5 Pencils + 4 Rubber Bands = Your New iPhone Stand

[minhwan]

I've got a mini easel came with mini canvas. I bought it because that was kinda cute

Then I thought, "wow this can be ... "

Now it's my iPhone stand, not easel anymore

I still prefer the Paper Clip version:

Dean and Ying's Blog - iPhone Paper Clip Stand

Yes simple and very cheap.Also you can have differend coloured ones (plastic coated)

After seeing this stand, it reminded me of the awesome paper clip one. From THAT, I saw gunnysir talk about the lego thing, so I went and found some legos and made myself a pretty nice stand.





2 8-dot pieces
4 4-dot pieces

The 4-dot blue pieces are for carpet support lol
Optional are 2 2-dot pieces on the other end of the red pieces...

Sorry, but this is retarded. It's not news, it is nice but it is not news. New info about redsn0w is news. A story of how a guy made a lame iPhone holder; not news.

Everyone in my office has a paper clip stand now LOL
we call them "Clippy"

@ajl917, can we see your phone on the stand?

Hey, this design would look pretty nice using thin bamboo instead of pencils. Hmmm, might have to try that. Thanks.

Well I dont have a picture on me, but I would say it's at probably a 70-75 degree angle. Also, my iPhone has a case that is silicone, do it will stay in the case easily; Im not sure how an iPhone with no case would stay...

yeah I know it's nothing special..but I figured I'd mess around with my sons to build something...

[Broomhead]

^^^ lol That's awesome

[alexevo]

What!?!? They're not the Faber Castells??!?! I just ordered 500 of them to market these stands now I have to cancel the order and order the Staedtlers instead! I can't believe it!

Ahem.. sorry about that

On a more important note, I would like to know why the gentleman who created the paperclip stand decided that bending a paperclip in 6 places deemed not only a complete photographic/written instruction manual complete with progress photos but also a YouTube video on how it could be done. I think I speak for all of us when I say that if we are capable of modifying a minicomputer such as the iPhone and making it look completely different from the factory then we can probably look at a single picture of a bent paperclip and make the bends ourselves without visual aids or videos.

But I could be wrong ::dodgy::
