         2 . The portfolio of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of panels are configured to fold relative to each other. 
     
     
         3 . The portfolio of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of panels are positioned over the inner surface of the first portfolio wall and the mobile device housing is positioned over the inner surface of the first portfolio wall. 
     
     
         4 . The portfolio of  claim 1 , wherein the edges of the first portfolio wall and the second portfolio wall are joined to each other with a hinge, the second portfolio wall configured to rotate about the hinge to move between the closed position and the open position. 
     
     
         5 . The portfolio of  claim 1 , wherein the first substantially triangular panel includes a first edge and a second edge, the first edge abutting the inner surface of the first portfolio wall and the second edge abutting the mobile device housing in the raised position; and
 the second substantially triangular panel includes a first edge and a second edge, the first edge abutting the inner surface of the first portfolio wall and the second edge abutting the mobile device housing in the raised position.   
     
     
         6 . The portfolio of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of panels includes a first substantially rectangular panel and a second substantially rectangular panel;
 the first substantially triangular panel includes a third edge;   the second substantially triangular panel includes a third edge; and   the first substantially rectangular panel is coupled to the third edge of the first substantially triangular panel, the second substantially rectangular panel is coupled to the third edge of the second substantially triangular panel, and the first substantially rectangular panel and the second substantially rectangular panel extend parallel to each other in the raised position.   
     
     
         7 . The portfolio of  claim 6 , wherein the first substantially rectangular panel includes a first edge and a second edge, the first edge coupled to the third edge of the first substantially triangular panel and the second edge abutting the mobile device housing in the raised position; and
 the second substantially rectangular panel includes a first edge and a second edge, the first edge coupled to the third edge of the second substantially triangular panel and the second edge abutting the mobile device housing in the raised position.   
     
     
         8 . The portfolio of  claim 7 , wherein the first substantially rectangular panel and the second substantially rectangular panel each extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the inner surface of the first portfolio wall in the raised position. 
     
     
         9 . The portfolio of  claim 8 , wherein the plurality of panels includes a third substantially triangular panel having a first edge, second edge and third edge;
 the first edge of the third substantially triangular panel coupled to the first edge of the first substantially triangular panel;   the second edge of the third substantially triangular panel coupled to the first edge of the second substantially triangular panel;   the third edge of the third substantially triangular panel coupled to the mobile device housing; and   the third substantially triangular panel extending parallel to the inner surface of the first portfolio wall in the raised position.   
     
     
         10 . The portfolio of  claim 9 , wherein the first substantially triangular panel and second substantially triangular panel are both positioned over the third substantially triangular portion in the raised position; and
 the first substantially rectangular panel and the second substantially rectangular panel are both positioned between the first substantially triangular panel and second substantially triangular panel and over the third substantially triangular portion in the raised position.   
     
     
         11 . The portfolio of  claim 10 , wherein the plurality of panels include creases positioned such that the plurality of panels form three rectangular panels configured to form a raised triangular shape that abuts the mobile device housing to prop up the mobile device housing at an angle relative to the inner surface of the first portfolio wall. 
     
     
         12 . The portfolio of  claim 6 , wherein the first substantially rectangular panel includes a magnet for joining the first substantially rectangular panel to the second substantially rectangular panel in the raised position. 
     
     
         13 . The portfolio of  claim 9 , wherein fabric couples the third substantially triangular panel to the first substantially triangular panel. 
     
     
         14 . The portfolio of  claim 13 , wherein the third substantially triangular panel is integrally coupled to the first substantially triangular panel. 
     
     
         15 . The portfolio of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile device housing is integrally coupled to the first portfolio wall.
