So your at your desk and want to watch a movie as you work.
As the iPhone presumable (I'm still holding out) doesnt have a little stick that props it up...do you just lean yours against something to maintain it in the horizontal position?

I've gone with the "hands-free" Belkin Acrylic Clear Case, which has a swivel stand that can support your iPhone in two positions; I like to clip it to my briefcase and watch a movie or music video hands-free. Also clip it to my dashboard and utilize the MAPS as I'm driving. :cool:

I use the "back" of my flip cover/lid . . . props it quite nicely

Jump on youtube, there are a few DIY stands that you can make for cheap, even one out of a dollar bill if you want. You can also buy a few different stands.

I found this really simple and cool idea on Amazon (no longer being made). http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPhone-cradle-stand-holder/dp/B0011E4OTM/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3NDX9QTIURUCR&colid=1OMWF8BNAO1ON
I think it would be the kind of thing I could make on my own.
Also it looks like one of those cheapy display stands you see at say tourist shops that sell plates or somesort of tile that is meant to stand up. I bet one could find that too and make it dual use.

I use a stand bought in the marketplace. Search iPod Stands.

Anyone tried this product (looks like its for iPods but should work)?
Audio-Outfitters EZL Simple Stand

I like that it folds flat.

A nice selection of 'props' I was thinking of the tourist plate idea actually!
The only good thing about the piece of garbage that is the Archos 604 is the little stick incorporated into the rear case that allows the piece of rubbish to stand up nicely and gather dust.

I have an Orbino (http://www.orbino.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=206) case where the clip acts as a stand. The photo on the website does not do it justice, the stand is a bit more vertical. The leather on the back of the case has a cross section so you can also mount the stand either horizontally or vertical. Best case I've ever owned and I've gone through nearly every brand of iPhone case.
