Rather than risking your device with a make-shift prop, consider trying out one of these dutiful smartphone stands. These integrated holders provide users with the perfect angle for streaming videos and surfing the web.
While some are designed with form over function in mind, others come with endless customization possibilities. If you prefer to add a little whimsical vibe to your device, the sushi-shaped stand or the toliet plunger prop will do the trick. There are also stands that help make using your pint-sized devices easier with magnified attachments. Suction cups and non-slip grips prevent nasty bumps from sending your device to the electronic graveyard. If you still prefer to do things yourself, there are a few DIY options that make clever use of ordinary household items.
These helpful smartphone stands provide a simplistic way to keep your devices at the angles you need them.
