Abstract
A support stand includes a plurality of generally planar support members pivotally connected to one another. The stand attaches to the bottom of an electronic device. The support members are movable between a storage position in which all of the support members lie in a single plane against the bottom of the electronic device, and a deployed position in which the electronic device is supported in an inclined position. A latch retains the stand in the storage position when it is not in use.
