This idea came to me when I was working on a project and realized I was distracted by my phone and couldn't get any work done. So I created this little desk device as a solution to my problem!

This phone holder uses rack and pinion gears as the mechanism for the flipping and extension springs for it to return to normal.

This has helped me to keep my phone distractions to a minimum and hopefully it works for you too!

Here is a video of it working: https://youtu.be/44wTEteKXZM
