. In the deployed orientation, the hook can be placed over a wall or other elevated structure and the smartphone within the case can be suspended below. Alternatively, the smartphone can rest up from an edge thereof placed upon an underlying surface, and the hook positioned to also rest upon the underlying surface. The hook can both pivot and swivel in preferred embodiments, so that it can be positioned optimally to support the smartphone in a desired orientation. An optional second hook can also be provided. The rear surface preferably includes a recess therein to allow at least portions of the hook to be nested within the recess when in the collapsed orientation.
