1. In combination:
a) a portable article having a body with a peripheral edge; and
b) a support assembly for displaying the portable article, the support assembly comprising:
a frame configured to engage the body so as to support the portable article in a display position; and
a blocking assembly configured to maintain the portable article in the display position,
the blocking assembly comprising a plurality of arms which, with the support assembly in a secured state, cooperatively confine movement of the portable article in the display position relative to the frame,
wherein one of the arms is part of a first component,
wherein there is at least a first connector on the first component and at least a first connector on the frame,
the at least first connector on the first component and the at least first connector on the frame configured so that the first component can be moved in a first direction: a) from a first pre-assembly position, spaced from the frame, towards the frame; and b) into a first operative position to thereby cause the at least first connector on the first component to engage the at least first connector on the frame,
the first component, including the at least first connector on the first component, and the frame, including the at least first connector on the frame, configured so that as an incident of the first component moving from the first pre-assembly position into the first operative position, the first component is substantially blocked from translating relative to the frame in a direction transversely to the first direction.
