SmartPhones are typically designed to fit in the palm of your hand. That works well when you’re simply answering, or making a phone call. However, today’s SmartPhone devices have evolved into so much more than a “phone” device. We use them for streaming, viewing videos, video chats, speakerphone conversations, selfies and so much more. So, the ability to hold your SmartPhone steady, and for longer periods of time, can become challenging.

The CLCKR “S”, for small, 34290 Universal Phone Grip & Stand may be the inexpensive SmartPhone problem solver you’ve been looking for. This handy little gem prevents phone dropping and fatigued hands. Thin and stylish it easily attaches to most phones since it uses a 3M adhesive that leaves no residue should you desire to remove it. When affixed, wireless magnetic charging is still possible. You can handhold your SmartPhone by simply slipping your fingers into the grip’s strap, or use the straps pullout feature to place it in a portrait or landscape position on almost any surface.

(TIP: The CLCKR S 34290 fits most current models of SmartPhones. It does not fit most cases or battery pack style cases.)

The grip is available in several different colors and two sizes as well as a case model that also incorporates the grip feature. The larger model is designed for iPads and similar devices. Like most heavy use items the durability will be determined by the use you give it. Being an inexpensive accessory it’s easily replaced if tattered or worn.

MSRP: $7.99 - $14.99 ~ based on size model
