The cheapest iPhone stand you'll ever make

Filed Under: geek it yourself

Yes, most of us geeky news watchers know that there are plenty of iHacks for the iPhone these days. For those that don't want to use AT&T with those svelte and newer iPhones, there are software tools that will unlock that iHandset and allow you to use it with any GSM wireless carrier you can find.

But sometimes, the greatest joys in our iLives are those low-tech hacks. You know -- the kind that take virtually no effort or resources but which allow for complete satisfaction at the end of the day. Enter the iStand. Or, at least, that is what I am calling it.

Using a larger-sized paperclip coated with wither electrical tape of some thick heat-shrink tubing, you too can make that stand to ensure your iPhone stands at a perfect angle while you watch that movie or video clip -- or if you just prefer to sand your iPhone up all the time instead of it laying flat on its back. Cost: virtually zero.

    Hanga, stop advertising the site! On a serious note if there any UK readers interested in purchasing the Apple iPhone, I can recommend the site - I found it quite useful for reviews, images, features and places to buy. UK users be aware that you can only buy the iPhone from Apple, o2 and Carphone Warehouse!
