They both fit pretty tightly, which is going to make things tough for you.
The acrylic was reasonably easy, but I can't get the wood one to slide the full distance.

I've thought about it, but I'm not sure. What I imagine doing is finding a stand for some other phone that people are happy with, and then making a new top/holder piece for it.
Anyone have suggestions for such a base?

The wood ones are definitely tough to get together. I've taken a few different approaches. The biggest thing is just to use more force. They will be very tight fitting. It may be helpful to press the brace bar against the sharp edge of a table, or even to use other parts from your stand to get things done.
I am really tired and about to go to bed, but I made a quick video. It just shows me assembling a wooden stand so you can see what I do and how much force I use. That video will be uploaded in 20 minutes from the time of this posting (right click/save as):

For people who purchased acrylic stands, I have made a second video showing what you should expect from your stand in terms of tightness, tolerances, and assembly.

It will be finished uploading about 30 minutes from the time of this post.
Again, the wood stand video is:

Tomorrow, I'll convert these into Youtube videos.

Here's a link to an image of the holder.

I've ordered tree of these cuties... and I haven't even got the phone yet! Only 144 SEK. Now that's a good deal!

Happy customer
got my stands today. Was a bit concerned about fit at first but used the 'more force' method to get all parts to sit in the right places.
