A holder for a smart device has a skeleton made from a bendable metal wire, the skeleton including at least one upper leg extending upwardly, two arms extending outwardly, and two lower legs extending in a forward direction that is generally perpendicular to the orientation of the at least one upper leg and the two arms. Each upper leg has an extremity that is bent to form a hook-shaped retention section, each arm has a hand that is also bent to form retention sections, and each of the lower legs has feet that are bent to form retention sections. The lower edge of the smart device rests adjacent the retention sections formed by the feet, the upper edge of the smart device rests adjacent the retention sections defined by the extremities of the upper legs, and the side edges of the smart device rest adjacent the retention sections defined by the hands.
