Abstract: A holder for a tablet computer such as an IPAD is formed by a sheet of a foamed elastic material extending over substantially the whole of the rear face flat adjacent to and parallel to the rear face of the flat plate. The sheet is held in place by an edge grip member around the edge of the sheet and shaped to engage the edge of the plate to hold the sheet at the rear face. The sheet has an array of at least four holes therethrough allowing the individual fingers of the user to pass through respective ones of the holes to an underside of the sheet adjacent to the rear face. The elasticity of the sheet allows the sheet to stretch away from the rear face to receive the fingers underneath the sheet.
