Staxio Grove Universal Solid Wood Phone Stand

PUT THE PHONE UP WHERE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT

A phone lying flat means craning down to read it and knocking it over while reaching for a cup. Propped in a solid wood cradle, the screen angles toward you at glance height, which is the difference between a notification you can read and one that makes you pick the phone up. It takes any handset you set in it, cased or bare, so a new phone next year does not send it to the drawer. Maple keeps things light and pale against a bright desk while walnut goes dark and warm, and either way it is cut wood rather than a molded clip.

• Raises the screen to a glance angle so you stop bending over the desk to check a message.
• Steadies the phone against knocks, spills and the accidental sweep of a forearm mid-task.
• Cut from solid wood in maple or walnut, showing real grain instead of a printed finish.
• Takes any handset, cased or bare, so an upgrade does not make it redundant.
• Clears the desktop by giving the phone one dedicated place instead of a wandering spot by the keyboard.
