Choose a stand for the way you use your phone. Each project links to the maker’s build and its Easel design, with extra parts and fitting steps noted below.
iPhone X standby Panos BrPanos made this upright stand from 4 mm birch plywood. Its two pieces slot together, and the shared file includes several back designs. Match the slot to your plywood thickness before making a gift or a stand for your desk.
ninja phone standby Shoreline FurnitureA kicking ninja supports the phone above a round base. The walnut project includes both a single stand and a sheet of repeated parts, making it a useful starting point for a small batch of gifts. Fit the upright tab to the base slot and check your phone against the support.
iPhone TV Standby Gary YahrGary turns a phone into a small television with a birch-plywood frame and separate legs. The shared file includes front designs and the legs; the instructions add a short pine support behind the frame. Resize the screen opening and adjust the leg notch for your phone and case.
Cellphone standby Douglas BrineyDouglas made this soft-maple stand for a Minnesota Vikings fan. The file separates the carved decoration from the state outline and slotted support. Use the shape as inspiration for a personalized gift; the V-carved decoration requires Easel Pro.
Phone stand/chargerby Paul JenkinsPaul built a Qi charger into a wooden upright, with a shelf to support the phone. His instructions use 13 mm tassie oak and a two-sided carve for the charger pocket and front decoration. The Easel file supplies the upright; cut the beveled shelf and base separately as described, and size the pocket to your charger.
Chevron Phone Dockby Alex BergerContrasting chevron pieces make this horizontal dock stand out on a desk. The file contains the base pockets and inlay pieces. Alex explains that the glued inlay also sets the phone angle, so it is part of the support rather than decoration alone. Resize the pocket from its original iPhone 5/5S fit.
Key Fob & Phone Holderby Kat Harris ParkerThis walnut key fob becomes a small stand for watching videos while traveling. The file contains the three profiles, and Kat joins them with three 4.5 mm screw posts and a key ring after sanding and waxing. Check the notch against your phone case before cutting the pieces.
Cell phone and tablet standby PK GraffThis birch-plywood rack holds a phone and tablet together. Its three side pieces have several viewing slots and holes for threaded rod. The shared file contains those profiles; choose rod and spacers to suit the width of the devices you want to hold.
Make a Passive Amplifier for your iPhoneby Warren DownesWarren combines a phone slot with a stepped circular sound cavity in a laminated timber block. The shared design contains the pocket geometry, while his instructions describe laminating and smoothing the blank. This is a deeper carve than the thin plywood stands, so choose stock and a cutter with enough usable cutting length.

Douglas Briney applied two coats of semigloss spray polyurethane and let them dry before spraying two coats of black paint. He then sanded the surface to leave the dark carving visible. Sealing the edges first helped keep the paint from bleeding beyond the design.
