I think you just have to make the groove a little wider.
Agreed, but does anyone know where I could get one?

What do you think one is worth? I'll mass produce a 100 or so in cherry or walnut if I sense a desire that matches the time and expense of making them. The Touch is 8mm thick, so I used a 21/64ths drill bit to start the grove then my bandsaw to finish the angle cuts. Tell me how thick the iPhone is and I'll make a prototype to show.Agreed, but does anyone know where I could get one?

Great find, crm!Another quick and cheap stand is the use of an open-ended business card holder like...

Works with or without a case........
Great find, crm!
Keep em coming, everyone!
It's OK, Matty. I like the stands you linked to also.
I'm not going to ask what you mean by "whatever".At work, I actually have my ipod touch on this for a stand...It works pretty well. Just listening to music or whatever, no movie watching but it works for my needs! Has a great grip on it too...

brn2ski00, do you have an iPhone or a Touch? I don't even know anyone with an iPhone as they don't offer service in my town. I can make a stand using the stated thickness but have no way to "test" it. I've picked out some nice woods, so I'll probably make a few this coming weekend. I'm tweaking the design a little, but it will remain mainly the same as you can see in the pictures posted in my blog.
Unless you can tell me exactly how thick the iPhone AND the Slider is together, the best I'll be able to do is make you a stand for the naked iPhone. You should pick up one of the Business card holders previously mentioned if you want a prop that will hold up your encased iPhone.I have an iPhone with the Incase Slider on it.
Can't wait for a stand!

Thanks. I just have to be more faithful toward adding to the blog. I intend to make a little cherry stand this weekend. I'll post a pic for evaluation by Monday.

Would someone who can take accurate dimensions please measure and tell me the distance of the iPhone's headphone jack from the front edge and from the right edge when facing the front? Measure to the center of the hole if you can.
I'm making a fancier version of my wood stand from Cherry. I've widened it enough to allow the iPhone to stand vertically in a deeper slot for stability, and I want to put a hole in the slot to allow feeding the earphone jack through with the iPhone in place. I can take the dimensions off the iPod Touch, but the iPhone is both thicker and taller so I don't trust Touch dimensions to be the same for the headphone jack location. The Touch' jack is 3/8" from the right edge. That dimension is likely the same, but since the iPhone is thicker I need to know how far back from the front face it is.
Thanks,

Me too, Bowlerguy. Somebody wants a wood one, though.Ya.........i'm pretty ok with the stand that came in the box.
