1. A case adapted for storing and selectively positioning an electronic device in a plurality of positions, comprising:
- a base panel with an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least four outer edges;
a cover panel operably interconnected to said base panel, with an inner surface, an outer surface, and at least four outer edges;
a supporting mechanism having an upper end and a lower end, said lower end operably interconnected to said inside surface of said base panel, wherein said supporting mechanism is capable of a first non-inclined position which is substantially parallel to said inner surface of said base, and at least a second inclined position;
an attachment mechanism adapted for removable interconnection with the electronic device; and
a rotation mechanism operably interconnected to said supporting mechanism and said attachment means, wherein said attachment mechanism is adapted to rotate about an axis wherein the electronic device is capable of rotation at least about 90 degrees.
