The prototype iPhone stand |
Being an Apple geek, we have at least a half-dozen iPod/iPhone/iPad devices around the house, and one of the things I thought I could make with the oak was some stands for them. The first one was perfect for my iPhone 5, so I started onto the MkI iPad stands.
One with integrated charging cable, and one standalone holder - both using the same design as the prototype. Once posted on Facebook, the requests started coming in. So I decided to forego the notch for the home button, and just run off a bunch from a single board.
These MkII stands were great for iPhone 6 and the newer iPads, but I found that some recipients were using rubber cases on their phones, and they would not sit properly in the slot. So back to the drawing board!
And so we arrive at the current generation of stands - the MkIII pictured above (unfinished) dual device holders with charging cable access. I've also made them in a slightly lower profile version without charging cable ports in the bottom.
