Abstract
An electronic device includes a case (20) and a supporting member (10). The case includes a bottom wall (50) defining a receiving recess (54). A receiving hole (56) is defined in the bottom wall at the receiving recess. The supporting member includes a main portion (12), a connecting member (14) rotatably received in the receiving hole, and at least one protruding portion (16) located at a periphery of the connecting member. The main portion includes two locating protrusions (126). The case includes two first sockets (500) and two second sockets (502). The locating protrusions are selectively received in either the first sockets or the second sockets. When the electronic device is used in a horizontal position, the supporting member is fully received in the recess of the case; and when the electronic device is stood in an upright position, the supporting member is perpendicular to the recess of the case.
