# Contoured Handset Holders The i-Return Apple Stand Allows You to Keep a Hand Free By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-06-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-return-apple-stands References: [mocoloco](http://mocoloco.com/fresh2/2011/05/31/i-return-frames-by-nothing-design-group.php) & [designnothing](http://www.designnothing.com/sub_02.html) It's great than your [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-ipad-stand) is small and light enough that you can use it without setting it down; however, there come times when such an action is not only preferable, but easy enough to accomplish. Instead of placing your gadget flat on a table, the i-Return Apple Stand provides the perfect place to rest it, within the sculpted cutout of a angled mounting. Nothing Design Group makes a number of such device accessories, and this one is particularly talented. With two sides, you can insert your naked [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elago-m4-charging-stand) or [iPod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinypod) with close contours, or a wider gap lets you pop it in with its still case on. Space is left for your headphones and your charging cord to be kept attached, which make the i-Return Apple Stand a handy at-home item. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Contoured Handset Holders:** Contoured handset holders are becoming more popular as people seek to find innovative ways to use their gadgets. - **Device Accessories:** Device accessories are being developed to enhance the functionality of gadgets and provide new user experiences. - **At-home Gadgets:** At-home gadgets are evolving to become more user-friendly and provide greater convenience. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of contoured handset holders by developing innovative accessories that enhance user experience. - **Home Furnishings:** Home furnishings companies have an opportunity to create products that incorporate contoured handset holders into their designs to provide a more integrated user experience. - **Product Design:** Product design firms can develop novel and innovative contoured handset holders that provide unique and memorable user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cable Storage Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hold-the-phone-stand.md) - [Retro Computer Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elago-m4-charging-stand.md) - [Magsafe Phone Stand Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbit-phone.md) - [Pocket-Sized Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mophie-portable-magnetic-stand.md) - [Freestanding Smartphone Dock Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jteman-phone-stand-and-speaker.md) - [Floating Monitor-Mounted Tech Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/line-linestand.md) - [Minimalist Dual-Device Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-powerthru-2in1-charging-stand.md) - [High-End Design Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magsafe-iphone-stand.md) - [Magnetic Phone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganinno-r-stand.md)
