What do you use to prop your iPhone up when you're watching a movie?

I'm considering getting a beanbag type thing I saw on Wired, but I'm wondering if there's something a bit more compact that would work just as well. Do you use anything?

I use a Gorillapod [http://www.amazon.com/Joby-GP1-M1EN-Gorillapod-Flexible-Adhesive/dp/B00192KCAG/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1259043210&sr=8-10]. It works great and is totally adjustable to accommodate any surface.

@dave bug: Why do you need to prop it up? Can't it just lay flat? Or do you mean that you're actually watching a movie ON your iPhone?

@shrdlu: Yeah, on a plane it's annoying holding the phone for 90 minutes, or trying to shove the napkin or business cards behind it to angle it towards me.

@dave bug: The Gorillapod is great for the plane. I fly pretty frequently for work and have experimented with other solutions that sit on the tray. The tray solutions seem workable, but after 1/2 hour of staring downwards my tray, my neck starts to feel stiff. With the Gorillapod, I take one arm and clamp it between the tray and the seatback (in the upright position). Then I bend the other 2 arms and the stem make a cradle for my iPhone. Works like a charm.

@dave bug: Ohhhh... I have a Crackberry, and it has a cradle, which I can use. Now I understand. I have a friend who has a thing he takes everywhere that is kind of like a cradle, can be attached to stuff, and holds it in front of him. I'll try and remember to ask about it. You iPhone users always want everything.

this is my three tier approch to caring for my Iphone
1) TS ToughSkin iPhone Case this thing I got for my 3g iphone also fit my 3gs so great.
2) Speck ArmorSkin IPhone IPod Touch Case and Belt Clip
for iPhone- this thing clips at the four corners of the iphone, when dropped it's covered.hard plastic with a clip that doubles as a stand for viewing. I use it while on break to watch movies and tv shows.
3)invisibleSHIELD™ this thing saved my screen many times over. it still looks like i just bought the phone.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
