Hasta La Gadget!

The DIY Suction-Cup iPhone Stand is so simple it doesn’t really need a one-and-a-half-minute video to show you how to make it. Heck, it probably doesn’t even need a picture: the thing is so simple the name alone is description enough. But because the inventor, Max Rudberg, has such a great accent, we’re running it anyway:

Simple, right? A pair of those unreliable picture-hook suction-cups that always unstick themselves after an hour or two, with the wire hook removed from one and added to the other. This augmented cup then sucks onto the smooth back of your iPhone (or any other gadget with a smooth rear) and the wire feet keep it standing at an angle. That’s it, and all for just $3.

We’re not sure why the “market” for handmade stands and cases has exploded since the iPad launched, but we’re happy to see all the cheap innovation. Perhaps its because so many people have just dropped $500+ on a gadget they didn’t think they needed, and all the extra money is going on sweet new apps.
