Shift Stand?

---

Anyone know of an accessory that would help my Shift stand by itself, such as when taking a picture? Or maybe a DIY stand?

Thanks!

Never heard of one. Evo users always flaunt their stand like it's a big deal. Never seen the need for one.

The main use I see for the stand that Evo users use it (or any phone with a stand for that matter) for is for playing movies and music. (This is why I have an HP touchpad).

I actually went to breakfast with a friend today that has a Windows Phone 7 on T-Mobile with a stand and tried to start watching netflix.

I then started laughing at him because he couldn't get service and I said hold on let me turn on my "4g". Turned 4G on, got connected and then I said "Oh wait.. I cancelled netflix 3 months ago."

Moral of the story: It's useless. And there is only 1 camera on the phone and it's on the back. So I guess you could DIY a stand for the camera but honestly I just don't find it very practical or see a high demand for it.

Don't let me stop you from googling it further or creating a DIY tutorial though. Never really cared for this feature on my phone. More important than a stand to me is that lovely hardware keyboard.

i do enjoy my keyboard

thanks for the help!

If you look in amazon for tripods for cameras, there's one that comes with a clip that can hold your phone so you can user your camera with the timer mode.
It's been a long time since I got me one but it worked just right.

You could get a car dock that has a suction cup and one of those bean bag things that are used in cars for the gps. May be slightly bulky but would be a fine short stand.

I have a setup similar to this for my car and could use it as a tripod in a pinch.

If you just want it to standup like the Evo does with it's kickstand you can easily modify one of those little white plastic things that come in pizza boxes to do the trick.
