If your phone lives flat on your desk, constantly buzzing, sliding around, or forcing you to look down every time it lights up, this is one of the simplest upgrades you can make.

We bought two aluminum phone stands because at first my phone was not magnetic, however I still wanted my phone upright, visible, and out of the way — without adding clutter or spending much money. Later on we found the second one and although we were still magnet-less, I appreciated the inclusion of a self-adhesive one for my phone case.

Why This Small Desk Upgrade Matters

Most desk problems aren’t big problems, but rather daily annoyances.

Such as a phone laying flat:

• Breaks your focus
• Forces poor posture
• Takes up usable desk space
• A simple phone stand fixes all three.

Why We Chose these Phone Stands

✔ Solid Aluminum Build

This isn’t flimsy plastic. The aluminum body gives it enough weight to stay put, even when tapping or swiping.

✔ Adjustable Viewing Angle

You can tilt it to the angle that feels natural, whether you’re working, watching a video, or on a call.

✔ Fits Any Phone

• It works with:
• iPhones and Android phones
• Phones with cases on
• Small tablets (depending on size)

✔ No Setup, No Assembly

Take it out of the box, put your phone on it — done.

Who This Is For (And Who It’s Not)

This phone stand is perfect if you:

• Work at a desk
• Take frequent calls or notifications
• Want a cleaner workspace
• Like simple, inexpensive upgrades

It’s not for you if:

• You want wireless charging built in
• You need a heavy-duty mount for vehicles
