FIG. 1A shows the presentation stand 100 holding the mobile device 102 in a position where the mobile device 102 is able to read barcodes 104 in presentation mode. In particular, the mobile device 102 has been placed within the cradle portion 110 of the presentation stand 100. The gripping members 116a-b on the sides of the cradle portion 110 and the ledge 114 at the bottom of the cradle portion 110 hold the mobile device 102 in place.

While FIGS. 1 and 1A illustrate an example in which the mobile device 102 is placed on the presentation stand 100, the presentation stand 100 may alternatively include components configured to receive different sizes and configurations of the mobile device 100 shown in FIG. 1A. For example, the cradle portion 110 may include adjustable components (e.g., adjustable gripping members 116a-b) that enable mobile devices or barcode assemblies of different sizes and dimensions to securely fit within the cradle portion 110. In this way, the cradle portion 110 can receive a mobile device 102 with or without a case, including a larger battery assist case that provides extended battery power or a basic case for protecting the mobile device 102. Indeed, the cradle portion 110 may be sized or include components that enable a device assembly to be placed securely within the cradle portion 110 of the presentation stand 100. The device assembly may include a mobile device in addition to a battery assist case including modified optics (e.g., a barcode reading enhancement accessory).
