The Building Process

- Once the hole has been precisely cut, insert your phone into the slot to ensure it fits securely.

FAQs
1. What else can I use instead of a cardboard tube?
You can use any cylindrical object of similar size and shape as alternatives to a cardboard tube. For instance, PVC pipes, paper cups, or even a rolled-up newspaper.
2. How can I make the iPhone stand more stable?
You can use a thicker, sturdier tube or add weight to the bottom of the stand to make it more stable. Additionally, you can use suction cups or adhesive pads to attach the stand to a surface to prevent it from sliding or falling.
