Having to make a chair out of a single flat piece of corrugated cardboard has been an ID school mainstay for god knows how long. The ID 101 class assignment could use an update, no? Perhaps this will be its replacement for the 2010s: Make a cell phone dock out of a single sheet of cardstock.
Now we all know you enterprising students can figure this one out on your own, right, just by looking at the photos? But if you want to cheat, you can watch the video below and download the template here.

Not sure what kind of paper they are using, but our heaviest card stock isnt sturdy enough to hold the phone up. it's the back side that is weak. :( i'll reinforce with foam core board
That's great to see Juliems Maderou's work on Core77, we just did a collaboration with him on his iphone doc, check it > http://www.hzapparel.com/Papercraft/papercraft.html
Some sweet Heels&Zimerman action color-ways giving this single sheet cardstock project some style!
Cheers,
I actually just helped teach a class this winter at University of Cincinnati where we implemented something similar. We have such a project in our "Making of Things" course where-in we create a structural box out of corrugated board. I had seen this project as it was making its rounds on the internet and thought a cell phone holder would be an equally fast, but more fun and meaningful project for students that could help engage them in both thinking about the function of the object and its proper construction. The video and the DIY instructions were really the kicker where we pointed out how you could make a relatively simple object a nice portfolio piece through documentation of design and process.
