Best Overall Cell Phone Stand

Omoton Adjustable

OVERALL
SCORE

Style: Fixed stand, adjustable angle | Holds a Tablet?: Yes

REASONS TO BUY

Stylish

Large

The Omoton Adjustable is our favorite model. We love this stand’s aesthetics and user-friendly design. Despite its small footprint, it is big enough to stand out on a cluttered desk. Unlike many other options we tested, this one can also undoubtedly hold a tablet of any size without risking toppling over and creating more of a mess. The aluminum, stiff-hinged adjustment mechanism stays in place but can be adjusted quickly and easily. The stand works great for one-handed use, as its silicone base plants it securely on your desktop.

If you are trying to minimize or reduce the number and size of objects on your desk, you may not appreciate the size of the Omoton. This stand is not foldable and isn’t the easiest to store. Besides the fact that it is larger than some of the other products in this review, the Omoton is a top-notch product and it’s our number one recommendation.

Simple, sleek, and versatile is the name of the game with the Omoton.

An Excellent Compact Travel Stand

Lamicall Adjustable Foldable

$8 at Amazon

OVERALL
SCORE

Style: Folding | Holds a Tablet?: A small one

REASONS TO BUY

Folds flat

Has angle adjustment

Compact and sleek

REASONS TO AVOID

No height adjustment

The Lamicall Adjustable Foldable impressed us with its compact profile, rubberized base and backing, and range of adjustability. This versatile model easily holds either a phone or a tablet and is our go-to for travel due to its simplicity and foldable design. It’s also super easy to use with headphones or while charging your phone.

The tradeoff for being compact and adjustable angle-wise is that it lacks height adjustability. The Lamicall doesn’t give much height off the desk, which isn’t a problem in most situations. After testing a wide variety of cell phone stands, we found that angle adjustability is much more important than height adjustment options.

Product Update Note — May 2022
The model we tested did not allow for height adjustment. However, the updated model that is now being sold offers two different adjustments for height.

We love how compact the Lamicall is. Its design makes it great for travel and cramped workspaces.

Best Bang for the Buck

UGreen Portable

$10 at Amazon

OVERALL
SCORE

Style: Folding | Holds a Tablet?: A small one

REASONS TO BUY

Super light

Folds flat

Adjustable angle

REASONS TO AVOID

Plastic construction is a little flimsy

No height adjustment

The UGreen Portable is simple, light, and compact; it’s just two pieces of plastic joined by an incremented, frictioned hinge. As you open the hinge further, you get a lower-angle view. This is the lightest and most compact stand we tested. The contact points are rubberized for stability, and for the minimalist digital nomad, the UGreen slides virtually unnoticed into a mobile office.

There is no way to adjust for height, and if you want to connect a power cord or headphones to your phone, you will be relegated to landscape view. The vertical view requires a clean, unused short bottom edge of your phone. We had no issues with the construction of the UGreen, but it feels a little flimsy.

The UGreen is ultra simple and features adjustable angle but no adjustable height.

Ideal for Filming and Video Calls

Lamicall Gooseneck

$26 at Amazon

OVERALL
SCORE

Style: Gooseneck| Holds a Tablet?: No

REASONS TO BUY

Sturdy connection

Incredible adjustability

REASONS TO AVOID

Needs a sturdy edge for mounting

Bounces around when you touch your device

The Lamicall Gooseneck mounts to almost any edge thanks to the adjustable clamp. You can attach it to your desk, nightstand, kitchen counter, and many other places. We imagine this stand is most useful for individuals who want to film themselves while working with their hands. Whether you’re shooting time-lapses of cooking techniques or artwork, this model gives you the height and adjustability to easily get top-down angles of you at work. It’s also easy to get your phone in and out of the phone clamp, and the edge clamp ensures that your device won’t fall over even if you give your desk a hard bump.

We were not thrilled that we couldn’t place the stand directly in front of us when working at a desk that backs up against a wall. Additionally, dialing in the angle requires serious muscle to bend and twist the neck to achieve the desired position. That said, it is highly adjustable and can be contorted to almost any angle you like. Just note that it is not ideal for typing or working on your phone; the gooseneck is pretty bouncy and phones will do some serious wiggling as you tap on them. All in all, Lamicall Gooseneck is ideal for people who want to film themselves from creative angles.

Why You Should Trust Us

We bring years of productivity, attention to detail, and of course, cell phone use, to this review. We compared and assessed versatility, stability, portability, ease of use, and aesthetics throughout the testing period. Each metric was evaluated individually, and all products were compared directly, and each metric was also noted during actual “real world” use. Calibrating subjective and objective assessments to one another yields our proven and authoritative conclusions.

Our primary tester on this project, Jed Porter, is well known for his work at sibling site OutdoorGearLab and as a full-time, year-round mountain guide and professional climber/skier. To optimize his time in the mountains, he has become one of our review and productivity gurus. He was joined by Buck Yedor who brings a surplus of home goods testing experience and an extreme passion for keeping his workspace tidy. Our review team brings fundamental office productivity, careful analysis, and a burning desire to do anything but sit at our desks. For that reason, we are students of efficiency and clean phone viewing/use spaces and systems.

Viewing recipes and other instructions on your phone is easier with a stand, and especially with a stand that features adjustable display angle.Few applications of a cell phone stand require minimum bulk. However, when size matters, it is difficult to shop and compare without our first-hand observations.All the 2020 tested products. Three “rows”, upper left to lower right: Aduro, Omoton, UGreen, Nulaxy, Lamicall Portable, B-Line, Lamicall, ToBeoneer.

Analysis and Test Results

To test cell phone stands, we mainly used them in our day-to-day lives. Then, to augment our daily use, we made formal observations. We weighed and measured each stowed product. We folded and unfolded each hinge, looking for wear and introduction of “play”. We tried each model with two different cell phone sizes and a small tablet and tested each one with and without a charging cord plugged in.

The Lamicall Portable is light and compact, with adjustable display height.

Value

Except for the B-Land Cell Phone Holder , all models are near the same price point. That being said, the B-Land is also unique in its versatility and wearable options, which could bring more value to its cost if you are looking specifically for such features.

Likewise, if the thought of storing your smartwatch alongside your phone is a high priority, the Omoton 2-in-1 includes this option for a price only slightly higher than the other models. For those that require a sturdy model, the metal options found in Omoton Aluminum will offer more long-term value in your investment as plastic versions may break easier. The Omoton also offers the most overall value if you are not entirely sure what niche your cell phone stand will fill in your workspace.

The ToBeoneer is all one piece and is way simple.

Versatility

While not all stands on the market will do so, all of those we tested will hold your phone vertically or horizontally and work with any phone model, size, or case configuration. What differentiates the models in our test is the variety of viewing angles and positions.

The B-Land is clever and simple. You have many options on how you use and deploy it.

Credit: Jediah Porter

Some adjust in nearly infinite ways, while others don’t adjust at all. Gooseneck-style products are the most adjustable. The B-Land Cell Phone Holder has infinite viewing angles and adjusts for height over a range of 1-2 feet. The B-Land can be configured to hang and even wear, making the gooseneck-style products the most versatile in our fleet. The desk-mounted Lamicall Gooseneck is as adjustable as the B-Land but with a much sturdier mounting system. We found the Lamicall to offer an endless amount of customizability.

Your cell phone stand isn’t just for holding your cell phone.

Credit: Jediah Porter

The remainder of the products we tested are differentiated by height and angle adjustment. If the non-gooseneck products adjust for height, it is only up to a couple of inches at most. Height adjustment is nice but is secondary in importance to angle adjustment. If you have to choose angle or height, choose angle adjustment. The UBeesize Selfie Tripod Stand is the one product that gives you an enormous amount of height adjustment. It can be extended up to 51 inches and offers a decent amount of angle adjustment as well.

Angle adjustment is helpful for any task that doesn’t take place at a seated desk. When lying on the couch or bed watching tv on your phone, you want your screen more vertical than you do at a desk. When standing and viewing your phone, as you might when following recipe directions in a kitchen or DIY instructions at a workbench, you want a flatter phone screen. An adjustable angle is handier than you would think. Other than the ToBeoneer, gooseneck products all readily adjust for angle, as do most of the other stands.

Shown here is the Omoton, one of our highest scorers.

If you are a highly organized, gadget-obsessed type, this may be the stand you’ve been looking for. The Omoton 2-in-1 is designed to hold a phone and keep your Apple watch secure. This stand is fixed and all-aluminum, with a silicone pad to help hold it in place. We liked the sturdiness of this stand, though its footprint is large, especially if you don’t plan to use it as a watch stand all the time.

Great for multi-taskers, the Omoton 2 in 1 holds a phone and an Apple Watch with ease.

Stability

In this subcategory, we looked at “bump resistance”. Can you readily use the touchscreen without stabilizing the phone with your other hand? What if you accidentally kick the leg of your table? Will you dislodge it all?

Stability is a function of the device’s ability to “stick” to the surface and the phone’s security within the stand. The stability of gooseneck stands is a double-edged sword. The long, flexible rods bounce around more than others. But, because the phone is clamped in place, a full disconnect is rare. The B-Land phone stand only clamps on the phone end, but its mass is greater, and it has a relatively flexible rod that is stiffer than the Aduro. We had good luck stabilizing the B-Land with a heavy book on the base.

Gooseneck holders bounce when you touchscreen, but they’ll vibrate back to a still viewing position.

The remainder of the products accomplishes stability with a combination of stand mass and rubber contact points. Heavier stands are more secure. All those that made our final cut have rubberized contact points everywhere they sit on a surface and everywhere your phone contacts them. The heavier metal stands, such as the Omoton Aluminum, are stable enough to drive your touchscreen one-handed without stabilizing with your other hand. Like the eminently portable UGreen, the plastic options require two hands for most touchscreen operations.

The grey circles are rubberized, gripping pads. All non-clamping stands in our test have rubber grips like this on all contact surfaces. Pictured here is the Lamicall.

Portability/Stowability

You’ll often want to take your cellphone stand where ever you take your phone. Having the ability to take your stand from home to work or a coffee shop is incredibly valuable. Our selected products vary significantly in stowed size and mass.

Gooseneck products are bulky and heavy. Only the most generous bike messenger style work satchels will have room for a stowed gooseneck holder. The rest are all much smaller. All non-gooseneck products take up less space than a can of soda. Among them, the fully folding versions are the only ones we can recommend for digital nomads. Paired with a folding keyboard, the clever technophile can closely replicate a laptop workspace with less carried mass and bulk than a legit Brooklyn slice.

A portable computing and correspondence solution is nice for travels that don’t require a computer but involve more typing than your touchscreen is ready for. A good stand makes it easier.

Credit: Jediah Porter

Much of what we like about the highest scoring Omoton Aluminum is its bulk. As it pertains to storage and transport, this bulk works against it. For dedicated desk usage, you won’t notice the size in any negative fashion. Other cell phone stands like the Omoton 2 in 1 are unabashedly large. These stands don’t stow easily and take up quite a bit of space on a desk.

Here’s a portable computing arrangement that is way more compact than any laptop. Folding stand, folding keyboard, and your smartphone. Shown here is the Nulaxy, folded.

Ease of Use

What does it take to get your phone in position? Simpler, in this case, is often better. The fixed-view angle and one-piece construction of the ToBeoneer is absolutely the easiest to use.

On the other end of the spectrum are the gooseneck options. Getting the optimum viewing angle with either of these can be a bit of a wrestling match. We found the B-Land a little easier to work with than the Aduro.

The simplest, cleanest product in our test. No moving parts and no adjustments on the ToBeoneer.

Credit: Jediah Porter

The plastic folding options can feel a little flimsy, especially when the alternatives are so robust, but it seems that the wrong sort of table drop could damage the UGreen. Though we aren’t prone to intentionally testing to failure, we also aren’t unfamiliar with equipment failure.

Imagine all you can do with this arrangement. Guitar practice? Car repairs? Dance lessons?

Aesthetics

Pleasing aesthetics are intertwined with function and productivity. Simple products with smooth contours scored best.

The Omoton excels in many ways, and we love all the different color options. The gooseneck models are pure function; no one was particularly enamored with their look. The ultra-simple ToBeoneer leaves lots and lots of room for function after form. This value-oriented choice could be a sculpture first and a cell phone holder, incidentally, without scoring any lower. It’s not sculpture, but that’s perhaps why it costs so little.

This Lamicall is simple and functional.

Conclusion

We’ve conducted an in-depth comparison of the best cell phone stands on the market. We purchased and used each model and had a team of testers consult on our findings. We bring a great deal of attention to detail to all product comparisons and hope we’ve been able to aid you in finding the best option for your workstation. And if you are still in the market for other phone essentials, you can also check out our reviews of iPhone cases including the best iPhone 12 cases and our favorite iPhone 13 cases.

It’s one of the most flexible phone stand designs you’ll ever try since there’s an infinite array of designs you can come up with to tickle your fancy. You can even turn it into a multifunctional phone stand by adding nooks for your keys and watch. While at it, you can consider creating a unique phone DIY charging station.

2. DIY Phone Stand Made From Spoons and Forks

4. Phone Stand Using Pencils

Need a quick, DIY phone stand to record your presentation for the next meeting? Grab five pencils and use three to fashion a triangle secured using rubber bands or string, add an extra pencil on one side for the stand base.

Tie a fifth pencil to the triangle corner opposite the base to prop up the stand, and hey presto! A functional, custom-made DIY phone stand that takes less than a minute to make.

5. Phone Stand Made of Paper Cups

Instead of dumping more paper cups into the environment, use them to create a functional DIY phone holder around the house. The process is straightforward, too. Create a medium-sized hole on the side of two, slot the third cup between the two cups, and voila! A custom-made phone stand from cups you’d have ended up dumping.

Have fun painting, coloring, drawing cute patterns on the cups, or covering them using fancy washi tape. Other ways to make this include using a single disposable coffee or ice cream cup.

6. Chair Phone Holder

Using your favorite chair as inspiration, you can design a DIY cell phone holder from scratch using only popsicle sticks. You may use a lawn, rocking, or hanging chair as the model and then add some fabrics to give it a realistic, miniature chair feel. Besides popsicle sticks, you can use any suitable material, from wire to wood.

7. DIY Phone Stand From Binder Clips

For this one, pull a pair of binder clips off your old business reports, clip them together to create a makeshift phone stand, position your phone, and you’re good to go. As shown in the video above, there are many ways to use clips as a stand for your phone.

8. Key Chain Phone Stand

You can create a handy portable DIY iPhone stand by attaching a piece of wood to a key chain. Depending on your phone’s size, mark and cut out a notch in the wood where the phone will sit. You can paint the wood or leave it plain.

9. Phone Stand Using Toilet Paper Roll

Sometimes all you need to make the best phone stand is to repurpose a toilet roll, cut it out in any shape you’d like, and use it to hold your smartphone investment.

Feel free to decorate it using any patterns or colorful stickers you want. You can even attach some push pins to make your phone stand more stable and stand out. With toilet paper rolls, the sky is the limit as far as designs are concerned.

10. Phone Holder From Ice Cream Sticks

If you’ve got a bunch of ice cream or popsicle sticks you no longer use, all you’ll need is hot glue, a pencil, and a pair of scissors to complete the list of things you’ll need to make this DIY cell phone stand. Similar to other projects on this list, the designs you can create are virtually countless. So feel free to let your creativity come out on this one.

11. Phone Stand Made of Cardboard

To make this phone stand, you’ll need a piece of cardboard 12cm by 15cm thick and scissors only. Cut it up and follow the steps described in this video to create a cheap yet practical phone stand you can use at home.

DIY projects don’t have to be challenging. Check out these easy DIY engineering projects for kids you can try at home with your child.

12. Phone Holder With Wine Corks

You’ll need six wine bottle corks for this project. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut out a suitably sized notch for your phone in three of them. Then glue all six corks together to create a stable holder for the phone. You can enjoy a glass of wine while watching a movie on it later. If you have beverage cans in your dustbin, you can use them too to make any of these genius DIY projects using drink cans.

How to make your own smartphone stand: 10 cool life hacks

You can’t imagine a modern person without a smartphone, but not everyone has a gadget stand. It is not always needed, but when you need it, you can do it yourself.

It doesn’t matter why you need a smartphone stand, if you don’t have a factory accessory, then you can always quickly make an analog from improvised means. And often we are not talking about disposable coasters, but about those that can be used for a long time.

Stationery clips

Stationery clips or binders help you quickly and easily build a smartphone stand. It is enough to supplement them with any plastic or even paper card, and the mount for the gadget is ready. You can also build a more complex structure from binders alone – as you wish.

ADVERTISING – CONTINUED BELOW

Paper or cardboard

If you remember the traditional Japanese art of origami or google the scheme of a homemade paper stand on the Internet, then you can literally build a smartphone mount with your bare hands using scissors and more or less thick paper or cardboard.

Wine corks

With a few wine corks, a little glue, a knife and some free time, you can make a smartphone stand in just a few minutes. Get a pretty stylish accessory.

Toilet paper sleeve

A cardboard toilet paper sleeve turns into a fully capable smartphone stand with a couple of knife movements. And if you add a couple more plastic cups, you get a completely portable speaker.

Paper clips

If there are no binder clips on hand, but there is at least a couple of large paper clips, then they will fit. With a couple of movements, they can be turned into stands suitable for holding a smartphone.

Plastic card

When you need a nosebleed stand and you have nothing but plastic cards on hand, you can turn them into a smartphone holder. It is better, of course, to use unnecessary discount cards or, at worst, gift certificates for this, and leave bank cards as a last resort, because after refinement it is unlikely to be used for their main purpose.

Lego

With enough bricks and imagination, it’s easy to assemble a real multifunctional docking station. What’s good is that it’s just as easy to turn it back into a constructor. And this is perhaps the most versatile way to create a DIY smartphone stand.

Audio cassette case

It’s easier to find a Lego set than an audio cassette case these days, but if you have one on hand, then the stand is actually ready.
