Cardboard
Corrugated cardboard sheets, preferably E Flute (corrugated cardboard comes in a variety of thicknesses called "flutes"), available at many art supply shops and online . For best results, you should look for strong, thin cardboard (sturdy shoe box rather than removal box). Minimum size: 22 cm (8.75") by 56 cm (22"), and 1.5 mm (0.06") thick. Online sources here and here -
Lenses
This is the trickiest component. Lenses that have a 45 mm focal distance might work. Biconvex lenses work best because they prevent distortion around the edges. -
Hook and loop fastener
Two strips of standard-strength adhesive-backed hook and loop fastener. Approximate size: 20 mm (0.75") by 30 mm (1.25"). -
Elastic band
One elastic band to prevent the phone from sliding out. Minimum length of 8 cm (3.2"). -
