Abstract: A portable electronic device holder consisting essentially of a cradle to which a dual-function pivotable clip is mounted. The cradle is structured as a backbone panel with bottom and top bracing sections adapted to receive and retain the respective end of a device to be held, either or both sections incorporating resilient means by which to securely clamp the device once seated therein. The pivotable clip is constructed of resilient wire formed as an open frame with transversely opposite ends, serving as bearing journals that are mounted in axially offset channels of a clip bearing, thereby inflicting elastic structural deformation on the clip. A biasing torque results, urging the clip towards the backbone panel when below a critical angle, thereby to serve as a clasp, and away from it when above the critical angle, thereby to readily assume an orientation at which to serve as a prop.
