A protective case for an electronic device having an integrated camera ring stand is disclosed. The protective case includes a device compartment defined by multiple walls including a back side wall that is configured to overlie the back face of the device when the device is in the case. The back face wall includes a first aperture that is configured to encompass the camera feature on the back face of the mobile device when the device is in the case and a hinged stand that is coupled to the back face wall and movable from a fixed closed position to fixed open positions. The stand includes a second aperture that is configured to overlie the first aperture to facilitate camera operation in both the closed and open positions. The stand may be retained within a stand housing that is housed within a camera ring housing that may be a separate component from the stand housing.
