Abstract: A folding instrument case stand attachable to the instrument case to support the case in an upright, tilted position. The stand is particularly adaptable for use with a stringed instrument case, for example a guitar case. The stand has spring loaded diverging legs that are pivotal relative to a central frame between a folded and an extended position. Straps extend from tie down plates mounted on the central frame to secure the base of the instrument case to the stand. The spring loaded legs can be latched to the central frame in the folded configuration. When the legs are in the folded configuration the stand can be transported with the instrument case. The case and stand can also be used as a temporary support for the musical instrument with the case opened and with the frame in an extended configuration.
