Credit Card iPhone Stand

If you have a membership card that's expired and is just taking up space you can turn it into your own iPhone or iPod stand with just a few cuts.

I used a Dremel to get the job done here, but you can easily do the same thing with a pair of scissors. A hole punch would be handy as well.

All, right let's make this thing!

Duane Reade is New York's "#1 Drug Store" and that's great for them, but I live in Califronia so it's perfect fodder for a project.

Here you can see the main card as well as the two smaller ones that you can put on your keychain.

First step here is to cut a couple notches in the big card. I used a Dremel with a cut-off wheel for this.

I clamped the two keychain cards together and used the cut-off wheel again to cut a couple of angled notches in the cards.

Now we need to cut out a space for the iPhone to go into. I used the Dremel again here.

Alternative: Use a hole punch to punch out the curved bottom of the notch and use a pair of scissors to cut out the rest.

Slide the big card into the notches on the two keychain cards and your stand is ready to go!

Now just drop your iPhone or any other iPhone-shaped gadget and you're good to go!

I originally planned on the phone resting on the big card, but the notches in the front held it on their own. It's still nice to have the full-size card in the back as you can use it to guide the phone into the notches.

That's it, now your iPhone can stand up for itself!
