Multi-purpose interface for a portable electronic device

A multi-purpose band (200) for use with a portable electronic device (100) comprises a base link (202), an interface link (203), and a coupling link (204). The base link (202) is joined to the interface link (203) by an interface support hinge (207), and the coupling link (204) is joined among the base link (202), and the interface link (203). The multi-purpose band (200) is configured to be arranged in a band configuration for wearing on a wrist (300) or ankle of a user and in a stand configuration for supporting a portable electronic device (100) at a support angle (211). The interface link (203) defines an interface surface (212). A charging feature (240) may be disposed on the interface link (203) proximate the interface surface (212), wherein the charging feature (240) is configured to facilitate establishing a charging relationship between the charging feature (240) and an electrical connector (166) of the portable electronic device (100) to facilitate engagement between the charging feature (240) and the electrical connector (166).
