1. A supporting device for a portable processing and/or telecommunication apparatus or an accessory, comprising a first portion adapted to be supported by a supporting structure and a second portion comprising magnetic elements for retaining said portable processing and/or telecommunication apparatus or said accessory, wherein the first and second portions are joined together in a pivotable manner through at least one hinge that allows a rotation of one portion of the first and second portions with respect to the other portion around a hinge axis, whereby the supporting device is adapted to take on a first configuration of minimum size, in which said second portion is superimposed on the first portion, and at least a second configuration of use in which said second portion is rotated at a selectable angle with respect to the first portion,
wherein said first portion and said second portion are hinged along portions of a respective edge that are mutually parallel and parallel to the hinge axis so that the supporting device opens like a book from the first configuration of minimum size to a selected configuration of use,
wherein said first portion and said second portion are made as plate elements, each of which comprises a rigid main body comprising a plurality of seats adapted to receive respective magnetic elements, and a pair of covering elements applied on opposite faces of the rigid main body at the magnetic elements, not interfering with a magnetic field generated by said magnetic elements, and
wherein each covering element comprises a first layer of rigid material adapted to stably adhere to the rigid main body of a respective plate element and a second layer of soft material adapted to receive in contact said portable processing and/or telecommunication apparatus or said accessory.
