Abstract
A support for holding an electronic device, such as a cellular telephone, that attaches to the electronic device with a magnetic connector. The support may have support arms that can grip the electronic device. A magnetic mounting surface may include an annular magnet at its outer area, which is adapted to magnetically hold an electronic device such as a cellular telephone. The support arms may be able to move from a first position perpendicular to the magnetic mounting surface to a second positions parallel to the magnetic mounting surface. The support arms may be extendible from a central portion and this extension may be resisted by internal springs. A cellular telephone may be held within the extended arms to provide gripping support to the telephone. In the parallel configuration, the extendable arms may provide a further mounting surface for stability of the phone on its magnetic mounting surface.
