The LISEN Cell Phone Stand Phone Holder has an adjustable design for both height and angle. Compared to a rigid plastic stand, it provides the extra adjustability you need to find your perfect viewing angle. You can raise the phone to eye level for video calls to avoid annoying ceiling-angle shots, and tilt it back to view content on a countertop while using your hands. The stand also includes silicone pads that prevent scratches on the desk or countertop and the back of the phone.

Head over to Amazon to get the LISEN Cell Phone Stand Phone Holder for just $9.95, down from its usual price of $17.95. That’s an $8 discount and 44% off.

An adjustable aluminum stand that holds phones and small tablets

While many stands offer height adjustments, no feature matters more than raising the phone to eye level. When you place your phone lower, you have to look down, which puts the camera below your chin and makes the other party see nothing but the ceiling. Adjusting the stand to bring the camera to eye level creates a video-call appearance, as though you’re sitting directly opposite another individual at a table.

A major issue with lightweight, inexpensive plastic phone stands is that they easily move or tip over whenever you tap the screen. That’s due primarily to the weight of these stands being very minimal compared to the amount of force generated by tapping. The LISEN aluminum stand is designed to be heavy and remain stationary even after multiple screen taps, so you don’t need to steady the phone with one hand while sending a message or stopping a video.

To protect your phone’s back and case, and to avoid scratching wood countertops or desks, the LISEN stand includes three silicone pads: one on each foot of the stand and one inside the cradle where your phone rests. Those pads also stop the stand from slipping across your desk.

The stand supports phones ranging from about 4 inches to 8 inches. That range includes older models such as the iPhone SE, as well as newer larger models like the Galaxy Ultra and small tablets. Since the cradle opening is wide enough to keep cases attached, you don’t need to remove anything before placing your phone in the stand.

The stand also folds flat when you’re finished using it, so it can travel with you in a bag or fit in a drawer when not in use. People who work from multiple locations often like this option because they can easily transport the stand between those different locations. A cutout at the base of the cradle also lets a charging cable pass through while the phone sits in place.
