It provides a flexibility to accommodate both [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magfree-pro) and PC products. More than that, it was also created with the music industry in mind. Conceived by New York-based design duo gregorysung, the Elastick universal stand is a simple microphone handle-shaped object that boasts four elastic bands able to stretch to accommodate a variety of rectangular devices such as tablets and smartphones. It rests conveniently in standard microphone holders so that musicians and producers can better utilize their devices in the recording studio. Currently on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acestand-2), the Elastick universal stand is available with either black or red silicone straps. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Flexible Gadget Stands:** The Elastick universal stand showcases the trend of flexible gadget stands that can accommodate various devices. - **Cross-platform Compatibility:** The Elastick universal stand taps into the trend of providing stands that can work with both Apple and PC products. - **Industry-focused Design:** The Elastick universal stand highlights the trend of creating gadget stands specifically tailored for the music industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Recording Studio Equipment:** The Elastick universal stand presents disruptive innovation opportunities for manufacturers in the recording studio equipment industry. - **Consumer Electronics:** The Elastick universal stand opens up potential disruptive innovation opportunities for companies in the consumer electronics industry. - **Design and Manufacturing:** The Elastick universal stand creates avenues for disruptive innovation in the design and manufacturing sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Purpose Computer Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-stand3.md) - [Mini Desk Technology Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elgato-mini-mount.md) - [Versatile EDC Phone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acestand-2.md) - [Floating Workstation Microphone Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elgato-wave-mic-arm-lp.md) - [Wireless Aluminum Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magfree-pro.md) - [Haute Tubular Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookarc-flex-macbook-stand.md) - [Highly Portable Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxtand-20.md) - [Ultra-Slim Folding Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metastand-pro.md) - [Adaptable Professional Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-tablet-stand.md)
