Make your own iPhone stand on the cheap

You might call us “advocates of frugality”—after all, it’s much nicer than saying we’re cheap skinflints. So, instead of buying yourself an expensive case for the iPhone that doubles as a stand for watching videos, why not just make your own?

But how? you may wonder. I don’t have the material or the skill, the sheer know-how, that such an endeavor would require. Au contraire, we tell you. All you need is some will and a business card (it doesn’t even have to be your business card).

Instructables leads you through the process of making a business card stand for your iPhone (fully backwards compatible with the iPod). Besides the card, you’ll just need a ruler and some scissors or a knife. It’s cheap, easy, compact, and easily replaceable. “Advocates of frugality” it is.
