First Claim
Patent Images
1. An electronic device support, the support comprising:
- a receptacle comprising an electronic device receiving cavity and a first magnetic indexing part; and
a base hingedly coupled to the receptacle and comprising a second magnetic indexing part, the first and second magnetic indexing parts configured to allow the receptacle to rotate relative to the base when rotationally apart from a specified orientation and to magnetically support the receptacle when in the specified orientation.

15. A method, comprising:
-
supporting an electronic device in a hinged orientation relative to a base using magnetic interaction between a magnetic indexing component coupled to the base and a magnetic indexing component coupled to the electronic device and aligned with the magnetic component coupled to the base; and allowing the electronic device to hinge relative to the base when the magnetic indexing component coupled to the base is apart from the magnetic indexing component coupled to the electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
