Tablets have become an integral part of our lives, serving as versatile devices for work, entertainment, and communication. Having a reliable tablet stand can enhance your tablet experience, allowing for hands-free use and comfortable viewing angles. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of creating a tablet stand using a DVD case, with a focus on repurposing your 14.6 tablet case.


 


Step 1 : Gather the Materials

To create a tablet stand out of a DVD case, you will need the following materials:
DVD case: Choose a standard-sized DVD case that is sturdy and in good condition. Ensure that it can hold the weight of your 14.6 tablet.
Craft knife or scissors: You will need a sharp craft knife or a pair of scissors to cut and modify the DVD case.
Ruler or measuring tape: Use a ruler or measuring tape to ensure accurate measurements during the modification process.
Adhesive or glue: You will need a strong adhesive or glue to secure the modified parts of the DVD case together.

Step 2: Prepare the DVD Case

Start by removing the DVD disc and any inserts from the DVD case. Open the case and lay it flat on a clean and stable surface. Ensure that the case is fully open and the front cover is facing up.

Step 3: Measure and Mark

Measure the width of your 14.6 tablet and mark the center point on the inside of the DVD case’s front cover. This mark will serve as a reference for creating the tablet stand.

Step 4: Cut the DVD Case

Using a craft knife or scissors, carefully cut along the marked center point on the inside of the DVD case’s front cover. This cut will create a slot where you can insert your tablet.

Step 5: Create the Stand

To create the stand, fold the back cover of the DVD case in half, aligning it with the front cover. The fold should be made at the point where the DVD case hinges. This will create a triangular shape, with the front cover serving as the base and the back cover as the support.

Step 6: Secure the Stand

Apply a strong adhesive or glue to the folded back cover of the DVD case to secure it in place. Press firmly to ensure a strong bond. Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the tablet stand.

Step 7: Test and Adjust

Once the adhesive is dry, test the tablet stand by inserting your 14.6 tablet into the slot created in the front cover. Adjust the angle of the stand by folding or unfolding the back cover as needed. Ensure that the tablet is securely held in place and that the stand provides a comfortable viewing angle.

Step 8: Personalize (Optional)

If desired, you can personalize your tablet stand by decorating the DVD case with stickers, paint, or other creative materials. This step is optional but can add a unique touch to your DIY tablet stand.

Conclusion

Creating a tablet stand out of a DVD case is a simple and cost-effective way to repurpose your 14.6 tablet case. By following these steps and using basic materials, you can transform a DVD case into a functional stand that enhances your tablet experience. Enjoy hands-free use and comfortable viewing angles with your personalized tablet stand.
