Mounts can hold electronic devices. Some mounts can attach digital media players to a wall, such as a wall of a home or a backside of a television. In some embodiments, mounts include a tray with side walls that hold electronic devices at least partially inside the mounts. In several embodiments, mounts include flexible necks connected to adhesive surfaces. The flexible necks can flex independently of each other to enable a mount to attach electronic devices to a wall that is not flat.

The mount of claim 1, further comprising a platform that protrudes inward from the inward side of the flat base, wherein the platform comprises an inwardly facing surface, wherein the inwardly facing surface comprises a surface area that is greater than a combined surface area of all adhesive surfaces of the mount, and wherein the platform couples the first flexible neck to the flat base and the platform couples the second flexible neck to the flat base. 3. The mount of claim 1, further comprising a third flexible neck that protrudes inward from the inward side of the flat base, the third flexible neck having a third distal end and a third proximal end, wherein the third proximal end of the third flexible neck is coupled to the inward side of the flat base, and the third distal end of the third flexible neck is coupled to a third flat adhesive surface; anda fourth flexible neck that protrudes inward from the inward side of the flat base, the fourth flexible neck having a fourth distal end and a fourth proximal end, wherein the fourth proximal end of the fourth flexible neck is coupled to the inward side of the flat base, and the fourth distal end of the fourth flexible neck is coupled to a fourth flat adhesive surface,wherein the first proximal end, the second proximal end, the third proximal end, and the fourth proximal end are located in a rectangular configuration relative to each other. 4. The mount of claim 1, further comprising a third flexible neck that protrudes inward from the inward side of the flat base, the third flexible neck having a third distal end and a third proximal end, wherein the third proximal end of the third flexible neck is coupled to the inward side of the flat base, and the third distal end of the third flexible neck is coupled to a third flat adhesive surface; anda fourth flexible neck that protrudes inward from the inward side of the flat base, the fourth flexible neck having a fourth distal end and a fourth proximal end, wherein the fourth proximal end of the fourth flexible neck is coupled to the inward side of the flat base, and the fourth distal end of the fourth flexible neck is coupled to a fourth flat adhesive surface,wherein the flat base comprises a first quadrant, a second quadrant, a third quadrant, and a fourth quadrant, wherein the first flexible neck is coupled to the first quadrant, the second flexible neck is coupled to the second quadrant, the third flexible neck is coupled to the third quadrant, and the fourth flexible neck is coupled to the fourth quadrant. 5. The mount of claim 1, wherein the first flexible neck is located a first normal distance from the first side wall and a second normal distance from the second side wall, and the second flexible neck is located the first normal distance from the first side wall and the second normal distance from the second side wall. 6. The mount of claim 1, wherein the first flat adhesive surface comprises a first center and the second flat adhesive surface comprises a second center, and the first distal end of the first flexible neck is coupled to the first center and the second distal end of the second flexible neck is coupled to the second center. 7. The mount of claim 1, wherein the first flexible neck is a first rectangular beam that comprises a first length, a first thickness, and a first width, wherein the first length is at least 2 millimeters and less than 13 millimeters, and the first width is at least twice as large as the first thickness, wherein the second flexible neck is a second rectangular beam that comprises a second length, a second thickness, and a second width, wherein the second length is at least 2 millimeters and less than 13 millimeters, and the second width is at least twice as large as the second thickness. 8. The mount of claim 1, wherein the first flexible neck protrudes perpendicularly relative to the flat base and the first flat adhesive surface is oriented parallel to the flat base, wherein the second flexible neck protrudes perpendicularly relative to the flat base and the second flat adhesive surface is oriented parallel to the flat base, wherein the first flat adhesive surface and the second flat adhesive surface are coplanar, wherein the first flat adhesive surface is coupled to the flat base via the first flexible neck, but the first flat adhesive surface is otherwise unattached to the flat base, wherein the second flat adhesive surface is coupled to the flat base via the second flexible neck, but the second flat adhesive surface is otherwise unattached to the flat base. 9.
