Abstract: A standing clip for supporting an object in an upright position includes a flexible grip having an upper lever arm, a lower lever arm, and first and second support legs. The first support leg extends from the upper lever arm at a second end of the flexible grip, and the second support leg extends from the lower lever arm at the second end of the flexible grip. The first and second support legs include complimentary clamping surfaces configured for clamping the object therebetween, and are spaced apart from each other by a gap. The flexible grip is depressible from a first state in which the gap is a first size to a second state in which the gap is a second size. The first and second support legs are oriented substantially vertically in the second state to clamp and suspend the object above a desired surface.
