Took me about an hour to think it up and complete.

Didn't cost me anything really. I had all the materials left over from old projects and freebies.

Yeah I'm really happy with it. It's a lot more stable than I was expecting.

The front "cradle" part has metal inside the CF so you can form it to perfectly fit your phone.

Yeah I could probably do that, I'd have to check to see if I have another good piece of carbon for it though
I was just wondering, what would be the price if you were to sell one? Or maybe just the cost of goods needed to make that (mainly the carbon fiber).

Well I'm using a special CF that already has the resin sort of soaked in already so the weave doesn't come apart. I haven't seen this online anywhere so I'm not sure how much it costs.

If I were to sell one, maybe around 20 bucks shipped?

Its nice but its to general for me. But its nice that its so general you can probably use it for your next phone.

Good job.

I made a car nav mount that also acts as a pivoting desk stand. It's nice when you have it mounted in the car you can take stable video while driving without having to hold the phone.

Very cool. I have always wanted to do some work with Carbon Fiber. I have heard mixed reviews on its difficulty factor. I think seeing this gives me more confidence to try it myself.. Thanks for posting pics! :)
