"Double" charging station for phones do it yourself
For a long time, both of my phones did not have a permanent place of registration on the table and were lying around, until the idea to start a stand appeared for them. But in stores, most of the supports are designed for one phone, and they also occupy an unacceptably large amount of storage space (buying two coasters is certainly not an option). Especially the other day I acquired a Bluetooth headset for the main phone, so it became necessary to keep it closer to charging, and the opportunity not to pull it off and not to bother with a wired headset when talking. Inspired by Habratopic “Docking Station for iPhone in 15 Minutes” , I decided to figure out something similar, but for two phones at once.
The materials used were thick multi-layer cardboard (about 2 mm thick), pasting paper (3 sheets found in strategic stocks), PVA glue and one office pin of the smallest size.
Tools - a scalpel, steel ruler, scissors, punch.

First, on a thick cardboard on the pattern (traditional ruler and pencil, either Corel or AutoCAD, by choice. I preferred the pencil) four parts are laid out - two supports, a stand and a front "screen".
Then they are cut with a sharp scalpel under the ruler. The smoother the parts, the smoother the entire structure will be.

Legs support
Immediately it is worth noting that the holes in the back could not pierce. But the idea and layout changed in the process, and initially the charger cords had to reach into these holes.

Pre-assembly, rear view
On sheets of paper for pasting on the same patterns are laid out and cut out "wrappers" for each part with allowances.
The paper is neatly smeared with glue, glued and smoothed. Parts remain dry in the position in which they must remain afterwards (bends are taken into account).
When all the parts dry up, the assembly begins bases. The support ends are glued to the front screen.
To strengthen the structure at this stage were added fastening stickers - a triangle with sides in the middle between the supports, and the corners inside each support closer to the edge of the screen.
Triangular fasteners
Corner stripes
In the stand itself, the punch makes holes for charging connectors. The size is worth taking such that the connector fits tightly into the hole, and only a metal tip juts up to the top, then the phones will stand straight.
It was originally intended to pierce the holes strictly in the center of each half. But since the phones have charging sockets on the side, and even from opposite sides, it was decided to shift them to the middle. This makes it possible to store phones on the stand, even when they do not need to be charged.
In order to be able to unplug the wires (and take with you on a trip, for example), they were attached with the usual clerical pin of the smallest size (about 1 cm wide).
The stand is glued with PVA glue to the upper part of the supports and secured with corner strips.

So phones stand when charged
If you do not need to charge, they are shifted away from the chargers, but still fit on the stand.
So the design looks like the back.
The stand passed a three-day test drive and fully passed the test.
If desired, it can be painted / stuck with stickers / outlined, but before that hands have not reached.
