4 Pencils and Rubber Bands? Got iPhone Stand!
Roland dropped us a note about this improvised iPhone stand he whipped together with nothing but several pencils, rubber bands, and a needful dream. He put it together so he could enjoy a little landscape video.
Check out his site, geeky-gadgets.com, for more pics and instructions.
Anyone going to try Macgyver'ing this one up at home?

Getting it done....MacGyver style...
I can think of a better video to be watching.
5 pencils...
4 pencils for 2G, 5 for 3G
yea, it's actually 5 pencils...
Necessity, the mother of invention. 5 for either.
That is awesome. I'm gonna try to make one for my desk on Monday.
5
My desk will have one too. I gotta say, I've been waiting for this a long time, just didn't know it. I just hadn't got around to getting a stand. Well now it'll be virtually free(a la job supplies-and it's only borrowing). Thanks Shamwow, er Roland. 5 pencils.
Man! I wish I could try this at work but we only have pens. : ( any other ideas? Thanks!
We have pencils but no rubber bands
, I guess that some of us will have invent their own.
I tried it out; works rather well.

Somebody needs to learn to count!
There's a new, improved version of this stand out there. It's more stable, and can hold the iPhone in portrait orientation:
