Product Information

Over my next few flights, I kept trying new methods. Although there were some products in online stores designed to hold a phone in flight, I decided to DIY it. “Why,” I thought, “create more plastic waste and load my luggage with yet another gadget?” It’s also a must if you plan to fly with a low-cost airline on a long flight that does not offer any form of in-flight entertainment. Unless you plan to read a book or do something else during the flight, of course. Cut through the length of two pipes of different sizes, straighten the pipe or make it flat by ironing it over a sheet of paper. Repeat this step for both sides until you have two flat pieces. Cut the longer piece into a rectangular form and the small piece into a square with accurate measurement. Assemble both on each other and you have your mobile phone stand. 4. DIY Customized Phone Stand The iFLEX Adjustable Cell Phone Stand is well-liked by its users for its durability and flexibility. And well, it’s quite sturdy too.

If you only want to watch content then you might do fine with a fixed holder like The SkyClip. Size and Weight The Perilogics Phone Holder Mount is a lot similar to the ones above in the sense that it can effortlessly latch onto a closed tray table. However, what makes it stand out is that the spring clamp at the bottom can open up to 1.57-inches. Consequently, you can clamp the device to the edge of your work table as well. The clamp is big enough to house ginormous phones like the iPhone Pro Max range. However, you will have to use the phone in landscape mode, as the holder gets lopsided when the phone is affixed in portrait orientation.This is made from a pipe, foam board, cement, brush, and paint. Cut a three-arm star out of the foam then glue the shape made by the cut to a sheet of paper. Use cement to line the inside then place a pipe in the middle of the shape, fill it with cement, and allow it to dry. The pipe serves as the stand for the tripod stand. 23. DIY Travel Phone Stand

Finally, while the weight of these holders is minimal, they can vary in size quite a bit. Some are foldable, while others are not. Some are small, some are large. One reason to consider that is to know how much space it will take up in your luggage. More importantly, though, it will help you determine whether it will be able to fit your device or not. The guide below should help you with choosing the best airplane smartphone and tablet holder for your needs. CompatibilityThis is made from metal and 6mm MDF. This mobile stand is foldable which means it can be carried everywhere. Fix three straps of metal together for the stand then glue the MDF to the metal of its size, make two pieces of this and one serves as the board on which the phone rests on and the other serves as the base. 22. Homemade Tripod Stand DIY This tablet holder is designed specifically to fit the most devices. In other words, it’s universal. It’s made out of an aluminum core lined with soft closed-cell foam. The holder looks like a flat sheet at first, but, actually, it’s pliable and can be bent and folded to carry any smartphone or tablet. I have not tried this method with a tablet, but there is a good chance that (with modifications) it will work. At the same time, the phone mount is extremely flexible, and the head can mount in almost all directions. Again, you can clip it to tray tables (while closed). While the first step in doing so is making sure your smartphone or tablet is loaded up with enough content to keep you busy for the duration of the flight, the other step is making sure you will be able to watch that content comfortably. And that is where device holders – such as The SkyClip– come in handy.

Now, if you are smitten by the phone stand’s flexible design, then you might be able to mold it as per your preference. In fact, if you are willing to experiment, you can mold it and secure it over the seat (in front of you) to get your phone’s screen at eye level. We can’t guarantee that the phone stand will stay affixed, but it’s worth a shot. The stand is a ready-made materials ball you need to do is to add a tube to it where the phone will rest. It is very simple and cheap to make. So I came up with my own method that uses two items: a textured paper towel and a neodymium magnet – as you can see from the images above- it works perfectly to hold my phone in flight when an inflight entertainment system isn’t available. How to Use this Method with a Tablet instead of a Phone This is made from a hanger (it can be used or new). Cut and remove the hanger's curve, flame polish the middle of the cloth line, and fold into two with the small hanging curves coming forward. Flame polish the curve to enlarge them. It is easy and cheap to make. 10. How To Make A Phone Stand

Because of its flexible design, you can easily adjust the position at which your device is mounted to fit your preferred viewing angle. That said, the holder is strong enough to keep even heavier tablets in place. Another universal in-flight airplane phone holder mount is the one by unitron. Like its counterpart above, it inserts into the small slit between the seat and the table tray. This way, the phone mount holsters your device at eye level. What’s more, it allows you to watch your favorite movies and TV shows hands-free. It even comes with a 360-degree articulating hinge, so you should be able to prop up your phone however you deem fit.

This is also an origami phone stand made from paper. It doesn't require glue, adhesive, or tape, the folding is done in a way that every part of the phone stand is secure into each other. It is easy and lightweight which means it can be carried around. 9. DIY Phone Holder With Hanger This was made solely from cardboard. Cut three pieces of cardboard each of different sizes. make a hole on the longest pieces, glue the second long piece to the longest to form an angle. Glue the third piece to the end of the second and pads it to the hole on the longest piece. The mobile phone stand is ready. 14. How To Make A Paper Mobile Stand The first DIY on my list is a phone stand made from paper rolls. Get two paper rolls, cut through the length of both, cut open each side of one of the paper rolls to give two open pieces. Take one of the pieces and glue it to the opening of the other paper roll. Use cardboard to cover the holes from the paper roll, then, wrap the remaining cardboard around the whole phone stand. 2. DIY Origami Phone Stand In making this DIY phone stand you will need wood, a laser cutter, a keychain, and a computer. Draw the blueprint on the computer with every dimension properly in place. Then, put the won't inside the laser cutter and connect the CorelDRAW software to the laser cutter. The laser cutter will cut the wood into shape in the CorelDraw file and you have your phone stand. Attach your keychain to it. If you only fly in business class, for example, then chances are your seat will be equipped with in-flight entertainment screen. Also chances are that some of the products above will not work with your seat as they are mainly designed for use in economy class.The ability to clip it on desks is an added plus. And the option to swivel the phone clamp helps your case. As such, even if the seat in front of you is reclined, you will be able to angle the screen effortlessly. At the same time, the phone mount offers a robust spring clamp that will hold your phone safely and securely. Plus, it’s big enough to house super-sized devices like the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The cherry on top is that it stays anchored to the tray. And if need be, you can also place it on the tray table, just like a normal phone stand. The CTUER Universal In-flight Airplane Phone Holder Mount brings a lot of enticing features to the table. For one, it can be affixed in several angles, which allows users to clip it to the tray table or mount it seamlessly. At the same time, you can insert the CTUER Phone Mount’s hook directly into a closed tray table in front of you, thanks to the clip at the bottom. The iFLEX Adjustable Cell Phone Stand is a tad different from the ones prefaced above. Instead of latching onto plane seats, it can only be placed on the tray table. It’s a little weighty, but, on the bright side, you’ll be able to customize the size as per your requirement. Once done, you can simply flatten it. Cool, right?
