     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0009]    It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure. 
         [0010]    Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. 
         [0011]    The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like. 
         [0012]      FIG. 1  illustrates a portable power source  100  for providing power to an electronic device  200  (also see  FIG. 5 ), such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The portable power source  100  includes a housing  50  and a support member  40 . The support member  40  includes a main body  41  detachably mounted in the housing  50 . A notch  42  is defined on the main body  41  and configured to latch and support the electronic device  200 . 
         [0013]    The main body  41  includes an exterior surface  411  and an interior surface  412  opposite to the exterior surface  411 . The notch  42  is recessed from the exterior surface  411  toward the interior surface  412 . As illustrated, the notch  42  includes an inclined surface  421 , two opposite sidewalls  422  extending from the inclined surface  421 , and two opposite end walls defining two first cutouts  423 . The inclined surface  421  is configured to support the electronic device  200  in a desired angle. 
         [0014]    The housing  50  includes a first housing  10  and a second housing  20 . The first housing  10  can be assembled on the second housing  20  by a latch or other mechanism. A receiving portion  30  is formed on the housing  50  and defines a receiving slot  31  configured to receive the support member  40 . In this embodiment, the receiving slot  31  is recessed from the first housing  10  towards the second housing  20 . The receiving slot  31  includes a bottom surface  311 , two side surfaces  312  perpendicularly extending from the bottom surface  311 , and two end surfaces defining two second cutouts  313 . 
         [0015]    The receiving portion  30  further defines at least one first latching slot  32  and at least one second latching slot  33 . In this embodiment, the at least one first latching slot  32  is defined on the two first side surfaces  312 . The at least one second latching slot  33  is defined on the bottom surface  312 . 
         [0016]      FIGS. 2 and 3  illustrate that the main body  41  further includes at least one first hook  43  and at least one second hook  44 . The at least one first hook  43  protrudes from two sides of the interior surface  412 . The at least one second hook  44  protrudes from a middle portion of the interior surface  412 , positioned between the at least one first hook  43 , and is adjacent to the end walls. In this embodiment, there are six first hooks  43  protruding from the sides of the interior surface  412  and two second hooks  44  protruding from a middle portion of the interior surface  412 . The at least one first hook  43  is configured to be clasped in and secured in the at least one first latching slot  32 . The at least one second hook  44  is configured to be clasped in and secured in the at least one second latching slot  33   
         [0017]    As illustrated, the first housing  10  includes a mounting surface  13  opposite to the second housing  20 . The receiving slot  31  is defined on the mounting surface  13 . 
         [0018]    When the main body  41  is assembled in the receiving slot  31 , the exterior surface  411  is coplanar with the mounting surface  13  and an included angle is defined between the inclined surface  421  and the mounting surface  13 . 
         [0019]      FIG. 2  also illustrates a power supply module  60  of the portable power source  100 . The power supply module  60  is positioned in the housing  50 . As illustrated, a discharging interface  14  and a charging interface  15  are defined on an end of the first housing  10 . Thereby, the power module  60  can provide power to the electronic device  200  by the discharging interface  14  and can be charged by the charging interface  15 . In this embodiment, both the discharging interface  14  and the charging interface  15  are universal serial bus (USB) interfaces. 
         [0020]      FIG. 4  illustrates an assembled view of the portable power source  100 . As illustrated, the first hooks  43  are received in the first latching slot  32 . The second hooks  44  are received in the second latching slot  33 . Then, the support member  40  is assembled in the receiving slot  31 . 
         [0021]      FIG. 5  illustrates the electronic device  200  assembled in the notch  42  and latched by the inclined surface  421 . Thus, the electronic device  200  can be supported at a desired angle to make it more comfortable for viewing a display or otherwise utilizing the electronic device  200 .
