The kickstand works with a finger ring holder that requires installation onto the rear of the smartphone and pairs with the detachable clip. A jaw grip will bite onto an array of items including doors, beaches, shopping cart handles and more to keep the smartphone in place at all times during use. The 'Kling KONG™' smartphone kickstand measures in at a mere 0.2-inches in thickness and is crafted using low-slip materials to keep it in place on an array of surfaces. The low-cost holder can be collapsed when not in use to have it sit flush to the device. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Versatile Smartphone Mounts:** Smartphone mounts that can be attached to various surfaces for handsfree use. - **Low-cost Phone Accessories:** Affordable phone accessories that enhance user experience. - **Compact Device Holders:** Space-saving phone holders that can be easily stored when not in use. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile Accessories:** The mobile accessory industry can benefit from creating low-cost holders and mounts with versatile features. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can incorporate compact and multi-functional device holders for their smartphones and other devices. - **Retail:** Retailers can incorporate low-cost, compact phone accessories such as the Kling KONG in their product offerings to enhance customer experiences and drive sales. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adaptable Magnetic Smartphone Grips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popsockets-kickout-grip-and-stand.md) - [Magnetic Phone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganinno-r-stand.md) - [Magnetic Phone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kyan.md) - [Adjustable Clip Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phoneclip.md) - [Multi-Functional Smartphone Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meboge.md) - [Smartphone Ring Grip Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanopop-magsafe.md) - [Hands-Free Vertical Phone Grips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickout-grip-stand.md) - [Versatile EDC Phone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acestand-2.md) - [Modern Magnetic Smartphone Grips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-ring-holder.md)
