I wanted a stand which would let me see my phone at night while it was charging, groping around when the alarm went off was annoying. I designed a custom stand for my phone, and wanted to do the same for my wife's. I hit upon the idea of not depending as little on the phone dimensions as possible (only width is used), but solely depending on the charging cord.
This stand holds the end of the charging coord (presumably some version of USB). It's customizable for different sizes of plug end, (including annoying 2-stage plugs with a straight section, then a tapered section). The math in the scad file lets you specify the phone width, and assumes the charging plug is in the center of the phone. This can be changed if needed. It also lets you change the angle the phone is propped up at. The stl file, and the current values in scad file are for a nexus 5 with a rhinoshield case, and the cord that came with it (my phone).
