This is a project I have been working on for several months, I think it is pretty phenomenal. I did not do the coding or project management or any of those kinds of things that I am terrible at, but all of the mechanical and optical design was mine.
This is the FOV2GO (Fold-out-viewer-to-go): http://projects.ict.usc.edu/mxr/open-source/fov2go/
Basically, it is a piece of laser cut foamcore that folds origami-style into a 3D viewer for your phone, very similar to the Hasbro My3D. Seems simple, but it took over 80 prototypes to get everything just right, with all the folding measurements just so. I made one version for iPhones, and another for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Some pictures of the Nexus version:

The viewer gives access to the camera, volume buttons (Which can be used as inputs in iOS5) and hold/home buttons. The field of view is 49 degrees diagonally, much better than the Hasbro My3D. We gave away a few hundred at the IEEE VR 2012 conference, but we just got a big chunk of funding, so we are planning on making several thousand viewers that we can give away for the cost of shipping.
