My New Cell Phone Stand

Here's another cell phone stand I just made and then another for my wife, another for my son, and now my daughter and her friends have lined up for one.
It's simple really but very handy because it's flat and portable. It can be carried in your pocket or purse. I made it so no matter how you take it out for use it's ready to go. You only have to orient the slot towards you. That's all!

It's made out of Pine. It's 1-7/8" wide x 4-1/2" long x 5/8" thick. The slot was cut with a 3/8" dado blade and tilted at 25°. I adjusted the depth on scrap before finalizing. For reference, the back wall is a depth of 1/2".

You can mount your phone vertically.....

... or horizontally.

When your phone is mounted, the depth of the slot will not prevent access to your controls. 
It work like a champ!!

Thanks for looking! 
Cheers!

Nice design:  "I made it so no matter how you take it out for use it's ready to go." It's ambidextrous, clever.
Thanks Oldtool... it's a simple thing really but has become very popular among friends and family. Funny how something so simple yet very effective can become so wanted.
