Abstract
A stand that is attachable to a back surface of an electronic device or a protective case for the electronic device. The stand includes a base portion, two legs, and two pivoting spring arms. Each leg pivots at a leg axis along an arc between a stowed position and an extended position. The two pivoting spring arms are attached to the base portion at a first end and attached to a respective one of the legs at a second end. Each pivoting spring arm is configured to apply a spring force to the leg to, alternately, force leg toward the stowed position or the extended position depending on the starting position of the leg.
