wherein said flexible portion's unencumbered end is attached to said shell;
a second support structure having a second length such that when said support structure is rotated into a deployed position a second support angle is provided.
7 . The mobile device protector of claim 6 , wherein said second support structure nests withing said first support structure.
8 . The mobile device protector of claim 6 , wherein said shock absorbing layer is configured to prevent the scratching and breaking of the screen of the mobile device.
9 . The mobile device protector of claim 6 , wherein said substantially rigid material is aluminum.
10 . The mobile device protector of claim 6 , wherein said shock absorbing layer is neoprene or foam.
11 . The mobile device protector of claim 6 , wherein said protector is configured to receive the back of the mobile device while the mobile device is in use.
12 . The mobile device protector of claim 6 , wherein said first support structure rotates where it connects to said shell.
13 . A mobile device protector having stand functionality and peripheral functionality comprising:
a form factor similar to a mobile device to be protected wherein the protector is configured such that the mobile device nests into the protector;
a shell constructed of a substantially rigid material;
wherein said shell is configured to receive and cover substantially the face of the mobile device;
wherein the protector is attached to mobile device during use through a friction fit;
a shock absorbing isolating layer;
a cut out or recessed portion configured to allow access to electric connectors;
a stand slot configured for receiving a folding stand;
wherein said folding stand comprises:
a first support structure having a first length such that when said support structure is rotated into a deployed position a first support angle is provided;
wherein said first support structure comprises a substantially rigid portion rotatably connected to said shell at a first end and connected to a flexible portion at an opposing second end;
wherein said flexible portion's unencumbered end is attached to said shell;
a second support structure having a second length such that when said support structure is rotated into a deployed position a second support angle is provided;
an input device for entering commands and data into the mobile device.
14 . The mobile device protector of claim 13 , wherein said input device is a keyboard attached to said mobile device protector.
15 . The mobile device protector of claim 14 , further comprising cable routing within the shock absorbing layer for an electronic cable configured to connect said keyboard to said mobile device.
16 . The mobile device protector of claim 6 , wherein said first support structure rotates where it connects to said shell.
17 . The mobile device protector of claim 13 , wherein said shock absorbing layer is configured to prevent the scratching and breaking of the screen of the mobile device.
18 . The mobile device protector of claim 13 , wherein said substantially rigid material is aluminum.
19 . The mobile device protector of claim 13 , wherein said shock absorbing layer is neoprene or foam.
20 . The mobile device protector of claim 13 , wherein said protector is configured to receive the back of the mobile device while the mobile device is in use.
21 . The mobile device protector of claim 13 , wherein said shock absorbing layer is configured to accommodate said input device by having a slot therein shaped for receiving said input device.
22 . A system for a protected mobile device comprising:
a mobile device;
a form factor similar to a mobile device to be protected wherein the protector is configured such that the mobile device nests into the protector;
a shell constructed of a substantially rigid material;
wherein said shell is configured to receive and cover substantially the face of the mobile device;
wherein the protector is attached to mobile device during use through a friction fit;
a shock absorbing isolating layer;
a cut out or recessed portion configured to allow access to electric connectors;
a stand slot configured for receiving a folding stand;
wherein said folding stand comprises:
a first support structure having a first length such that when said support structure is rotated into a deployed position a first support angle is provided;
wherein said first support structure comprises a substantially rigid portion rotatably connected to said shell at a first end and connected to a flexible portion at an opposing second end;
wherein said flexible portion's unencumbered end is attached to said shell;
a second support structure having a second length such that when said support structure is rotated into a deployed position a second support angle is provided;
an input device for entering commands and data into the mobile device.
