2. An article as claimed in claim 1 comprising a planar member formed of a suitable material having a first surface and a second surface, said member having i) a first upstanding terminal portion which overlaps a portion of said first surface as to define a hand-receiving recess whereby a portion of a user's hand is operably received and retained in said hand-receiving recess in said stress-free manner; and ii) a second terminal portion upstanding opposite said first terminal portion and which overlaps a portion of said second surface as to define a hand-holdable electronic device-receiving recess whereby a portion of a hand-holdable electronic device is received and retained.
