For consumers that inevitably bring their smartphone with them while using the bathroom, the LooLedge is a convenient [sanitary station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toilet-lid-closer) that offers a place for people to put their phone down. The device features a toilet paper holder with an added extended ledge that holds cellular devices while the consumer is using the bathroom. The ledge ensures that smartphones are kept in a safe place when not in use.

Rather than try to convince consumers of [leaving their smartphones behind](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-lock-box) when they use the bathroom, the design of the LooLedge embraces that people will bring their tech devices with them no matter where they go. The LooLedge features a handy and secure area to [place a smartphone device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acestand-2) while going to the bathroom. This also keeps the device free from touching unhygienic hands till after they are washed.
