Abstract
A friction mount apparatus for supporting an electronic device () on a surface (). The apparatus () includes a body (), anchors (), and a receiving member (). Body () includes a recessed surface () on the bottom thereof into which a foam layer () is secured, wherein the foam layer () contacts a mounting surface () and resists moving relative to the surface (). The anchors () are connected to the body () via flexible necks () and have bottom surfaces formed of soft material and weighted cores to press the bottom surfaces against the mounting surface to resist movement relative to the mounting surface () and thus further stabilize the apparatus (). The receiving member () is secured to a top surface of the body () and is adapted to releasably retain an electronic device ().
