The invention relates to a stand for a hand-held device and a protective case comprising the stand. The stand comprises a first base, a second base, a first elastic sheet, a second elastic sheet and a limiting device. The first ends of the first elastic sheet and the second elastic sheet are respectively arranged on the two sides of the first base. The limiting device enables the second end of the first base and the second end of the second base to slide separately and not overlap each other within a limited range. When the second end of the first elastic sheet and the second end of the second elastic sheet carry out a first relative displacement, the first base and the second base forms a second relative displacement.
