That's really neat that they give instructions on how to build your own, but I kind of want a way to just buy it and get the product (as shown in the animated hero) delivered to me.

Is anyone aware of some premade cheap versions of this for various phones (maybe plastic)? I'd pay $30-50 just to play with this without the hassle of putting this all together. Might make a nice short term business for an enterprising individual.

You can find knock-offs all over the web and places like Alibaba. This one was pointed out on Reddit recently and I ordered a couple, but shipping will likely take a while. Also note that they seem to be backordered now:
