The apparatus includes a cradle adapted to be releasably secured to the electronic device having a front and back side. The apparatus also includes a support adapted to be mounted to a surface. The apparatus has a connector that has a first and second end. The first end of the connector is slidably connected to the cradle wherein the cradle is adapted to move along its longitudinal axis. A pin pivotally couples the second end of the connector to the support.
