Portable electronic device case with an adhesive panel

1. A case to support and store a portable electronic device having a front side and a back side, the case comprising:

a planar member configured to transition from a stowage position, open position, and a display position, the planar member including,

a base panel,

a middle panel pivotally coupled to the base panel, and

a pivot panel pivotally coupled to the middle panel; and

an adhesive panel, coupled to the pivot panel, to directly engage and secure the back side of the portable electronic device wherein the adhesive panel has sufficient adhesive strength to secure the portable electronic device in the stowage, open, and display positions and is further configured for repeated separations and engagements with the portable electronic device,

wherein in the stowage position, the middle panel and the pivot panel are disposed in the same plane and extend over an interior surface of the base panel,

wherein in the open position, the base panel, middle panel, and pivot panel all extend in the same plane, and

wherein in the display position, the middle panel and pivot panel each pivot to support the portable electronic device in an elevated position and the portable electronic device rests on the interior surface of the base panel.

2. The case of claim 1 , wherein the panel member further comprises a fastener extending from the pivot panel, the fastener configured to retain the base panel, middle panel and pivot panel in the stowage configuration.

3. The case of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive panel comprises reusable adhesive tape.

4. The case of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive panel extends over the majority of the interior surface of the pivot panel.

5. The case of claim 1 , wherein the interior surface of the base panel includes a pocket.

6. The case of claim 1 , wherein the interior surface of the base panel comprises a high-friction material.

7. The case of claim 6 , wherein the high-friction material is a rubberized material.

8. A case to support and store a portable electronic device having a front side and a back side, the case comprising:

a base panel configured to sit on a working surface;

a support panel pivotally coupled to the base panel and configured to support a portable electronic device in an elevated position, the support panel comprising:

a lower portion pivotally coupled to the base panel; and

a pivot flap pivotally coupled to the lower portion and including an adhesive panel to directly engage and secure the back side of the portable electronic device wherein the adhesive panel has sufficient adhesive strength to secure the portable electronic device in the stowage, open, and display positions and is further configured for repeated separations and engagements with the portable electronic device,

wherein the base panel and support panel pivot to a display configuration wherein the portable electronic device is supported by the pivot flap and the portable electronic device rests on the base panel, and wherein the base panel and support panel pivot to a stowage configuration wherein the portable electronic device is disposed between the base panel and support panel with the base panel covering the front side of the portable electronic device.

9. The case of claim 8 , wherein the adhesive panel comprises reusable adhesive tape.

10. The case of claim 8 , wherein the adhesive panel extends over the majority of the surface area of an interior surface of the pivot flap.

11. The case of claim 8 , wherein an interior surface of the base panel includes a pocket.

12. The case of claim 8 , further comprising a fastener to retain the base panel and the support panel in the stowage configuration.

13. The case of claim 8 , wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having a high-friction material.

14. The case of claim 13 , wherein the high-friction material is a rubberized material.
