A rugged, industrial-looking creation, it will appeal to the most manly of tech users out there. Crafted out of raw blocks of 6061 T-6 Billet Aluminum, the Rokform Rokstand is locally manufactured in the United States -- a rare characteristic for the majority of popular cases. Available in two sizes to accommodate both the smartphone and tablet, the Rokform Rokstand also comes in two different versions: a folding stand and a desktop stand. The folding stand is convenient for portability when out and about, while the desktop version is great to keep in the house or office for permanent use. Both come in a range of different colorways as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Rugged Technology Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating durable and masculine accessories for the tech market. - **Locally Manufactured Products:** Disruptive innovation potential in meeting consumer demand for locally made goods. - **Versatile Device Holders:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing holders that can accommodate both smartphones and tablets. ### Where This Applies - **Technology Accessories:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing and manufacturing durable and rugged tech accessories. - **Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation potential in reviving local manufacturing through the production of niche products like heavy-duty tablet holders. - **Office Supplies:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating versatile and stylish holders for smartphones and tablets for use in office settings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Tablet-Transforming Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elago-magnetic-stand-for-ipad.md) - [Cement-Made Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artifox-monument.md) - [Versatile EDC Phone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acestand-2.md) - [High-End Design Smartphone Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magsafe-iphone-stand.md) - [Magnetic Metallic Smartphone Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rokform-fuzion-magnetic-magmax-wallet.md) - [Extra-Tall Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-hoverbar-tower.md) - [Sleek Tablet Case Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryze-360.md) - [Magnetic Phone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ganinno-r-stand.md) - [Adaptable Professional Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-tablet-stand.md)
