Yeah. I use the matchbox slid partially open. It's just to keep the ash from tipping out. If the pipe is empty, it lies on its side. I have a stand or two, but don't use them daily.

My wife cuts about an inch off of the end of a cardboard paper towel tube and sets her pipes in them.
I use an egg carton with the lid cut off. Not flash but works a charm.
Did you see this little contraption @SpookedPiper had on the shank of one of his pipes to keep it up right? I’m assuming that is what it was there for... hmm ?
Quite interesting, nice looking...

It was holding up one of my wife's orchids, but not any more!! ?
I thought that's what that was. The color threw me off. Mine are all green.
They work well but the slightly bigger ones found at the dollar store are even better for outdoors, increase stability and possible wind gusts. And if your suave, you can even convince the significant other to carry it for you!
Leather loop has come in handy last few days while rest of my pipes were stored away. Now I'm beginning to bring them out again, most of the just rest on top of pipe sock. Leather loop is mostly used for pipes in queue for next day and while I'm smoking out on front porch. Leather and brass, can't beat that. Unless it's ostrich leather and copper.. Better yet gator and ti..
I have a few different pipe rests as the one size or shape doesn't fit all. The gourd calabash rest was from Etsy and being heavy, does not tip over.
Make your own? Not that hard if you have even minor skill set and some scrap lumber laying around.
I' have 1 of those leather loop stands, and only because it came with a Peterson that i ordered. My Racks I also make myself.
I do use the leather loop occasionally for taking pics.

I got a nice rack I made in the living room, holds 14...not very portable though.
This 1 I made a while back from a piece of briar that was no good for pipe making due to a major flaw, and a couple mini crossbow bolts. Handcarved skull on the face, green felt lining the bottom. 
I thought that sitters looked funny for no real purpose, until I sat down with my sitter pipe, a book, and a neat bourbon. Eureka!
