This disclosure relates generally to stands and enclosures for an electronic device. The apparatus can include an enclosure or a housing for receiving an electronic device and protect the device from damage resulting from impact or exposure to liquids. The stand may include one or more bi-stable springs connected to the rear surface of the housing by an attachment feature, such as slides or an anchor. The bi-stable spring portion of the stand has a straight or inactive configuration and a curled activated configuration. When a user places pressure on a straightened bi-stable spring, the bi-stable spring curls outward away from the enclosure and can act as a stand for the electronic device. The stand may be removably or permanently affixed to the enclosure.

Case with integrated stand activated by pressure

An apparatus and system for housing a device include a housing that is configured such that a device may be fitted within the housing and thereby be protected, such as from shocks and/or liquid. The housing may include top and bottom members that may be removably coupled together so as to form the housing. Each top and bottom member optionally includes front and back surfaces surrounded by a perimeter. The perimeter may be defined by proximal and distal ends as well as opposing sides. The top and bottom members may include respective clasping mechanisms that extend along the perimeter of the top and bottom members. The clasping mechanisms are configured for coupling the top and bottom members with one another thereby sealing the housing, for instance, in a shock-proof and/or water tight seal.
