Multifaceted Phone Carriers

The Universal Mini Stand is a Versatile Tech Accessory

— August 30, 2012 — Business
Sometimes the simplest looking products have the biggest impact. The latest brainchild of the innovative Tabu design team, the Universal Mini Stand, is a prime example. Belying its simple plastic appearance (and misleadingly simple name,) the product is a stand, a cable organizer and even gives your mobile phone the ability to hang off a multitude of surfaces. This simple device can be used in no less than a dozen configurations, promising to revolutionize the way we interact with our mobile phones.

As you can see in the video, the stand is very versatile. Use it at your desk, in your car or even bring it along in your bag to keep your cables neatly organized. The product makes charging docks look chunky and obsolete, and cable managers look inadequate. Presently, no other product in the market promises to do so much at such a small price and size.

Today, Tabu products have launched the Universal Mini Stand project on Kickstarter.
