This is made from metal and 6mm MDF. This mobile stand is foldable which means it can be carried everywhere. Fix three straps of metal together for the stand then glue the MDF to the metal of its size, make two pieces of this and one serves as the board on which the phone rests on and the other serves as the base. 22. Homemade Tripod Stand DIY While some of the holders are marketed towards specific phone and tablet models – especially iPhones and iPads, in general they are universal. However, they can be limited in terms of the weight and size that they can accommodate. It’s also a must if you plan to fly with a low-cost airline on a long flight that does not offer any form of in-flight entertainment. Unless you plan to read a book or do something else during the flight, of course. I have not tried this method with a tablet, but there is a good chance that (with modifications) it will work.

At the same time, the phone mount offers a robust spring clamp that will hold your phone safely and securely. Plus, it’s big enough to house super-sized devices like the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The cherry on top is that it stays anchored to the tray. And if need be, you can also place it on the tray table, just like a normal phone stand. Finally, while the weight of these holders is minimal, they can vary in size quite a bit. Some are foldable, while others are not. Some are small, some are large. One reason to consider that is to know how much space it will take up in your luggage. More importantly, though, it will help you determine whether it will be able to fit your device or not. This is made from a pipe, foam board, cement, brush, and paint. Cut a three-arm star out of the foam then glue the shape made by the cut to a sheet of paper. Use cement to line the inside then place a pipe in the middle of the shape, fill it with cement, and allow it to dry. The pipe serves as the stand for the tripod stand. 23. DIY Travel Phone Stand

If you only want to watch content then you might do fine with a fixed holder like The SkyClip. Size and Weight This origami phone stand is made solely from a sheet of paper. Start by holding the sheet of paper into two halves, undo the fold and you have the center line in place. Then, fold the two bottom parts to the middle, undo the fold, repeat this step for the two upper parts as well. The folding continues. In making this DIY, all you need to do is to fold each angle and line very well and you will arrive at your origami phone stand. 3. How To Make A Mobile Stand The iFLEX Adjustable Cell Phone Stand is a tad different from the ones prefaced above. Instead of latching onto plane seats, it can only be placed on the tray table. It’s a little weighty, but, on the bright side, you’ll be able to customize the size as per your requirement. Once done, you can simply flatten it. Cool, right? The CTUER Universal In-flight Airplane Phone Holder Mount brings a lot of enticing features to the table. For one, it can be affixed in several angles, which allows users to clip it to the tray table or mount it seamlessly. At the same time, you can insert the CTUER Phone Mount’s hook directly into a closed tray table in front of you, thanks to the clip at the bottom.

In making this DIY phone stand you will need wood, a laser cutter, a keychain, and a computer. Draw the blueprint on the computer with every dimension properly in place. Then, put the won't inside the laser cutter and connect the CorelDRAW software to the laser cutter. The laser cutter will cut the wood into shape in the CorelDraw file and you have your phone stand. Attach your keychain to it. Print out the phone stand template and trace it on the acrylic sheet, cut out the shape and repeat the process for you to get two mirror shapes. Attach to the shape together with hinges and place your phone on it. This is also an origami phone stand made from paper. It doesn't require glue, adhesive, or tape, the folding is done in a way that every part of the phone stand is secure into each other. It is easy and lightweight which means it can be carried around. 9. DIY Phone Holder With HangerAt the same time, the phone mount is extremely flexible, and the head can mount in almost all directions. Again, you can clip it to tray tables (while closed). If you only fly in business class, for example, then chances are your seat will be equipped with in-flight entertainment screen. Also chances are that some of the products above will not work with your seat as they are mainly designed for use in economy class. So I came up with my own method that uses two items: a textured paper towel and a neodymium magnet – as you can see from the images above- it works perfectly to hold my phone in flight when an inflight entertainment system isn’t available. How to Use this Method with a Tablet instead of a Phone While the first step in doing so is making sure your smartphone or tablet is loaded up with enough content to keep you busy for the duration of the flight, the other step is making sure you will be able to watch that content comfortably. And that is where device holders – such as The SkyClip– come in handy. This is made from a hanger (it can be used or new). Cut and remove the hanger's curve, flame polish the middle of the cloth line, and fold into two with the small hanging curves coming forward. Flame polish the curve to enlarge them. It is easy and cheap to make. 10. How To Make A Phone Stand
