Sniper Stand for iPhone Makes Little Sense, But It’s Awesome

Some people just don’t know how to hold an iPhone. Go tell Steve about it. Truth is, everyone wants to make his own customized stand or case. But this one, this one…is made out of a credit card and a plastic bump.

What?

Gagdet Lab:

“Meet the Sniper Stand, a tiny, adhesive-backed plastic carbuncle which sticks to you iPhone (or any other small flat-backed device) and lets you use a credit-card as an impromptu kick-stand.

Before you make the obvious complaint about the permanent plastic pimple attached to the back of the iPhone, let Arthur have his say:

“It’s actually kinda nice having a bump on the back of your phone; the bump holds up the phone just a tiny bit of an angle for viewing, that tiny bit makes it much easier to grab your phone (especially a really thin iPhone 4), holding it in your hand the bump of the Sniper Stand makes a nice spot to place your finger and balance the phone in your hand with less fear of it sliding out of your hand, etc…”


I’m throwing it out there: this is pointless and awesome at the same time. Kind of like using your Macbook as an iPad stand. I want one.
