Hasta La Gadget!

Smartphones are offering us more and more entertainment, allowing us to view photos, videos, and even full TV shows and movies on the go. But there’s just one problem — they won’t stand up on their own (unless you’re talking about the HTC Evo 4G, which has a built-in kickstand). It can get tiring holding your phone at a comfortable viewing height, which is exactly why the Sniper Stand was invented.

It’s a small plastic disk with two slits that intersect at a right angle. It has a super-strong (but still removable) adhesive on the back. Peel off the backing and stick it to the back of your phone, and it will allow your smartphone to stand up on a table or desk with the aid of a credit card.

The Sniper Stand is not yet in production, but a limited number of prototype samples are available in black for $9.95, shipping included. To see the installation video, or to place an order, visit the Sniper Stand Web site.
