1. A hinged support apparatus for a portable electronic display comprising:
a mounting plate having a proximal end and a distal end;
an elongated base having a proximal end, a midway point, and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the elongated base is attached to at least a portion of the proximal end of the mounting plate and the midway point creates a proximal half and a distal half of the elongated base;
at least two living hinges on the elongated base, wherein
a first of the at least two living hinges is located between the proximal end and the midway point of the elongated base,
a second of the at least two living hinges is located between the first living hinge and the midway point of the elongated base such that the at least two living hinges are both located on the proximal half,
the at least two living hinges are parallel to each other, and
the at least two living hinges pivot in a same direction;
a first tenon disposed upon the mounting plate;
a second tenon disposed upon the elongated base;
a first mortise disposed upon the elongated base between the proximal end and the distal end of the elongated base; and
