1. A security device for functional display of a handheld electronic device, wherein the handheld electronic device has a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge extending between the first edge and the second edge, and wherein the handheld electronic device has first corner between the first edge and the third edge and a second corner between the second edge and the third edge, the security device comprising:

  • an axle having a first end, a second end, and a center section extending between the first end of the axle the second end of the axle, wherein the first end of the axle is threaded with a first thread pattern and the second end of the axle is threaded with a second thread pattern, and wherein the first thread pattern is counter rotational to the second thread pattern;

    a body assembly configured for contacting the third edge of the handheld electronic device, the body assembly having a first hole extending transversely through the body assembly, wherein the center section of the axle extends through the first hole of the body assembly parallel to a longitudinal axis of the security device;

    a first clamp having a first base and a first retention leg extending from the first base, the first clamp having a first hole extending transversely through the first base of the first clamp parallel to the longitudinal axis of the security device, wherein the first hole of the first base of the first clamp is threaded with the first thread pattern, wherein the first end of the axle is threaded into the first hole of the first base of the first clamp, and wherein the first clamp further comprises a first channel formed on the inner surface of the first retention leg and the first base configured to grip the first corner along the first edge and the third edge of the handheld electronic device; and

    a second clamp having a second base and a second retention leg extending from the second base, the second clamp having a first hole extending transversely through the second base of the second clamp parallel to the longitudinal axis of the security device, wherein the first hole of the second base of the second clamp is threaded with the second thread pattern, and wherein the second end of the axle threaded into the second hole of the second base of the second clamp, wherein the second clamp further comprises a second channel formed on the inner surface of the second retention leg and the second base configured to grip the second corner along the second edge and the third edge of the handheld electronic device;

    wherein the axle is configured to move the first clamp axially toward the body assembly and the second clamp axially toward the body assembly to secure the handheld electronic device when the axle is rotated in a first direction.
