Easiest iPhone / iPod Touch Stand Ever

 The other day I was looking for a way to prop up my iPhone to watch some video podcasts, and came across a whole bunch of interesting Instructables to make some simple stands and after trying a few of them, came across this hilariously simple way of creating a great looking stand for your iPhone or iPod touch.

All you need is a small spindle of CDs or DVDs (the 25 pack works best) and optionally some old CDs or some patterned paper and a pair of scissors...

Step 1 Take apart the DVD spindle

This is about as hard as it gets ;-D Take apart the spindle and use the clear cover to store the CDs/DVDs. Set aside the clear plastic disc that usually is placed at the bottom of the pile of discs.

Nice stand. Here's one I'm using. It's just an acrylic name card stand you can buy at any stationary store for $1 :)

Great. I am not going back from this now.
I also made a slight adjustment to it to allow vertical charging.

Works like a champ.
I'm using a Vinyl covered metal stand for store displays.  A business card holder works also.  YOu can get the displays at any store if you talk to the guys in the back.  Most people think you can't go behind those swinging doors but you sure can if you're discrete.  Often you'll find the break room right there.  Talk to these guys and they can often give you some good freebees

You could also trace the design onto the clear disc and then color it in however you want
