Storing your smartphone in your pocket or purse may become a thing of the past thanks to ClipLess. The aptly named device lets you affix your phone to yourself or your bag without needing a clip. ClipLess comes in three parts: a mount that goes onto the back of your phone, a [clip for the mount](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-kickout-grip-and-stand) and a magnet. The magnet is strong enough so that it won't slide off when stuck to clothing or a purse.

The video here shows ClipLess in action, with users doing everything from [sticking it to their shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-sling) to jogging with it. Don't let the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-wall-mount) example throw you off. ClipLess can be used by just about all types of phones, provided they have the space for the clip.
