Possible solution to lack of kickstand?

[drexappeal]

Alright, so I know many of you who currently own an EVO 4G know, joey3002 created a custom battery cover for the EVO with many different colors. For the most part, it seemed like a lot of people had good feedback about the custom battery covers.

Here's the link to his thread about the battery covers:

So, I pm'd him to see if he thinks it's possible to create the same type of deal for the EVO 3D, except with a kickstand incorporated and possibly better protection for the camera lens.

I haven't heard from him yet, but I figured I'd make a poll to see how many people would actually be interested in a custom battery door that had a kickstand incorporated into the battery door?

I don't know how realistic it is to expect an exceptionally "sturdy" kickstand to be made with a custom battery door, but no harm in putting this out there in case there might be other people that think they could make a product that would work. I don't have any resources to even venture into this idea (otherwise I might have tried on my own first).

There needs to be the following option:
"Yes, so long as there is a way for me to still charge the phone while the phone is propped up on the kickstand."

I'd add that, but can't find a way to edit the poll.

I think a mod has to do it.

If it were brushed aluminum, yes.

The kickstand itself is brushed aluminum. Pics are floating around in one of the 3d kickstand threads.

Nice! I do wish that the battery cover could be made of some type of metal. It would make the phone feel so much more awesome.

I would think they want to shy away from that simply because of the potential antenna issues.

I would really like a kickstand and I would a slightly better design that would allow for more stability. It would also be cool if it was in an "L" shape that way you could have it on the kickstand in either landscape or portrait.

I updated the poll and extended its' timeframe.

As for the L shape kick stand idea, maybe something like this.

Someone is going to have to take over for reasearching this because everything is shaping up for me to likely get a Photon 4G for my upgrade.
