A lap stabilization device includes a support tray, and at least one strap which is routed around and removably secured to the legs of a seated person to provide a stabilized work surface. The stabilized work surface can be used to secure a laptop computer, or any other object which requires stabilization on the lap of the person. In the first embodiment, the lap stabilization device comprises the support tray and at least one strap. In the second embodiment, the lap stabilization device can further include a lid thereby providing storage capacity for a laptop computer in the form of a laptop computer carrying case. Various structures are disclosed for attaching the stabilization device to the lap of the user. A retracting mechanism can be used to store and to selectively feed a desired length of securing strap for securing the stabilization device to the lap of the user.

A multi-function support, comprising: a main body having a gripping surface; at least one arm that is movably retained inside a portion of the main body, each of the at least one arm having a resilient element and a gripping surface; a gripping space defined between the gripping surface of the main body and the gripping surface of each of the at least one arm; and wherein each resilient element exerts a natural bias that normally pushes the gripping surface of the corresponding arm towards the gripping surface of the main body. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one arm comprises two arms. 3. A multi-function support, comprising: a main body having a gripping surface; at least one arm that is pivotably connected to the main body, each of the at least one arm having a resilient element and a gripping surface; a gripping space defined between the gripping surface of the main body and the gripping surface of each of the at least one arm; wherein each resilient element exerts a natural bias that normally pushes the gripping surface of the corresponding arm towards the gripping surface of the main body; and wherein the main body has at least one recess for receiving a corresponding arm when the arm is pivoted to be folded into the main body. 4. A multi-function support, comprising: a main body having a gripping surface; two arms that are pivotably connected to the main body, each of the arms having a resilient element and a gripping surface; a gripping space defined between the gripping surface of the main body and the gripping surface of each arm; wherein each resilient element exerts a natural bias that normally pushes the gripping surface of the corresponding arm towards the gripping surface of the main body; and further including a third arm that is pivotably connected to the main body at a location opposite from the gripping surface of the main body. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the third arm is positioned at about the center of the main body so that the three arms define the three points of a triangle. 6. A multi-function support, comprising: a main body having a gripping surface; at least one arm that is pivotably connected to the main body, each of the at least one arm having a resilient element and a gripping surface; a gripping space defined between the gripping surface of the main body and the gripping surface of each of the at least one arm; wherein each resilient element exerts a natural bias that normally pushes the gripping surface of the corresponding arm towards the gripping surface of the main body; and wherein the gripping surface of the main body is a shoulder extending from a front side of the main body. 7. A multi-function support, comprising: a main body having a gripping surface; two arms that is pivotably connected to the main body, each of the arms having a resilient element and a gripping surface; a gripping space defined between the gripping surface of the main body and the gripping surface of each arm; wherein each resilient element exerts a natural bias that normally pushes the gripping surface of the corresponding arm towards the gripping surface of the main body; and wherein the two arms have an L-shaped configuration with an enlarged bottom surface. 8. A multi-function support, comprising: a main body having a gripping surface; at least one arm that is pivotably connected to the main body, each of the at least one arm having a resilient element and a gripping surface; a gripping space defined between the gripping surface of the main body and the gripping surface of each of the at least one arm; wherein each resilient element exerts a natural bias that normally pushes the gripping surface of the corresponding arm towards the gripping surface of the main body; and wherein the main body comprises a housing and a cover that is removably connected to the housing, with at least one recess defined in the housing for receiving a co
