A device designed to secure a mobile telephone on a flat surface, these fixtures typically attach to a table or similar area. They enable hands-free operation and viewing of the device’s screen. An example would be a user watching a video while working, or participating in a video conference without holding the phone.
These accessories enhance productivity by freeing hands for other tasks and can improve ergonomics by positioning the screen at a more comfortable viewing angle. Early versions were relatively simple, often using clips or basic suction cups. Modern iterations frequently incorporate adjustable arms, rotating joints, and more robust clamping mechanisms for greater versatility and stability. The evolution reflects a growing reliance on mobile devices in both professional and personal settings.
