1. A stand assembly for holding a device comprising:
- a first section shaped on one end with a curved surface, said curved surface of said first section constructed of a magnetic material; and
a second section having a front surface, said second section having magnetic material holding the first and second sections together, the magnetic material of the second section surrounding the curved surface when the first and second sections are together, wherein the magnetic material of the second section that holds said first and said second sections together has a ring shape.

Abstract
A stand assembly for holding handheld electronic devices in a multitude of positions or locations having a first section with a curved end magnetically attached to second section having and indented surface. The first section also attaches to a surface, the second section either is contiguous with a portable electronic device, a carrying case, or other item; or has a means to attach to another surface. A high-friction elastomeric material, or similar friction producing material, helps to secure the first and second sections together, or the second section against another flat magnetic surface.
