Travelers and desk workers who want a spot to prop up a phone will like this folding stand. It opens into a stable shape and folds flat again when you are done, so you can pack it away or set it up in seconds.
The stand is built around a print-in-place hinge, with parts that rotate independently through their own range of motion. This lets you angle your screen the way you like, whether you are on a plane, at a desk, or on a nightstand.
Its folding design was generated using code, giving it a clean and simple geometric look. The open shape is made to hold a phone or tablet at an angle for easy viewing.
This item is not made or sold by any phone or tablet brand. It is an independent accessory designed to work with common devices.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
