iPhone Keyboard Stand
Make a Plexiglas stand that works with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and iPhone. Plus, it doubles as a carrying case.
Frustrated by the fact that my almost-ten-year-old handspring visor and stowaway portable keyboard had better note-taking capabilities than my iPhone, I was pleased when Apple finally opened up Bluetooth keyboard accessibility on the iPhone. This build incorporates Plexiglas, Velcro, and some two-part epoxy to create a functional iPhone stand for the standard Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Steps
Conclusion
The resulting stand makes it considerably easier to type on your phone in meeting rooms, lecture halls, on your lap, etc. While building this, I realized it might be nice to add a handle to the top of the stand for easier carrying. This could be done by extending the length of the stand and cutting out an oval to create the handle. Additional Velcro could be added to attach the spacers to the back of the keyboard for easier carrying.
