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?

    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.

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