DIY: Mini foldable tripod for smartphone. Fits in your wallet.

This is what I did, but you may find better variations.

I wanted to use a resistant material, easy to find, easy to cut, and foldable. I used a milk brick.

Beside the piece I placed a card (credit card size) to give you a visual reference of its size.

I wanted it to fit in my wallet as any other card.

Fold it in half, do two vertical cuts, and 2 cuts with some inclination. The separation depends on your phone+cover.

Note that there are 3 folding lines.

Now you can place it on a table and use any of the two cuts to place your phone (vertical or inclined).

The phone always rests between 2 holding parts (actually 2+2).

Note: The phone on the photo is a bit wider than the phone I designed it for.

This is how it looks against the phone.

If you find better alternatives or have suggestions please leave a comment (no account needed).

There are a million things you can do yourself with just a bit of imagination, scissors, tape, etc.

Hope it helps.
