Summary

• Phone stands improve comfort by offering better viewing angles, reducing neck and eye strain during YouTube viewing.
• I maintain several stands in various rooms and carry one when traveling to guarantee a specific spot for my phone.
• Phone stands vary in design, providing different degrees of portability, stability, and adjustability.

Phone accessories are plentiful: cases with suction cups, pop sockets, straps, and more. Most aim to address minor inconveniences or enhance convenience slightly. Yet, there's one accessory that's simple yet vital for me: phone holders.

Phone Stands Are an Accessory I Can't Live Without

If you've never used a phone stand or holder daily, you're missing out on a lot. When smartphone usage surged in the early 2010s, I didn't grasp the concept of phone stands. I thought holding the phone or leaning it against any object to watch content in landscape mode was sufficient.

However, everything changed when I bought my first phone stand about seven years ago. I soon realized its value was significantly underestimated. Unlike my makeshift pile of TV remotes, the stand securely held my phone at the perfect angle, and if it didn't, I could easily adjust it with one hand.

PostsStands and holders significantly enhance the comfort of using your phone. Tall phone holders can raise your phone to eye level, while even budget-friendly stands offer improved viewing angles.

I bet some of you are reading this with your phone flat on the desk. However, this habit encourages an unhealthy and uncomfortable posture, as you must bend your neck for long periods, causing strain.

Why Stop at Just One?

Phone stands are inexpensive—you might start with one to test its impact, but there's little reason not to buy several at once. A six-pack on Amazon costs only $8, enough for the entire family. I always pack a phone stand when traveling (that's how essential it is to me), so I keep a few spares in case I forget one in a hotel room.

I realized I needed more phone stands when I kept moving the same stand from room to room. So, I bought a few more and now have at least one in every room where I might want to watch YouTube, such as the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.

I keep my phone upright on my desk—not just for watching YouTube but also to monitor important emails and notifications. I also have a phone mount in my car for music and navigation, another essential accessory everyone should consider.

Having a phone stand in every room also helps me quickly locate my phone. Instead of searching every room, I just check the spots where the stands are placed.

Posts The Many Types of Phone Stands and Holders --------------------------------------------

While phone stands, holders, and kickstands all serve to prop up your phone, they do so differently. Let's briefly review each type to help you choose the one that suits your needs best.

Kickstands are the most basic solution. Some are integrated into phone cases, while others, like the Kinizuxi kickstand, attach to the phone's back. I'm not a big fan due to their flimsiness, but they're highly portable and ideal for travelers or outdoor enthusiasts.

Phone stands are slightly larger and more robust. They often offer more adjustability and additional features. For example, the Nulaxy stand has a cable cutout for charging, making it ideal for desk use.

The Nulaxy foldable iPhone stand is perfect for propping it up while you workout—and you can take it anywhere.

See at Amazon If your phone supports wireless charging, consider a stand that also supports Qi wireless charging. This is excellent for your desk, especially if it's a larger stand with space for your smartwatch and earbuds, like the Nimble Fold 3-in-1.

Phone holders are the largest and can typically be clamped or mounted to surfaces, similar to a car phone mount but for your desk or kitchen countertop. A good example is the Lamicall Gooseneck phone holder. Holders provide the most positioning flexibility but take up more space, so choose their location carefully. I recently ordered one for my kitchen—a great spot to repurpose an old tablet.

Despite being one of the most affordable and often overlooked phone accessories, I find phone stands indispensable. If you're hooked on watching YouTube or Netflix content on your phone, you'll soon appreciate their usefulness.
