Ever purchase a shirt.. wash it.. wear it.. then realize that you left one of the little plastic things in the collar?
I did. And, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I started bending it.. and soon had an “S” type shape. Rather than throw it away, I kept it sitting on my desk. Back to work I went.
A few hours later I was ready to watch the latest episode of Diggnation. I synced my iPhone, touched the iPod icon, touched “videos”, and then selected Diggnation. As it started playing, I went to prop it up against my mac mini and wedge it in with my dock, like I usually do. At that moment, a little piece of white plastic caught my eye. There it was, shining in the sun florescent light, like a gift from the heavens! I grabbed my iPhone, and as if transfixed by the blessing, slowly and carefully set it in the little white plastic thing. It was a moment of magic, like a kid on Christmas morning, I had the widest grin on my face. I now use it daily, as my little iPhone stand. Have a look:
BONUS: the white matches the Apple supplied dock. hells-yea! Oh, and sorry for the blurry pic, the iPhone doesn’t handle close-ups too well!

I have to say thanks for taking the time to post up this simple and elegant solution. I travel on planes a lot and holding the iphone for lengths at a time gets, well, tiring. This will allow me to sit it on the tray table at the right angle.
All I have to do now is replace the plastic things in my shirt collars as I went though most of them perfecting the shape and angles etc heh.
Thanks from New Zealand.

@Narc.
Glad I could help. I stumbled upon it by accident, but found it worked perfectly. Thanks for the comment.
