A lot of the ones they sell have hinges. So what if you keep the base and then create something that slips in through a circular hole in the back and says by locking on to the side (like it slides in like those magician puzzles that lock at certain angles instead of something that's just straight and pokes in). Then have it be something that can pivot up and down and rest at the bar right below where you have your laptop held - but can be lifted up to help support its body. But when you lift your laptop they just pop back down because of gravity.

Just an idea kicking around the old brain bin because of how those pre-made ones are made. But tbh - my cardboard one is pretty close to yours >.>!
