Legs
What is tilting/tenting (from https://docs.splitkb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019770320-What-are-tenting-and-tilting-):
I do NOT recommend tiliting/tinting acrylic cases, they are prone to cracking. If you want to try them you'll need more screws:
- M2 and M5 hexagon screws (M5, 2 x 30mm and 2 x 16mm)
- M5 hexagonal anti-loose nuts for tilting/tenting
- Chicago screws (M5x10mm), used as plugs if you're not using tilting/tenting.
3mm acrylic case, M2 countersink screws and 6mm standoffs, tenting made of M5 screws (2x30mm and 2x16mm).
You may use Chicago screws to lay the case flat (screws are M5x10 mm, acrylic case 3 mm):
There are a few solutions aside from tilted/tenting case:
- https://ergodox-ez.com/products/tilt-tent-kit (Ergodox-EZ legs, they cost $45 + shipping for a set of 6)
- https://splitkb.com/products/manfrotto-pocket-tripod (this is essentially a low profile photo tripod). People claim it's rigid.

These stepless steel phone stands. The manufacturer is called "BSOON", the rest is from German Amazon so it probably won't help you much (assuming you're not in Germany). But it's also available on AliExpress. It's a very sturdy hinge, it holds ipad pro 12.9 without trouble.
Alternatives:

- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002033463732.html (cheap one)
