A portable electronic device dock includes a storage unit and a lid, wherein the lid is adapted to clamp a portable electronic device between a portion of the lid and a portion of the storage unit to retain the portable electronic device in a user-accessible display position. The device dock includes a slide assembly adapted to bias the lid to an open position and a clutch assembly adapted to retain the lid in a clamped position on the portable electronic device. A spring member retains the clutch assembly in a released condition as the lid opens. The slide assembly includes a release tab configured to act on the spring member to allow the clutch assembly to convert to an engaged condition once the lid has reached a fully open position.
