3D render of the stand: a white base with an orange back support, holding a phone
Free 3D model

Phone & Tablet Stand

A sturdy stand for a phone or a tablet, upright or sideways. The back support plugs into one of three pairs of sockets for about 55, 65 or 75 degrees, the lip holds a device in a case up to 15 mm thick, and a slot through the lip lets you charge while it stands. The deep foot keeps even a 13-inch tablet steady. Two parts, no screws, no supports.

Also needed

Parts you buy

  • Nothing else: no screws, no glue.
  • Optional: four self-adhesive rubber bumpers, 10 mm across, for the recesses under the base.
  • To charge while it stands: a USB-C or Lightning cable whose plug and strain relief together are up to about 27 mm long (most are 20 to 27 mm). A longer one works too if you lead the cable out at the front.

Assembly

How to build it

Print the parts

Both parts print flat without supports. Give the base 4 walls and 25% infill: at about 200 g it stays put when you tap a 13-inch tablet.

Add feet

Optional: press four rubber bumpers into the round recesses under the base, so the stand doesn't slide.

Choose an angle

Push the prongs of the back support into one pair of sockets until it sits on the base: 75° at the front is the most upright, 55° at the back the flattest.

Seat the support

The first time, push firmly. Small ribs in the sockets squash a little and then hold the support without play.

Stand your device

Put your phone or tablet on the ledge behind the lip, screen forward, and lean it back against the support. A thick case makes it stand up to 3 degrees steeper. A 13-inch tablet standing upright (portrait) is steadiest at 65 or 75 degrees.

Charge it

Put the cable through the slot in the lip and plug it in, let it bend down behind the lip and lead it back through the groove under the base.
