A dual-use holder for a pocket-sized electrical appliance. In a first orientation, the holder can be steadily rested on a generally horizontal surface, such as a shelf or on a table or desk top, with the appliance in a generally upright position. In a second orientation, the holder can be removably mounted to a generally vertical surface, such as a mirror or window surface, again with the appliance in a generally upright position. The holder has integral back and bottom walls, which support the appliance. Preferably, the holder has a strap, which straps the appliance to the back wall. Alternatively, the holder has integral side and front walls, which with the back and bottom walls define an open-topped box, and the appliance is inserted into such box. The holder has a prop, which is mounted to the back wall. The holder has a suction cup, or suction cups, which is or are attached to the prop and is or are used to mount the holder removably to a hard, smooth, non-porous surface.

A dual-use holder for a pocket-sized electronic appliance or the like, said holder being useful alternatively in a first orientation wherein said holder can be steadily rested on a generally horizontal surface and in a second orientation wherein said holder can be removably attached to a generally vertical surface; said holder having a back wall, which is adapted to prevent such an appliance from falling backwardly as held by said holder in either orientation, the back wall having a pair of transverse ribs defining a transverse slot, said holder having means for preventing such an appliance from falling forwardly, laterally, or downwardly as held by said holder in either orientation; said holder having a back prop, which has a transverse flange fitting snugly into the transverse slot to attach the back prop to the back wall at an acute angle with respect to the back wall and which is adapted to prevent said holder from tipping backwardly when said holder in its first orientation is rested on a generally horizontal surface, and at least one suction cup attached to the back prop for removably mounting said holder in its second orientation to a generally vertical surface.
