I recently met the creator of the ‘crabble’ at a business seminar and he had some examples of his product with him which caught my eye.
The ‘Crabble’ is a mobile phone stand which suits most smartphone types. Unlike most desktop stands it’s very portable – it fold flat and will fit inside most wallets.
Pros
- Simple and Compact
- Does what it is supposed to do
- Fun designs
Cons
- A bit pricey for what is effectively a bent piece of flat plastic with some rubber bands on the ‘feet’ (£5.99 RRP)
- No space for the charging / sync lead
- Design hidden when in use
I found it easy to use, sturdy enough for my phone and a pleasure to look at. If you have a phone that uses a lot of battery, you might have a problem though – there simply isn’t enough clearance at the bottom of the stand for the charging lead to stay connected. OK if you turn the phone sideways, but this really only works for viewing movies or web browsing.
