Abstract: A portable support device is configured to receive a portable electronic device thereon, and includes a generally planar support base, a neck strap, and two struts coupled at one end to the support base and at the other end to the neck strap. The struts can rotate with respect to the support base. The neck strap can be worn around a user's neck, allowing the support base to rest in front of a user's mid-section. Spacer bars can provide for separation between the user's mid-section and the support base. Clamps or other fixing mechanisms can be used to retain the portable electronic device on the top surface of the support base. Clasps or clutch plates can be used to restrain the rotational movement of the struts relative to the support base.
