Turn a CD Jewel Case Into a Mobile Device Stand

I already have a handy plastic stand for my Blackerry that has a built-in USB cable at my desk at work.
But I was thinking about being back at home.
I don't want to remove my charger/stand and take it with me.

I should be able to make something.

I tried making the  business card Ipod stand Instructable, but I couldn't get it ot work. It kept collapsing on me.

So, I looked around my cube to see what I had.

In my backpack I had some jewel cases that I saved from some CDs I just ripped into my mp3 library. I like album covers and liner notes (when will mp3 downloads come with this info in.pdfs?).

So, this is what I came up with. 

You have to be careful removing the lid on the jewel case - the hinge tabs are very fragile.

You can still hold CDs in the bottom tray, display the album cover, or other pictures. 

The only other thing you need is a Post-it note.
 

Step 1 Open up The Jewel Case

It really doesn't do anything for us like this.

If you wanted it to be a more permanent solution, I think it might work to take out the middle plastic peice the holds the cd... That way you would have more of a lip for your mobile device.. Also then you could probably slip your charger through from the back to use as a charging station too. :)
