7 . The case system of claim 1 , further comprising a transparent sheet disposed along the inwardly extending ledge portion and spanning across the central opening.

8 . A back assembly for a portable electronic device, comprising:

(I) a back member couplable with the portable electronic device and including:

(A) a rear surface portion,

(B) an interior surface portion opposite the rear surface portion,

(C) a recessed region, and

(D) a stand-coupling structure including at least one elongated aperture, at least one ramp portion disposed adjacent the at least one elongated aperture, and at least one notch portion disposed along the at least one elongated aperture; and

(II) a two-piece folding stand coupled with the back member by the stand-coupling structure, the two-piece folding stand including:

(A) a first stand member coupled with the stand-coupling structure, and

(B) a second stand member hingedly coupled to the first stand member,

wherein the first stand member includes at least one peg portion slidably received within the at least one elongated aperture,

wherein the two-piece folding stand is movable between (i) a stowed condition in which at least a portion of the two-piece folding stand is received in the recessed region and (ii) a deployed condition in which the first stand member and the second stand member are angled with respect to one another to support the back assembly on a support surface while the back member remains coupled with the portable electronic device, the at least one peg portion being positioned within the at least one notch portion in the stowed condition to resist movement of the first stand member relative to the back member.

9 . The back assembly of claim 8 , further comprising a frame member couplable with the portable electronic device and couplable with the back member.

10 . The back assembly of claim 9 , wherein the frame member includes a perimeter body defining a central opening.

11 . The back assembly of claim 10 , wherein the frame member includes an inwardly extending ledge portion adjacent the central opening.

12 . The back assembly of claim 8 , wherein the hinge coupling includes a peg portion on the first stand member and a side aperture on the second stand member, the peg portion being received in the side aperture.

13 . The back assembly of claim 12 , wherein the second stand member includes a second side aperture receiving a second peg portion of the first stand member.

14 . The back assembly of claim 8 , wherein the recessed region includes a sunken portion of the back member.

15 . A modular enclosure system for a portable electronic device, comprising:

(I) a back assembly including:

(A) a back member including a recessed region and a stand-coupling structure including at least one elongated aperture, at least one ramp portion disposed adjacent the at least one elongated aperture, and at least one notch portion disposed along the at least one elongated aperture, and

(B) a two-piece folding stand including a first stand member and a second stand member hingedly coupled to the first stand member, the first stand member being coupled to the stand-coupling structure, the first stand member including at least one peg portion slidably received within the at least one elongated aperture; and

(II) a frame member removably couplable with the back assembly and including:

(A) a perimeter body defining a central opening, and

(B) a ledge portion adjacent the central opening;

wherein, when the frame member is coupled with the back assembly, the portable electronic device is retainable between the frame member and the back member, and

wherein the two-piece folding stand is movable between a stowed condition in which the two-piece folding stand is received in the recessed region and a deployed condition in which the first stand member and the second stand member are angled with respect to one another to support the modular enclosure system on a support surface, the at least one peg portion being positioned within the at least one notch portion in the stowed condition to resist movement of the first stand member relative to the back member.
