Tabletop mobile device and beverage holder

摘要

A retaining apparatus for propping an electronic mobile device in an upright orientation is provided. The retaining apparatus has two planar and opposing surfaces, wherein each surface provides an isosceles-trapezoidal slot. Though the two slots have different widths and lengths, they both provide tapering sidewalls that overhang bottom portions of the associated slot, thereby adapting each slot to selectively engage a peripheral edge of a mobile electronic device between the tapering sidewalls and the overhanging bottom portions, and in turn enabling the propping of the mobile electronic device in the upright orientation. Adjacent to each slot, the retaining apparatus may provide frictionally engaging material for removably securing a beverage container thereto.
