So, I got tired of not finding a good active desk stand that suited me, so I decided to make my own with the viewing angle I need.

Then I got a bit of SUGRU (for anyone who doesn't know what it is, it is an awesome model-able silicon clay that cures in 24 hours and sticks to anything and hardening, while keeping a rubbery feel.
I used it to stick the usb cable in place, and also placed some on the back of the stand so the phone rubs onto the rubber and not onto raw plastic.
Here are some photos (I know it's far from being aesthetically nice, but the point was for it to be practical, not nice. I might end up sray painting it later)
