First, the shape and size of the lens frame 300 are equal to those of the body 100, and desirably, the lens frame 300 has the shape of a ring so that the second through hole 310 is formed on the central portion thereof. Further, the lens frame 300 consists of an upper plate and a lower plate so that the reading lens 200 is fixedly fitted between the upper plate and the lower plate of the lens frame 300. However, the lens frame 300 may not be limited to such a particular outer shape. Further, the lens frame 300 has a projection-coupling hole 350 formed on a lower end thereof in such a way as to fit the hinge projection 121a of the stand 120 thereto, and the projection- coupling hole 350 serves to allow the hinge projection 121a to be fitted to the inside of the lens frame 300 in a process where the lens frame 300 is attached to the body 100. Further, the lens frame 300 includes a second magnet 320 for applying a magnetic force thereto to allow the detachable attachment to the body 100. As shown in FIG.4A, the second magnet 320 is coupled to the inside of the lens frame 300 in such a way as to allow the lens frame 300 to be attached to the body 100 by means of the magnetic force thereof, and desirably, the second magnet 320 is attached to the first magnet 130 located inside the body 100. Otherwise, the body 100 has no first magnet 130 so that the body 100 is simply attached to the lens frame 300 attached to the back-cover of the smartphone 10 by means of only the magnetic force of the second magnet 320 of the lens frame 300. In this case, the lens frame 300 further includes a fastening part 330 allowing fitting to the body 100, and the fastening part 330 consists of a fitting portion 331 and a fitting protrusion 332. The fastening part 330 adopts screw fastening or concave and convex fastening, and in this case, as shown in FIG.4B, the screw fastening wherein female and male screws are formed on the lens frame 300 and the body 100 is adopted. Otherwise, the concave and convex fastening wherein a protrusion and a groove for fitting the protrusion are formed between the lens frame 300 and the body 100 is adopted. In this case, the lens frame 300 is detachably attached to the body 100 through any one of the magnetic attachment method using the second magnet 320 and the mechanical attachment method using the fastening part 330. According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the reading lens 200 has a size equal to the second through hole 310 of the lens frame 300 in such a way as to be coupled to the inside of the second through hole 310, and desirably, the reading lens 200 is fixedly fitted between the upper plate and the lower plate of the lens frame 300. The body 100 in the second embodiment of the present invention has the same configuration as in the first embodiment of the present invention, but the body 100 in the second embodiment of the present invention is open, while not having the reading lens 200 in the first through hole 111, unlike the first embodiment of the present invention. Instead of the reading lens 200 used in the first and second embodiments of the present invention, a mirror (not shown) for reflecting the user’s face may be used, which is provided for a user in a young adult age range. Instead of the reading lens 200 and the mirror, further, a complex lens (not shown), which combines the reading lens 200 and the mirror, may be used so that the user’s face or hair is reflected through the mirror and the object such as a small character is focused through the reading lens 200. Further, the configurations of the reading lens 200 and the body 100 in the second embodiment of the present invention will not be explained anymore, for the brevity of the description, because they are described in detail in the first embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the stand / grip 1 in the second embodiment of the present invention allows the body 100 to be attached to the smartphone 10 in the state where the lens frame 300 is attached to the body 100, thereby being usually used as a stand and a grip for the smartphone 10, but if a reading glasses are needed, the stand / grip 1 allows the lens frame 300 to be detached from the body 100, thereby being used as the reading glasses using the reading lens 200. FIG.5 is a perspective view showing a stand / grip for a mobile device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown, a stand / grip 1 for a mobile device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is configured to have a lens frame 300 having a first separable rod 341 and a second separable rod 342 separable from each other in such a way as to form a second through hole 310 for fixedly supporting a reading lens 200 thereto if joined to each other and a second hinge 343 located on one side of the first separable rod 341 and on one side of the second separable rod 342. Referring to FIG. 5, the lens frame 300 has the shape of a ring, and the ring-shaped lens frame 300 is divided into the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342. In this case, one side of the first separable rod 341 and one side of the second separable rod 342 are connected to each other by means of the second hinge 343 in such a way as to rotate around the second hinge 343 and be thus separated from each other or joined to each other. If the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342 are joined to each other, the second through hole 310 is formed so that the reading lens 200 is supportedly fitted to the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342, and therefore, it is desirable that the second through hole 310 be formed inside the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342 in such a way as to fit the reading lens 200 thereto. Further, the lens frame 300 has a projection-coupling hole 350 formed under the second through hole 310 formed when the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342 are joined to each other, so that the hinge projection 121a of the stand 120 is fitted to the projection- coupling hole 350. In this case, one end of the first separable rod 341 may be unintentionally open from one end of the second separable rod 342 by means of the projection-coupling hole 350 formed by the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342, but since the lens frame 300 consisting of the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342 is attached to the back-cover of the smartphone 10 by means of a magnet, the lens frame 300 is kept at a state where the reading lens 200 is fixed thereto, while the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342 are not open from each other. In this case, the reading lens 200 is replaced easily through the lens frame 300 consisting of the first separable rod 341 and the second separable rod 342. While the present invention has been described with reference to the particular illustrative embodiments, it is not to be restricted by the embodiments but only by the appended claims.
