90° USB-C Charging/Data Phone Holder
Print Profile(1)

Description
This is a holder for almost any phone that uses a USB-C connector and will allow charging or data transfer just by dropping the phone in the holder. It will fit an iPhone 16 (without a case) and a Samsung S22 (in a case). These are the only phones I tested, but may fit many more.
For use on toolboxes, steel workbenches or other flat steel applications, we have a magnet-mount version available here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2218466-magnet-mount-90deg-usb-c-powered-phone-holder
It uses a 90° USB-C charging cable that is readily available on Amazon in multiple lengths (search for “MRGLAS Car CarPlay USB C Cable”).
The stand is made in three parts to accommodate enclosing the cable in the base - the stand itself, and bottom and top halves of the cable holder that will form a “plug” once glued together, then the plug is glued in the base. Once the cable is inserted and the three parts are glued together, it is a very solid unit.
The holder is 81.5 mm wide and 15.1mm deep, so if that is not big enough for your phone, or your phone with a case on it, you can scale it up with no issues. For instance, scaling it to 101% makes it 82.3mm wide, 102% makes it 83.1mm wide etc., so measure your phone/case width & depth and plan accordingly. Scaling it up should have almost no impact on the cable mount, as once the two halves of the bottom plug are glued together, the cable is captured and can't really move anyway.
