Abstract
A hinged support apparatus and method for a portable electronic display device is disclosed that includes a mounting plate and an elongated base each, respectively, having a proximal and a distal end portion. The hinged support apparatus includes a mounting plate and an elongated base, at least a portion of which is disposed upon and coplanar with the mounting plate. The mounting plate and the elongated base can include tenons that can engage in position stops located in mortises in the opposite parts. Using these tenons and mortises, the distal end of the elongated base can be locked or interlocked into a position at a splayed out angle from the mounting plate for easier viewing.
