  • Patent number: 8297440
    Abstract: A case for use with an electronic device having a screen has a base and a support mechanism. The support mechanism has a flexible body that is movable relative to the base between a first (substantially flat) position and a second position. The flexible body is configured to bend into a convex configuration and extend in a direction away from the outer surface of the base in the second position. The body in the second position can be used to engage a flat surface and to support the electronic device in an at least partially vertical viewing position to display the screen on the electronic device. The support mechanism may include a single piece or two arms configured to move relative to each other. The support mechanism may move in a longitudinal or a lateral direction relative to the base.
