Abstract
A combined passive acoustic speaker and stand for a portable, handheld electronic device includes a block with an inclined slot in the side oriented at an acute angle with respect to a bottom of the block to receive and retain a portion of the portable, handheld electronic device therein at an acute inclined angle with respect to a support surface. An aperture in the bottom of the slot extends through the side of the block and into a hollow therein. The hollow includes a non-symmetrical, arcuate-axis, frusto-conical horn with a larger forward sound outlet opening in the front of the block and a smaller rearward sound inlet opening in a rear of the horn open to the aperture in the bottom of the slot.
