1. A protective case for a mobile device comprising:
a housing defining a recess to receive the mobile device;
a chassis residing within a void in the housing;
at least one permanent magnet contained within the chassis; and
wherein the chassis is biased to have an external surface substantially flush with an external surface of the housing when no external magnetic mass is present and can rise above the external surface when an external magnetic mass is present, and
wherein the at least one permanent magnet exerts sufficient magnetic force to hold the case and the mobile device on a substantially vertical surface.
