The bendable internal frame extends throughout the plush toy and allows for the plush toy to be positioned in any number of ways. The anti-skid material is attached to the exterior of the plush toy both to keep the plush toy from sliding on the surface where it sits, and also to help keep the tablet computer securely in place once the plush toy has been positioned so as to hold the tablet computer.
