A portable media reproduction system preferably includes a housing with an
attached docking component for receiving a portable media player, the
docking component being recessed into the housing when in a closed
position such that the first side forms a uniformly substantially flat
surface. A latch is provided for holding the docking component in the
closed position, and a connector connects to the portable media player.
The connector is positioned on the docking component to receive the
portable media player when the docking component is in an open position.
A base component is recessed into the second side of the housing when in
a closed position such that the second side of the housing forms a
uniformly substantially flat surface. The base component is extendable
into an open position such that the it supports the portable media
reproduction system in a substantially upright position. Both the base
component and the docking component are preferably spring loaded such
that actuating the latch releases the docking component and the base
component from their respective closed positions, allowing them to spring
into their respective open positions.
