Found a quick 'n easy solution for folks who want their stand to take up minimal space (and have no qualms about drilling a couple of holes into the wall or desk).
I used a "BJÄRNUM" hook from Ikea, which is attached to my desk hutch. I've seen other people use stuff from the BJÄRNUM family for headphone stands as well, many of them seem to be great for that purpose. Got it in a pack of three for about $10, and it conveniently folds up if for some reason I needed an additional 3 inches of space. I suppose a more creative person could also wrap some foam or something around to make a more rounded perching surface.
