Recipe
First off, I created a 2D sketch. Then I created a sketch on the XY plane. I used the line and arc tools to create my sketch. Then I used the dimension to make all of the lengths of my sketch the correct size. I had to make it the size for an Iphone so I knew that I wanted the height to be a little shorter than the height of an Iphone so I went with 3.5 in. Then I had to chose a width which would make the Iphone sit a a certain angle and I didn't want the phone to sit vertical so I went with something that would have the phone sit up at a nice angle. After I got all the dimensions correct then I finished the sketch and extruded my sketch. I had to extrude it by 3 in because that is around the width of the Iphone that I have.

I learned how to use inventor during this rotation. I already knew how to use most of the things but I tried knew things and learned how to use many more features. For example before this rotation I only knew how to use the line tool to make my sketches. In this rotation I tried to use the arc tool to create some different shapes so it wasn't just a boring rectangle. I wish I was able to actually make this because I think it would have turned out pretty cool but it was still fun to make it.
