Nowadays it is almost impossible to imagine a person who would not have such a technical device as a mobile phone.
With the invention of this technology, life has become much simpler: if you need to make an urgent call, the phone is always with you, besides, it is also much easier to find someone... In general, there is no point in describing all the advantages of a mobile phone, since they are really obvious and do not need advertising .
How to make a phone stand with your own hands: options for the office and car
Whether at work or in the car, we all need to be connected at all times.
At the same time, you don’t want to spend a lot of money on expensive stands, because they can be made from waste and used materials. Card stand.
The simplest version of a phone holder is a card stand. To make it, you need to carefully bend the unnecessary plastic card in two places, as shown in the photo below, without allowing it to break.
Experience shows that a plastic card stand is very reliable and can even withstand air travel during severe turbulence.
Stand made from office clips.
To make a phone stand from paper clips or binders, as they are also called, you will need one large and one small clip. The legs of the small clamp should be placed between the holding part of the large clamp and the resulting structure should be placed on the table so that the larger clamp rests on its surface.
Similar coasters can be made in five minutes from clothespins.
Paper clips make an excellent car stand. To make it, you need to disassemble a large clamp and slightly bend the metal parts, as shown in the photo below.
To avoid damaging the surface of the phone, it is recommended to wrap metal fasteners with thread in several layers.
We return the holders to their place, additionally securing them with adhesive tape and a rubber band. We attach the clip to the ventilation blinds. The phone is securely attached between the metal parts of the binder. Paper stand.
Ordinary office paper, folded in a certain way, can even support the weight of a large smartphone. To make a paper stand, you need to measure the dimensions of the phone and adjust the pattern below to fit them.
Cut the piece out of paper, fold it along the dotted lines and insert the side parts into the slots. This design is good because it allows you to charge your phone without removing it from the stand.
How to make your own phone stand from paper clips
There are several ways to make a stand from clamps. Let's talk about simple and more complex ones.
Method with two clamps of different sizes
What you will need to make: one large clamp and a second smaller one - medium or small. Nothing more is needed.
Buy two clamps of different sizes
You only need to connect these two office tools in a certain way:
- We turn the smaller clamp handles in the opposite direction. We connect them with each other.
- We place the two connected handles in a large clamp.
Insert the handles of the small one into the large clamp
Place the phone on the ready-made stand
Method with two clamps of the same size
The clamps may be the same size. Then you just need to connect them differently: bend the handles of one clamp in the same way and connect them, but place them in the other clamp, not them, but the base of the clamp itself. Place the phone between the handles of the attached binder.
The stand can be made from two clamps of the same size
Another method using clamps of the same size. We will additionally need a sheet of paper in it. Its width will be equal to the width of the clamps, and its length will be the height of your phone. Simply clamp the edges of the paper with clamps on both sides. The lower handles of the binders will be the base of the stand, and the upper ones will be the holders. Place your phone between the top handles.
Attach two clips to a piece of paper
One clamp method
If you only have one clamp, you can still make a stand out of it. The advantage of this option is that you can attach this stand to any object that will “take” the clip.
Additionally, you also need insulation from the wires (for the previous methods it can also be used). This is optional, but it is advisable to ensure that the paperclip does not scratch the phone. You also need a small piece of fabric and an elastic band (any kind, maybe a small one for hair or several stationery ones).
Insulation from the cable is needed to soften the landing of the phone on the stand
So, let's start assembling the stand:
We study popular options for stands for home comfort
A desktop phone stand for the home should not only be comfortable, but also durable, stylish and fit well into the interior of your home.
Let's consider options for such products. Stand made of newspaper tubes.
A phone stand made from newspaper tubes will be a wonderful gift and an excellent decoration for any interior.
To weave such a stand, you will need several pre-painted long newspaper tubes, scissors, knitting needles, a little glue and varnish.
We place six blanks parallel to each other at a distance of approximately 1-1.5 cm and firmly fix them in the machine or in any convenient way. We place knitting needles or wire in the outer racks to make it more convenient to form smooth and neat contours of the product. We begin to braid the base with a working tube using the rope technique or calico weaving. We monitor the parallelism of the rows and, if necessary, coat them with glue for better fixation.
We weave a rectangular piece of the required length. We take out the knitting needles or wire. The ends of the stands are carefully tucked in and trimmed. We give the workpiece the required curved shape, if necessary, wetting it a little with water.
Similarly, we weave the leg of the stand using fewer tubes.
We bend the finished leg, install it on the main part and secure its posts between the rows of the stand. We cut off the excess and hide it. We coat the product with glue, if desired, additionally paint it and cover it with 1-2 layers of varnish. After complete drying, the stand can be used for its intended purpose. Stand made of origami modules.
Modular origami is a fairly young, but very popular type of needlework. With its help, you can make many unusual and original gizmos, including a phone stand from modules.
To make the stand you will need double-sided paper in blue and pink. We cut the sheets into blanks and fold the modules.
We start weaving from the base of the stand. It will require 28 blue modules, which must be connected to each other and closed in a ring. We make three more rows in the same way. From the fifth row we reduce the number of modules by 1, 2, 3, 4 pieces. In the seventh row we place one pink module in the middle.
In the eighth row we put 6 modules, make a skip, another 10 modules, skip, 6 modules. The number of pink modules is 2 pieces. In the next row, we place three pink modules on the pink section. We begin to design the shaped edging of the stand, as shown in the photo below.
In the back part we form a heart-shaped pattern, above which we install a number of blue modules. Gradually narrow the stand until a triangular wedge forms at its back.
The module stand is ready!
Phone stand made from unusual and scrap materials
Stationery binders
The device is quite durable and can hold the phone.
If you suddenly need to fix your phone in a vertical position in the office: here's how to quickly make a phone stand using improvised materials with your own hands. The binder consists of two parts, a colored clip made of plastic or metal and a steel-colored paper clip. We take two binders and fasten them together. We push one paper clip towards the phone.
We use pencils
Try making a phone stand out of pencils.
Materials needed: 6 pencils and four erasers. We assemble a three-dimensional triangle: a tetrahedron. We fasten the ends of two pencils together and insert the third between them.
Important! To build a structure, you need to take pencils with rubber bands at the ends to avoid unnecessary slipping.
Bottle models
To make a model from bottles, prepare the material: any bottle of cleaning product, dishwashing detergent or shampoo, scissors.
Bottom line: the work should resemble a pocket.
Important! The size of the bottle should be at least twice the length of the phone.
Cut off the neck of the bottle and the front wall to the middle. This stand will be useful for use while charging. To do this, make a hole in the upper rear part of the container for the charger. Fold the phone inward, and insert the charger first into the hole, then into the socket.
This model can be painted or decorated with paper or fabric.
Paper clips
The option with a paper clip will require minimal cost and time.
The paper clip must be straightened into a straight line. We bend both edges of the paper clip upward, retreating 1 cm. Then we retreat 4 cm on both sides, this part of the structure should fit snugly to the table, like a support. The next step is to bend the paperclip in the middle upwards so that the previous bent parts remain straight, perpendicular to the table.
From a credit card
Place the resulting zigzag on the table, the work is ready.
Place the old, unnecessary credit card in front of you in a vertical position. Step back 1 cm from the edge and bend the edge towards you. Divide the rest in half, bend it, but in the opposite direction.
From Lego
Take a wide plate - the basis of a children's construction set.
It is necessary to attach several bricks from the designer to the plate to support the back panel of the phone; the angle at which it will be fixed will depend on the height of the wall. To fix the device on the sides, take a few more identical bricks and secure them to the base.
From the cassette case
We insert the mobile device into the pocket where the cassette was once stored.
If you have an old cassette box at home, it’s very easy to create a holding structure: open it as far back as possible so that the part with the cassette pocket remains in front, and the top cover of the cassette box is placed on the table.
DIY phone stand made of paper and cardboard
Attention! Before you make an origami phone stand with your own hands from paper, find and prepare the patterns you like.
You can make a small phone stand with your own hands from the simplest materials.
- Folding cardboard stand. You can make a phone stand from thick cardboard. Take a sheet of cardboard and cut out a shape: 10 by 20 cm. Fold it in half. Step back 2 cm from the fold and cut the cardboard with scissors at an angle of 45 degrees, not reaching the edge 2.5 cm. Then change the angle at which you cut, it should be perpendicular to the bottom edge, in this position cut another 1.5 cm, lower the corner of the scissors 45 degrees and cut 1.5 cm down, and then again perpendicular to the bottom edge, all the way to the end.
Homemade smartphone stand made of cardboard.
- Cardboard triangle. Before making a simple cardboard phone stand, prepare the materials: a strip of cardboard, push pins, glue or tape. Take a strip of cardboard and fold it into a triangle. Secure the edges with glue, tape or buttons.
In 5 seconds you can make a strong and sturdy stand for your phone.
- From the sleeve. An excellent DIY phone stand made of cardboard will come out of the remaining paper towel roll. The wide sleeve must be cut in half. In the resulting part, cut a horizontal hole where the phone will be placed. You need to make legs from the buttons so that the stand can be placed on the table.
Here's how to quickly and easily make a functional phone stand with your own hands from cardboard.
- Origami. A regular A4 sheet will make a good paper phone stand. There are several schemes by which you can create an excellent support for the device. Knowing how to make a paper phone stand, you can always fold it in a few minutes and use it with pleasure.

DIY wooden phone stand
We take a wooden beam and make a blank out of it, leveling and processing the edges. We attach the gadget and cut it to size. The corners must be rounded and sanded. Having made markings for the grooves, we cut them out. Take a chisel and thoroughly clean the cut grooves. Sand the work again before applying oil.
The homemade and original stand is ready.
DIY wire phone stand
Using ordinary wire, twisting it in a variety of ways according to patterns, you can create an original holder for a mobile phone. The main thing is that the weight of the device is evenly distributed on the homemade holder.
cat
For such a cute stand that you can give to your girlfriend, you will need: a jigsaw, a chisel, PVA or D3 glue (PVA based), grit No. 80 and No. 120, acrylic paint, acrylic varnish, and of course, a piece of wooden board and a plane. First, saw off the workpiece of the required thickness and draw a circle and a cat with a simple pencil. Then, using a jigsaw, cut out the desired shapes. A strip for the telephone is cut out or cut out with a chisel in a circle.
The blank of the phone stand with your own hands must be carefully processed with sandpaper. First we take a coarser grain size - No. 80, then we open it with red paint. It is better to take acrylic paint, as it has no odor. You can carry out the entire process at home. Then, after the paint has completely dried, the surface is sanded again with sandpaper, but with a finer grit - No. 120. Then you need to cover the product with another layer of paint. After drying, a layer of acrylic varnish is also applied. This is a prerequisite when choosing acrylic paint. Any other varnish will not work.
After complete drying, the DIY phone stand is assembled together. The cat is glued to the stand using thick PVA glue or an analogue of D3, but also based on PVA. It is stronger than PVA and you won’t have to worry about your phone. The stand will support any weight. You can also cut out any character instead of a cat, for a child - a favorite cartoon character, and for yourself - a little man.
Expired bank card
This is a more complex design that requires additional materials. What you will need:
- Glue, preferably “Moment”.
- Pliers.
- Something the size of a bank card or a telephone.
- Well, the main “ingredient” is 2 paper clips.
That's all you need to make a phone stand out of paperclips. But no one limits the master’s imagination - you might want to decorate your stand, then you can use whatever is at hand. Let it be some stones, rhinestones, buttons, pieces of fabric or leather, whatever you can find within the framework of your taste and sense of beauty.
You can also go beyond aesthetics and add functionality to the holder. For example, attach clips or elastic bands at the corners so that the phone is fixed and does not fall out of the structure.
Instructions for implementation
How to make a phone stand from a paper clip - step-by-step instructions:
- Take 2 paper clips and bend them until an angle of approximately 60-70 degrees is formed.
- Create a loop shape by bending the free end of the paperclip on the shorter part so that it touches the second rod.
- On the second, longer part, you need to measure more than half and bend the metal in the opposite direction along this mark. As a result, the second, flat part of the longer half should lie with its entire area on the table or any other surface where the stand will be placed. The long part of the future clamp must be divided for bending so that its flat half is the same in length as the shorter edge of the structure. When installing the stand on a surface, the angle of 60 degrees should be on top.
- To finish the base, you need to take pliers and bend the edge of the flat part (the longer half) upward so that the device can rest against this bent part when installed.
- Repeat all manipulations with the second paper clip. It is important that they turn out identical, since the stand must be stable, because no one wants it to wobble or the phone to fall out of the structure, roll down, or be tilted in any direction.
- Take the material prepared for the backrest (an expired plastic bank card). Place the map on the workpieces to mark the places where you need to apply the prepared superglue. Glue the card to the metal as carefully as possible, maintaining symmetry.
When gluing, we must not forget to follow the instructions of the selected adhesive - as a rule, after application, you need to wait a couple of seconds before applying and pressing the card; the holding time in this position depends on the type of product.
Decoration methods
The stand made of paper clips for your smartphone is ready, now it’s time for a flight of fancy. The first thing you can do is to initially take colored paper clips so that the finished design turns out bright. If there are none, the metal can be painted with a spray can or nail polish.
The second is card manipulation. Here you can come up with many decoration options, for example, sew colored leather, buttons or rhinestones onto the fabric, and then cover the card with it. Or, on the contrary, you can choose a material of a single color or leather and make the stand laconic. It’s even easier to cover everything with stickers. For example, when making a holder for a child, it is better to choose stickers with cartoon characters or the now popular superhero theme.
Simple wooden stand
Such a simple stand can only be made if you own a hand router. Then a thin strip (slightly larger than the thickness of your smartphone) and a compartment for small items are cut out of a simple blank of the required thickness. The recess can be used to store a phone charger or hold headphones so they don’t get lost.
All that remains is to go through it several times with sandpaper and acrylic varnish. We will not repeat the sequence of actions, since everything is described in detail in the first subtitle.
Other ideas
What else can you make a phone stand from, available tools:
- Sunglasses. Fold the arms and secure your smartphone in them. The glasses should be large so that the smartphone does not overweight and the structure does not fall.
- Use non-slip car mats. Place them under the phone, and use any sufficiently large object as a stand: a box, a glass, etc.
- Take 6-8 household clothespins. They should be smooth, large, and made of strong material. You'll also need a pencil. Clamp the pencil with clothespins, leaving a small distance in the center equal to approximately half the length of the device. Now place the clothespins with the pencil on the table, with the inner clothespins facing up. They will serve as a phone stand. The remaining clothespins hold the structure in place.
- Build a phone stand from a regular sheet of thick paper (for printing) and a stapler.
- The smartphone can be secured to any handy object using a stretchy elastic band.
- Take an unnecessary case and glue it with double tape (only tightly) to a box or other item. Just insert your phone into the design when you are going to watch something.
Hiking option
This DIY phone stand hangs on your keys and is always within reach. You can use it at work and on the go. This small wooden “stick” does not take up any space in your pocket, but it fully performs its function of supporting you in an inclined position.
It is better to make it from hard wood - beech, oak, ash, hornbeam, walnut, etc. This is necessary so that a piece does not break off when pressing the keys in your pocket. The length of the product is 6-7 cm, width is 3 cm. Stepping back a little from the edge, cut out a small square section with a jigsaw. Then a hole is drilled on the opposite side for a ring on which the keys are hung.
Then, according to a well-known scheme, everything is processed with sandpaper and opened with varnish. You can also pre-treat the wood with stain, giving the wood the desired shade.

Temporary cardboard option
While you are thinking about making your own from wood, we can offer a temporary option made from cardboard. Look carefully in the photo at how to cut out the required part from a simple rectangle of corrugated cardboard, bent in half.
But this option can be used temporarily, as it does not look very nice. As you can see, making an original and effective stand is not difficult, the main thing is the desire and availability of the necessary tools.
Today it is impossible to imagine a modern person without a mobile phone, because it is not only a necessary thing, but also a stylish accessory. But a mobile phone has one significant drawback - it often gets lost. In order to no longer face the problem of tedious searching, you need to determine some permanent place for the device - for example, a stand. You can buy it at the store or make it yourself.
Types of phone stands
By material
In order to know how to make a convenient phone stand, let’s find out what material is used to make it.
Often, an owner who wants to always have a phone at hand wants to position it in a convenient way.
- Metal. The metal accessory will be durable and last a long time. The cost of such a thing will be higher in comparison with others made from more affordable material.
- Tree. Popular and accessible material. Bamboo and ash are a common type of wood that is used to make holders.
- Ceramics. These holders look elegant, but, unfortunately, are very fragile. Masters who work with this material make coasters in the shape of animals, shoes, hearts, and geometric shapes.
- Textile. A more childish option is when the phone is placed on a small, specially sewn pillow or soft toy. You can make this type of phone stand with your own hands.
- Plastic. A universal material that allows you to choose color and shape.
- Paper. You can very easily make a phone stand out of paper with your own hands. This is a practical, lightweight option when there is no alternative at hand.
Modern smartphones have learned to do many different things, successfully replacing our watches, voice recorders, navigators, players, and even mobile cinemas.
By style
Note! When choosing a stand style, consider not only your individual preferences, but also the design features of the room in which it will stand.
How to make a simple phone stand?
If you decide to create a stand yourself, you should first prepare all the necessary materials - a beautiful fabric, PVA glue, scissors, a marker, a stationery knife, a plastic container that should be flat (you can use a jar from any cosmetic product).
First, you need to go through all the empty bottles and jars in your house - choose the one that is the right size for your phone, and wash it thoroughly using hot water. Now you need to dry it well to remove all moisture, otherwise your stand will not last long.
We take the phone and apply it to the container, while placing their lower planes at the same level. Using a marker, we leave a mark on the bottle - we select the height of the future stand, which will be as comfortable as possible for you. On the front of the bottle we make a horizontal line and continue it on the sides.
We turn the bottle and draw its holder on the back. We make it with a sufficiently large hole that will fully correspond to the size and shape of the “plug” - it should fit into it quite easily when charging the phone.
Using a utility knife or scissors, we cut out the stand along the already outlined contour. Take sandpaper (fine) and carefully sand all the edges until they are perfectly smooth. You need to sand over the entire rest of the surface of the future stand, as it should acquire a slight roughness in order to better bond with the glue.
Next, take a piece of bright fabric (here you can use any material). The main thing is to take a piece so that it is completely enough to wrap the entire stand. Place the material face down.
We lubricate the front wall of the future stand with a fairly thick layer of PVA and press it as tightly as possible against the fabric in those places that we determined earlier. Now we coat all the sides of the stand with glue, do not forget about the back part, which also needs to be processed. Pull the fabric tightly so that there are no air bubbles or folds. We wrap the fabric in the same way in the bottom area - we must try to secure it well in the shape of the bottle.
As soon as the material is evenly distributed over the surface of the bottle, and you have secured it with glue on all sides of the product, with the exception of the bottom, take scissors and carefully cut off all excess as close to the edges as possible. Next, apply another layer of glue.
According to the shape of the bottom of the bottle, I cut out a separate piece of material and glue it to the bottom to neatly close all the cuts. Cover the bottom with an additional layer of glue.
At the end, you need to dry the stand thoroughly - you need to place it in such a way that the product does not come into contact with anything. We hang the stand on some kind of hook, spoon, pencil, pen, or place it in a glass.
Once the product is completely dry, use a utility knife to carefully cut a hole in the holder. You need to check whether you have secured the material to the cuts well. All protruding edges must be carefully glued.
How to make your own phone stand from paper clips
There are several ways to make a stand from clamps. Let's talk about simple and more complex ones.
Method with two clamps of different sizes
What you will need to make: one large clamp and a second smaller one - medium or small. Nothing more is needed.
Buy two clamps of different sizes
You only need to connect these two office tools in a certain way:
- We turn the smaller clamp handles in the opposite direction. We connect them with each other.
- We place the two connected handles in a large clamp.
Insert the handles of the small one into the large clamp
Place the phone on the ready-made stand
Method with two clamps of the same size
The clamps may be the same size. Then you just need to connect them differently: bend the handles of one clamp in the same way and connect them, but place them in the other clamp, not them, but the base of the clamp itself. Place the phone between the handles of the attached binder.
The stand can be made from two clamps of the same size
Another method using clamps of the same size. We will additionally need a sheet of paper in it. Its width will be equal to the width of the clamps, and its length will be the height of your phone. Simply clamp the edges of the paper with clamps on both sides. The lower handles of the binders will be the base of the stand, and the upper ones will be the holders. Place your phone between the top handles.
Attach two clips to a piece of paper
One clamp method
If you only have one clamp, you can still make a stand out of it. The advantage of this option is that you can attach this stand to any object that will “take” the clip.
Additionally, you also need insulation from the wires (for the previous methods it can also be used). This is optional, but it is advisable to ensure that the paperclip does not scratch the phone. You also need a small piece of fabric and an elastic band (any kind, maybe a small one for hair or several stationery ones).
Insulation from the cable is needed to soften the landing of the phone on the stand
So, let's start assembling the stand:
- Carefully remove the handles from the base of the clamp and bend their upper round parts inward using pliers (use a piece of fabric so as not to scratch the handles of the clamp). These folds will help securely secure the phone to the stand.
Remove the handles from the clamp
Insert the wire into the insulation
Attach the handles to the base of the clamp
Use a regular hair tie to secure the handles.
Secure your phone to the finished cradle
Convenient and stylish mobile phone holder for your car
This stand option is ideal for phones with a wide display and a long body. You can make such a model yourself; moreover, it is very easy to use and is perfect for use in a car. And to create it you will only have to spend a couple of minutes.
So, you will need to take a binder (this is a clamp that is used to fasten sheets of paper together). You also need to choose a suction cup, which will become a fastening device. In the place where the suction cup has a hook, we attach a binder to it and our phone stand is ready. You can easily attach it in any convenient place.
Attach a suction cup to the back cover of the phone (don’t worry, it won’t damage its surface, and there won’t be any unsightly marks left). You can easily position the device not only vertically, but also horizontally.
DIY mobile phone stand
However, if you prefer something made with your own hands that will be truly exclusive, we will tell you how you can make an attractive phone stand
. There are a lot of different ways to do this, but we will tell you about the simplest, and at the same time unusual.
DIY mobile phone stand – 1
The first option is perfect for a phone with a wide display and a fairly long body, such as an iPhone or any phone from the Samsung line. The stand is incredibly easy to use and truly functional. To make it you will need only 2 minutes of your time.
- You need a binder (a kind of clamp that is used to fasten papers together), as well as a suction cup, which is used to attach, for example, towel holders. So, attach the binder to the suction cup in the place where its hook is located. Voila! A simple and convenient stand is ready.
- Attach the suction cup to the back of the phone (don't be afraid, it won't damage it and won't leave marks when detached) and position the phone as you like, vertically or horizontally, in any case the viewing angle will be ideal.
DIY mobile phone stand - 2
The second option is suitable for truly creative people. In order to make it, you need to master the art of origami.
- To make such a stand you need to make 24 white ticks and 23 pink ones. Checkmarks are made in the same way as cranes.
- Then the white checkmarks are fastened in a circle so that a kind of circle is eventually formed. One pink tick is inserted between each pair. This way you get a cone that tapers towards the top.
- Continue the design to the desired height. Place your mobile phone in the center and feel free to admire the creation of your hands!
Mobile communication devices are found in every home; they have become almost indispensable for modern people and perform many functions. Therefore, quite often they need to be kept not in your pocket, but on the desktop, so a smartphone stand is a necessary thing for everyone. There are many ways to make a phone stand, but one of the best options is, of course, wood, since, despite its hardness, it will not scratch the smartphone and will look good both in the office and on the table at home.
The easiest way to make a wooden phone stand with your own hands is to simply make it from an ordinary plank. The design of such a product is as simple as possible - a groove of the required width is made in the board and the stand is already ready. Since the board has a large plane, after you put your mobile phone in the slot, it will stand firmly and securely on the table.
The most important thing in this wooden phone stand is the base area that will be in contact with the table; it must be large enough to cope with the functional load. As a base, such a homemade phone stand can have any wood and can be given any shape. But the manufacturing process itself is limited to the fact that a groove is simply made in the board using a router. The groove can be made flat or sloped, depending on the angle at which the device should be positioned.
When you make your own smartphone stand, it is important to sand it well, especially in the groove area where the mobile will sit. After all, if there are irregularities, you can scratch the glass, and this will ruin the appearance of your gadget.
Mastering the technique of modular origami
You can make a phone stand using the modular origami technique. First you need to collect 24 white and 23 pink modules. The colors of the blanks can be chosen to suit your taste!
We fasten the white modules together in a circle so that a circle is formed, and between each pair of white ones, you need to insert 1 pink module. As a result, you will get a cone that gradually tapers towards the top.
This design must be continued until the stand reaches the desired height, which must be determined taking into account the size of the phone. The device will be located in the central part.
Video: several options for phone stands made from office clips
You can build a phone stand from ordinary office clips. In this case, you can have at least two clamps, at least one. The easiest way is to take two clamps of different sizes and insert the connected handles of one binder into the base of the other clamp.
Who among us doesn’t like to watch TV series or movies while cooking something in the kitchen or eating? The phone is not a laptop; it will lie flat on the table. It is, to put it mildly, uncomfortable to look at something like that. You can buy a special stand to secure your phone in a vertical position, or you can make it yourself from scrap materials. For example, these could be ordinary office clips.
