Magnetic Phone Stands

The 'Kyan' is a Slim Magnetic Phone Stand that Fits in a Pocket

— November 15, 2022 — Tech
The 'Kyan' is a compact portable kickstand for a phone, tablet, or other mobile device, that uses magnets to ensure the stability of the device. This phone stand folds down to a flat square that is small enough to slide into a pocket or backpack. The portability allows the Kyan to be easily set up on a desk at home or at work, as well as in a car, at a coffee shop, or nearly any other scenario where a mobile kickstand is required.

Kyan, the company behind the self-titled phone stand, ensured that the device was comfortable to use in any scenario, equipping with adjustable viewing angles, the ability to tilt, pan, rotate, and adjust height, as well as constructing the device out of a zinc alloy material that prevents it from failing under the weight of a tablet.

The Kyan can be ordered via the company's Kickstarter page at a starting price of $36 CAD.
