Systems, devices, and apparatuses for adjustable stands and mobile computing devices are provided. An example system includes a mobile computing device having a front surface with a display and a rear surface with a first magnetically susceptible region and a second magnetically susceptible region. The first magnetically susceptible region is offset from the second magnetically susceptible region in a translational dimension along the rear surface. The example system also includes an adjustable stand for the mobile computing device. The adjustable stand includes a slidable portion formed with a magnetically susceptible material to slide in the translational dimension along the rear surface. The level of magnetic attraction between the slidable portion and the second magnetically susceptible material of the mobile computing device is greater than a level of magnetic attraction between the slidable portion and the first magnetically susceptible material of the mobile computing device.
