Abstract
This invention provides a support stand for portable electronic devices that is incorporated into a battery. The support stand is optionally detachable. When the support stand is closed, the electronic device fits into the hand or a belt holster in its normal fashion. When the support stand is open, the support stand allows the portable electronic device to rest at an angle relative to a horizontal surface. When applied to a cellular phone or two-way radio, the invention offers improved access to the display screen and microphone/speaker assembly, as well as offering improved antenna performance.
