Stand to hold Samsung S4 for remote deposit

I have an app that allows me to remote deposit a check. Problem is holding camera steady to focus and send clear pictures. Looking for a stand to hold a Samsung S4, slide the check under the camera in the stand and have the resulting frame be in focus/acceptable to bank. Any ideas? Thanks.

Amazon has some gorillapods and generic phone holders for tripods - might find something here that works for you...

I could use any of these if I pin the check on the wall, but I was hoping for a horizontal stand. Thanks to all for responding.

I have a Samsung S3 and make mobile deposits quite often. I just put the check down on my desk. I stand up to make sure I get good even lighting on the check. Then take the picture of the check. It's worked for me for some time.

If you have a nervous hand then maybe lean against a wall and put the check on the floor. Hope this helps.

Have you tried pinning the check to cork board (wall mounted ) then you could just take the photo in a normal manner.
