Claim:
A retractable handle for an electronic device, the handle comprising two mating parts comprising a first mating part and a second mating part, the handle being configured to be housed within a housing of the electronic device, the handle being configured to be: retracted through an aperture in the housing and into the housing along a sliding axis of the handle to provide a retracted handle position so that the first mating part disappears into the housing and the second mating part disappears in part but does not fully disappear into the housing so as to leave at least a corner of the second mating part exposed; and extended so as to reappear through the aperture in the housing and out of the housing along the sliding axis to provide an extended handle position, wherein the handle is configured to be formable to be held by a user in the extended position such that the second mating part of the handle in the extended position is bendable away from the sliding axis and into a holding position so that a holding axis of the second mating part is offset from the sliding axis, and wherein said handle is configured to be housed within said housing on one side thereof with another handle configured to be housed within said housing on an opposing side thereof so as to allow holding of second mating parts of extended handles separately bent by each hand of a user when in use while viewing an electronic display on said housing disposed in between said extended handles.
