  • Patent number: 9915393
    Abstract: A mobile device support is provided herein. The support may include a support element having a support surface having first and second longitudinal ends, the support surfacing supporting a mobile device that operably rests thereon. The support may include a base connected to the support element. The base may be operable to rest on an underlying surface defining a contact plane. The base stably positions the support element holding the mobile device. The support surface defines a gap that interrupts the support surface between the longitudinal ends. The gap opens laterally with respect to the support surface, while providing a clearance above the base that is sufficiently large to enable a user to insert at least a finger into the gap between the longitudinal ends and between the base and the mobile device. The gap allows the user to directly grasp the mobile device from both a face up side and a face down side when the mobile device rests on the support surface.

  • Publication number: 20170127823
    Abstract: A mobile device support is provided herein. The support may include a support element that supports a mobile device and a multi-positionable base on which the support element is mounted. The base may include a first base surface disposed at a first angle with respect to the support element. The first base surface is operable to rest on an underlying surface to position the support element at the first angle while the mobile device is supported on the support element. The base may include a second base surface disposed at a second angle with respect to the support element. The second base surface is operable to rest on the underlying surface to position the support element at the second angle while the mobile device is supported on the support element. The first and second angles are different from each other. The base may include movable weight that is connected with the base and movable with respect thereto between the first base surface and the second base surface.
