1. A case for a portable electronic device, the portable electronic device including a back side and a display side, the case comprising: a base panel configured rest on a working surface;a support panel pivotally coupled to the base panel and configured to support the portable electronic device in an elevated position, the support panel comprising: a lower portion pivotally coupled to the base panel to allow the lower portion to pivot away from the base panel and elevate the support panel relative to the base panel; anda pivot flap pivotally coupled to the lower portion;a rotational grommet coupled to the pivot flap; anda securing panel comprising a circular aperture, coupled to the rotational grommet at the circular aperture, and comprising a receiving side and a back side, the receiving side configured to receive and secure the portable electronic device,wherein the rotational grommet is configured to allow the securing panel to rotate in one or more directions relative to the support panel,wherein the base panel and support panel are configured to pivot to a stowage position such that the receiving side of the securing panel faces the base panel and the base panel is adjacent to the display side of the portable electronic device secured in the securing panel and the pivot flap and the lower portion extend in the same plane to form the support panel, andwherein the base panel and support panel are configured to pivot to a display position such that the support panel pivots to a desired angle to support the securing panel at an angled position. 2. The case of claim 1, wherein in the stowage position an interior surface of the base panel covers the display side of the portable electronic device secured in the securing panel. 3. The case of claim 1, wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having one or more channels configured to receive an end of the securing panel to position the securing panel in an angled position. 4. The case of claim 1, wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having one or more channels configured to receive an end of the portable electronic device disposed in the securing panel to position the portable electronic device in an angled position. 5. The case of claim 1, wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having one or more ridges. 6. The case of claim 1, wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having a high-friction material. 7. The case of claim 6, wherein the high-friction material is a rubberized material. 8. The case of claim 1, wherein the securing panel includes one or more ports for accessing interfaces included in the portable electronic device. 9. The case of claim 1, wherein, in the stowage position, the base panel and the support panel are configured to retain at least a majority of the securing panel therebetween. 10. A case for a portable electronic device, the portable electronic device including a back side and a display side, comprising: a base panel configured to sit on a working surface;a support member pivotally coupled to the base panel and configured to support the portable electronic device in an elevated position;a rotational mechanism coupled to the support member; anda holder comprising, a back side coupled to the rotational mechanism, anda front side configured to receive the portable electronic device and secure the portable electronic device with the display side exposed,wherein the rotational mechanism is configured to allow the holder to rotate between landscape and portrait positions relative to the base panel, andwherein the support member is configured to pivot the holder from the elevated position wherein the display side is accessible to a stowage position wherein the front side of the holder faces the base panel and the display side is covered by the base panel and the support member extends along an exterior of the case. 11. The case of claim 10, wherein the rotational mechanism comprises a rotational grommet. 12. The case of claim 11, wherein the rotational grommet comprises a first portion coupled to the support member and a second portion coupled to the holder. 13. The case of claim 12, wherein the first portion is configured to selectively detach from the second portion. 14. The case of claim 10, wherein the rotational mechanism is configured to lock into one or more predetermined relative rotational orientations of the holder and the support panel. 15. The case of claim 10, wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having one or more channels. 16. The case of claim 10, wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having one or more ridges. 17. The case of claim 10, wherein the base panel comprises an interior surface having a high-friction material. 18. The case of claim 17, wherein the high-friction material is a rubberized material. 19. A case for a portable electronic device comprising: a base panel having an interior surface and an outer surface and configured to have the outer surface sit at least in part on a working surface;a support panel pivotally coupled to the base panel the support panel including, a lower portion pivotally coupled to the base panel to allow the lower portion to pivot away from the base panel and elevate the support panel relative to the base panel; anda pivot flap pivotally coupled to the lower portion,wherein the lower portion has a length extending from the pivotal coupling with the base panel to the pivotal coupling with the pivot flap, andwherein the pivot flap has a length extending from the pivotal coupling to the lower portion;a rotational mechanism coupled to the pivot flap; anda securing panel coupled to the rotational mechanism and comprising a back side and a receiving side configured to receive and secure the portable electronic device,wherein the securing panel has a length and width, both of which are substantially greater than the combined lengths of the lower portion and the pivot flap,wherein the rotational mechanism is configured to allow the holder to rotate in one or more directions relative to the support panel,wherein the base panel and support panel are configured to pivot to a stowage position, such that the receiving side of the securing panel faces the base panel and the base panel is adjacent to a display side of the portable electronic device secured in the securing panel, andwherein the base panel and support panel are configured to pivot to a display position such that the support panel pivots to a desired angle to support the securing panel at an angled position and the securing panel contacts the interior surface of the base panel to retain the angled position. 20. The case of claim 19, wherein the rotational mechanism comprises a rotational grommet. 21. The case of claim 20, wherein the rotational grommet comprises a first portion coupled to the support panel and a second portion coupled to the securing panel. 22. The case of claim 21, wherein the first portion is configured to selectively detach from the second portion. 23. The case of claim 19, wherein the rotational mechanism is configured to lock into one or more predetermined relative rotational orientations of the securing panel and the support panel. 24.
