DIY Tablet Stand



Items Needed - 

  • Thick card board
  • Ruler 
  • Scissors 
  • Duct Tape


  • Instead of throwing away money on plastic stands which break after some time or aluminium stands which collapse in on itself due to the weight/ declination angle of the tablet.



  • Very carefully cut a single piece of thick cardboard to resemble this shape above. 
  • The centre triangle section has to at a 45 degree angle

Landscape mode

  • Thick cardboard has to be used, otherwise the tablet being heavy will topple over
  • Left over notebook/ tv/ printer packaging is what was used for this stand


  • Duct tape the entire stand to make it durable 


  • Folded tablet stand





  • This stand can hold anything from [ 5.4 inch x 2.8 inch]  Samsung Galaxy S3 all the way upto a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8 inch [ 8.3 inch x 5 inch ]  
  • For a 10.1 inch or above device, you need to increase the vertical height from 11.5 cm by actually keeping a 10.1 inch or above tablet and let it tilt to a negative 45 degree angle. 
  • Due to a 10.1 inch or larger tablet is heavier, the " centre triangle section " has to be even thicker to prevent tablet falling down
