I wanted to keep my electronic devices off the surface of the workbench to protect them from debris, alien autopsy fluids, and delicious sauces. So I came up with this idea to elevate them to safety and still have the flexibility to move and rotate them around the workspace as needed.
Invention idea #01031.2 pulled from my notebooks to share.

Overview of the concept:
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS:
The video and audio commentary cover this idea nicely, so I’ll keep additional commentary short. A couple of notes:
The larger the wedge diameter, the more stable it is during rotation and sliding. The version I made was sized to fit a wide span of devices (mostly phones). A custom version to fit a particular device is going to perform better.
An interesting extension to this idea is to add custom top profiles that insert into the top face to hold special devices and objects (EG: Game controllers). By using the swappable insert methodology, the Widget Wedgy now has multiple uses. Opens up a lot of possibilities.
NOTE: For Ref3-4 you can buy "by the pad" to get the better adhesive for far less upfront investment. Great option if you are just building for yourself or a small run. If doing volume and need higher margins, get them by the roll.
