a cheap stand for the nook

[animatechnica]

so here i was with a leather case for my nook but it did not have a stand and i desperately wanted to have a stand whenever i want to watch a video and leave my hands free. I supposed it can get a picture easel and use that but since i am already carrying my nook, i wanted something i can easily carry in my pocket. A new case with stand is probably $25-$40 - and i am sure my wife would want the same for her nook a well - so instead i went down my local computer store and bought a cable wrap for $7 -

so i connect to ends to get the strap longer, insert the pins through the cable holes - with the kit i bought i can make 2 of these (one for me and the other for my wife)

and now i can watch my videos hand free in landscape

or in portrait (with the help of a stick)

That's a lot of ingenuity right here. Or, you could stop at the nearest Walmart and buy a fold-down photo frame stand for $2.

uhh if you read the post it did say i could do that but that wouldn't fit in my pocket now

Have you seen those stands? They fold down completely flat and are less then 7 inches long. How much more pocktable do you want to go?

to each his own, i don't need a 7 inch stand in my pocket to make me feel like a man

Good job! I think part of the fun of buying a piece of technology early (in this case it's not early, but still early in the accessories game) is creating solutions to things that work for you that others have either not made or have made too expensively! I, too, was working on a case/stand combo (on paper) as I had not bought a case yet, and just when I was about to go out and spend a good amount of money on it, I find rooCASE has made exactly what I was going to (and for slightly cheaper than I woulda spent). So I lost out in the fun of building it, but I did have fun thinking of all the different things I "could" do!

Not as cheap but I got this stand on amazon.

It works pretty well with NC in my trident aegis case.

I was in need of a stand that cost me nothing (just temporary until I get my case next week) and I tore the back off one of those desktop calendars and it works GREAT! Just thought I'd share this!

Anyone tried one of those plate stands. I know my wife has a few laying around i might try to steal next week when i get home.

I am sure you can find them at the dollar store too. And they fold so you can pocket them.
