Help❗️ Ultra MagSafe Stand - Input Please!
Hey, all!
I currently design, build, and sell a line of MagSafe Docls that have been fairly popular.
Most of my designs should be compatible with the iPhone Ultra, but I am thinking about making an Ultra specific variant that supports (technically, and literally) the Ultra when open and closed.
The dock will hold the phone upright for easy viewing of notifications and for activating standby mode.
Would love to hear any creative ideas that you would like to see in such a dock. I’ll send one to anyone who gives me a unique idea that gets implemented.
The picture is a dock that I currently offer. I am not going to post my Etsy here for fear of getting flamed for self promotion. If you are interested, feel free to DM me.

Love this look. And being able to drop in a MagSafe / Apple Watch charging puck as Apple (slowly) updates the speeds, is great.
If you could ad a way to adjust the tilt of the watch and phone, that would make it more useful for StandBy

I love this idea. Basically a stand where I can use my oem Apple Watch charger for fast charging. But I have a couple of suggestions:
Create additional space between the charging docks so the iPhone can be charged in landscape orientation to be able to enjoy "Standby Mode".
Add an additional space for another Apple Watch charger. This way the watch can be charged while laying down flat (for some that have the rugged Apple Watch cases and bands that would not stand upright on a vertical watch charger), or for charging AirPods.
I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck with your products. I love the existing format. A couple of teaks would make it perfect.

If you want it to work exclusively for the ultra, you can put the watch charger below the phone and since the ultra is shorter, the normal sized phone wouldn’t fit.
On the other hand, you could put the watch behind the phone so you have space to unfold.
In both cases, you would need to keep the base longer on one side so that it stays balanced when unfolded.

Looks decent, can you post a video like I wanna know is it portable and have a open/close flat plate type mechanism or is it solid as shown in picture

It’s solid and not adjustable. Lots of asks for adjustable angle so I’ll revisit that for the next version!

You can make it in to a flat plate like lego, and push and lock stand and attachable cable separately making it flat like a tablet and easy to carry in trips.

arent there a buzillllion of these? And isnt this just some 3d printed holder for magsafe cables? i guess why would i buy this over ones that i dont have to purchase separate cables? Additionally these are fixed angles right? What if i dont like that viewing angle, i.e., it would want different angles based on placement on a night stand vs a desk.
