GoGoStand — An iPhone Stand That Fits in Your Wallet
I travel everywhere with my iPod Touch. It rarely leaves my side. While I use my Touch for a million different tasks, when I'm traveling I find myself frequently watching video on it; either a full length movie while I'm on a long flight, or catching up on that last season of "The Wire" while relaxing at the end of a busy day in my hotel room.
The thing that sucks about watching video on a Touch or iPhone is having to hold it in your hands, tilted at just the right angle so that you can see the screen. The last thing I want to do is strain my wrists any more than I already do by working on computers all day. Wouldn't it be great if you could watch a full-length movie on your iPhone without having to hold it in your hands the entire time?
I've previously written about some great iPhone and iPod Touch cases suited to travelers. One of them even has a built-in stand, which is pretty handy. Today, I stumbled across a different type of stand that is perfect for anyone on the go, and especially people traveling on vacation or for business.
It's called the GoGoStand, and it's so portable that it will fit in your wallet. Wait, what? Yes, it will fit in your wallet (or purse, or pocket, for that matter). The GoGoStand is a plastic folding stand the same size as a credit card and is designed for all generations of iPhones and iPod Touch. It will work equally well with all sorts of other phones like the Android G1, Palm Pre, Droid and more. It retains it's shape while folded out and has three different adjustable viewing angles.

It's available in dark blue, bronze, purple, clear and smoke. I prefer the smoke color myself, since it seems the least obtrusive.
The GoGoStand is made in the United States and, possibly the best part, it costs a mere $4.99 with FREE shipping! It's really hard to go wrong at that price. So what's the downside? Well, the GoGoStand is apparently so popular that it's currently sold out. You can become a fan of GoGoStand and you'll be alerted when they have new inventory in and also get a chance to win one for free.
While you're waiting for the GoGoStand, you could always make yourself a temporary portable stand out of a paperclip. In the meantime, watch the video below to see the GoGoStand in action.
