desire2 Anywhere Foldable Holder for Smartphones and Tablets

£17.99

I’ve seen a lot of phone stands on the market, but I’ve rarely seen a stand that is designed for both smartphones and larger devices such as a tablet. Therefore, I was excited to test out the Anywhere Foldable Holder from desire2, designed to be a compact, flexible and reliable stand for smartphones and tablets.

The stand we got to test out came in a lovely silver colourway and is made from a premium aluminium alloy. The stand is larger than a typical phone stand, designed to comfortably sit either a tablet up to 12 inches in size or a phone on it. I especially love just how durable and sturdy the stand feels, as each section and rotatable pivot is firm and secure so you know your phone or table will be supported well during use. I love that the cradle has a silicone rubber buffer to help grip your device on the holder and to ensure there is no damage caused by the stand to your device either.

The design of the stand is super innovative, with cutouts on the base plate, back and phone cradle making it easy to connect your device to a charger without it getting in the way of the stand. The base holes also mean that the entire stand can be folded super compactly, with the phone cradle arms hooking through the base plate. This compact design is perfect for folding the stand down to take with you on the go. This makes it super convenient for travel or storage as it doesn’t take up much space in your bag, and then you can use it wherever you are as a hands-free stand for your phone or tablet. This would be great for taking with you on holiday to convert your tablet into a screen for watching TV shows and films especially if your hotel room doesn’t have a TV. However, even if you don’t have a tablet, the shape of the Anywhere Foldable Holder means that you could even put your Nintendo Switch on the stand, to use it as a screen for gaming with friends. This makes the stand super useful across a whole range of uses and devices.

One of the many benefits of the Anywhere Foldable Holder is that it stops you from leaning your head in uncomfortable positions when using your tablet. This is ideal when using the tablet for things like work or university, as you can elevate the screen up in front of you. This helps to reduce strain on your neck and back and also prevents you from having to lean your device precariously to get the same effect normally.

Whilst I don’t typically use a tablet for work, I can say that the stand is great for watching TV shows without having to hold your device. I like that you can just set your tablet or phone on the stand, and you have a screen ready to stream your favourite TV shows or films. Plus, the cradle can be moved up to 210° so you can always get the best angle no matter where you place the stand or what you need it for.

If you’re on the hunt for a stand that specifically works for larger devices such as a tablet or gaming consoles like a Nintendo Switch, then the Anywhere Foldable Holder for Smartphones and Tablets is a great choice. It's secure, looks sleek and feel durable, offering you everything you could need from a device stand. Plus, for only £17.99 you can’t really go wrong!

Pros:

• Durable premium aluminium alloy design that feels secure
• Up to 210° rotation for the best angle always
• Large design perfect for tablets or larger devices with the simple functionality of a traditional phone stand
• Innovative and ergonomic design ideal for ease of use and compact travel/storage
