resizing a scrolled portion of the presentation of the scrolled image, the scrolled portion being less than an entirety of the presentation of the scrolled image, the scrolled portion being adjacent to and removed from the location; and

displaying a third portion of the scrolled image at the location, the third portion corresponding to an initial third portion of the initial presentation, the third portion being presented with a size of the initial third portion.

14. A wireless communications device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory, communicatively coupled to the processor, configured to store information operated upon by the processor;

a wireless communications component configured to provide wireless data communications between the processor and a wireless data network;

a flexible display;

at least one flexing sensor configured to characterize a flexing and a location of the flexing of the flexible display; and

a display controller, communicatively coupled to the at least one flexing sensor, the display controller configured to:

provide an initial presentation of an image on the flexible display;

receive a characterization of the flexing;

determine, based on the characterization, that the flexing is a defined flexing; and

resize, in response to a determination that the flexing is the defined flexing, a first portion of the initial presentation of the image while maintaining a size of a second portion of the initial presentation of the image,

the first portion being less than an entirety of the initial presentation and further being adjacent to and removed from the location, and

the second portion less than an entirety of the initial presentation and further being displayed at the location.

15. A non-transitory computer program product for receiving commands from a flexible display system, the non-transitory computer program product comprising:
