I decided to go digital with all my documents (with Evernote Premium) and needed a device to digitize them. Last week I heard about the idea from http://lifehacker.com/5324574/create-an-iphone-document-scanner-from-cardboard and decided to do it myself from the beginning. I had some unused boxes from Apple products and started sketching with them.

I decided to use iPad package as a bottom and cut a Macbook accessory-box half to use them as poles. Phone holder from the iPhone package is perfect for holding the phone.

Next I taped it together to test the height of the cameraphone and cut through the phone holder with an art knife.

Then I pinned the empty iPhone package to poles to make the stand high enough.
