    Abstract: A free-standing, self-contained mobile device holder is formed by folding a flat sheet of printable material along score lines to form a triangular support. The distance between the first and second score lines is equal. Third score line placement determines a fixed angle in which to view the device. The sheet is folded forward along the top score line, then folded forward again along the second score line. The top edge of the sheet is placed on the third score line such that a triangular support is formed. Die-cut tabs in the base of the bottom panel are inserted into die-cut slits at or near the top of the second panel so as to from a sturdy triangular backing for holding a mobile device at an optimal viewing angle. Another die cut tab approximately the width of a device is cut in the bottom panel below the third score line. This tab is bent upward to fully support and display the device at the predetermined angle. The holder is stackable when flat for easy storage, mailing, and delivery.
