Dual-Function Phone Stands

The Stilt by Quirky Serves as a Prop for Your Cell, as Well as a Stylus

— March 7, 2013 — Tech
Most smartphone accessories prove sufficiently useful -- when they're kept within your home. Unlike many of these knickknacks, the Stilt by Quirky is easy to carry around with you, even making it more worthwhile by performing a pair of functions.

The spring-loaded gadget opens up for easy fastening to your keychain. This same gap works as a slot for the side of your mobile phone, connecting to it securely and holding it at a slant for convenient tabletop viewing. Now let's say you would like to do some typing or perhaps play a game; the zinc-ended Stilt by Quirky easily disconnects and, on its opposite tip, conductive thermoplastic rubber stylus serves you with point-point accuracy while interacting with your touchscreen.
