Get a close look at this 14 inch screen magnifier that uhmm well.. magnifies your screen. Because with it you won’t need to get a close look at your phone because your screen will be…magnified. The, as Amazon calls it “14 inch Screen Magnifier for Cell Phone, Phone Screen Magnifier, 2022 Upgraded Version Screen Amplifier, Mobile Phone Magnifying Screen, Foldable Smartphone Screen Magnifier” (we’ll just go with screen magnifier for everyone’s sanity here), uses simple optics to make your smartphone’s image the size of an iPad.
Just place your phone in the back, slide out the screen and flip it up. Make sure to pop the legs out because legs are important for both humans and machines apparently. Now you’re basically at an iMax movie (if you stand really close and cough up $20 on your way into the room). It’s a simple design and the fact that it folds flat makes it easy to travel with. You can also use it as a stand for your phone without the screen. Not sure why you’d want to do this, but you could. It has a universal fit for most smartphones.
How big is it? Did you miss the chart above? Scroll up cause we ain’t typing out the numbers today. The manufacturer recommends sitting about 3-6 feet away. However this still might be a great gadget to bring on planes and sit it on the tray table. You don’t want to eat those dry cookies anyway. Great for seniors and kids too. Overall it seems like a pretty good deal for the price, just a simple gadget that does what it says and nothing more, nothing less.

Dancing Robot iPhone Stand
How much fun is this iPhone stand? As you can see in the video on Takara Tomy‘s site the Dancing Face Stand holds your iPhone and dances around. His arms and legs really move. And when used with the dedicated app, it puts your face right where the robot’s face would be so it looks like you’re a dancing robot. Super fun. Available end of June in Japan. (via akihabara)

KeyProp: A Key-Sized Smartphone Stand
The KeyProp is a super portable smartphone stand that you can take with you anywhere right on your keyring. In fact, it’s just like a key except that the teeth actually fit into either a 3.5mm headphone jack or lightning connector and it props up your phone. To adjust the angle, just slip more keys underneath it. The KeyProp is made of durable polycarbonate with a rubberized exterior and designed to fit almost any smartphone, even with cases on. Currently it’s a KickStarter project but at press time it seems likely to make it to production.

MonkeyOh, Cord Holding Charging Monkey
Meet MonkeyOh by Felix, the adorable monkey that holds your cords. If there’s one thing monkeys are known for it’s being neat and not making a mess- obviously the term “monkeying around” is a misnomer. Your cord wraps around him and his tiny monkey hands hold your smartphone while his monkey “backpack” holds your Apple power plug (which you’ll need, whether you use an iPhone or some other USB charging phone). The USB goes into his monkey mouth and no monkey business, you’re charging. It even works as a monkey stand without the plug. That’s one funky monkey.

Guard Man Phone Holder
Need a hand holding up your phone? Don’t worry, the Guard Man Phone Holder is the man for the job. This Keith Haring-esque little man comes in pink, orange, green, brown, blue, white and is made of MDF and wood. Designed for the iPhone but you could probably use any similar sized phone. He kind of looks like he’s riding either a snowobard, wakeboard, or skateboard with your phone. $38 imported from Japan.
Astronaut and Soldier Smartphone Stands
Blast off or blast some bad guys with Astronaut and Soldier Smartphone Stands (JP). I love how the astronaut looks like he’s talking on his own cell phone. The soldier is on his phone as well. Maybe he’s calling the astronaut, “hey spaceman, whatchu doing?”. “Nothing, just floating around”.
I’m sensing a communication theme here. Also a holding large boxes on your back theme. Mark my words, in the future real astronauts will in fact talk on tiny smartphones while hauling massive iPhones on their backs. It will happen.

Creepy Skeleton Hand Phone Stand
Hey, can I give you a hand with that phone? This slightly creepy Bone Phone Stand is made of adjustable silicone. Just bend the fingers into position and it holds your phone up just like real human anatomy has evolved to do (it’s true, unbend your own fingers from the touch-typing position and they will instantly go into the “hold your smartphone” position).
This stand is somewhere in between cute and creepy. Cute if you’re a doctor, creepy if you’re an ax murderer. If you’re both, well that’s a whole different story. The product page admonishes you to not use it to scare your friends, which only makes me want to use it to scare my friends. You can’t stop me words on a screen.

Stick ‘em Up Phone Stand
Stick ‘em up! Gunning for a new way to hold up your iPhone? Are you the type to shoot first and ask questions later? Do ya’ feel lucky, punk? The Stick ‘Em Up! iPhone Stand
With this suction cup phone stand you can mimic all the classic gun games like: cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, guy on the subway playing Angry Birds and dude who snatches phones and resells them on eBay. All the classics.
Une Bobine: iPhone Charging Cable and Flexible Tripod
This is smart. Instead of using a cheap floppy cable to charge up your iPhone why not add some stiffness to it so it can work as a stand or a tripod? The Une Bobine does just that. This 2 foot long cable comes in both iPhone and micro-USB formats to handle most phones. It’s flexible but holds it’s shape when you bend it.
You can use it as a tripod/stand without even plugging it in. Wrap it around fences and things like that to take unique photos. Or use it as a stand on your desk to keep both the phone and the cables clear and out of the way (also ideal if you tend to spill things on your desk). Simple, effective, genius. $30.
