It might sound like something quite simple, but merely propping your phone up on something is always a bit of a pain. On a train, at your desk, at home, you might find that you’re using a chair, a pillow, a bottle or some other random object to …

For $74.99 or £74.99, this is the “Smooth XS”. You can use it as a selfie stick, as a stand and as a way to make your videos super-smooth. It weighs 246g and slides out to 260mm for wider shots and is available in white or pink. You …

Unless you’re a huge and well-financed company, getting your product, service or software in front of the assembled eyeballs at Mobile World Congress is a massive investment. The exhibition packages for the Barcelona event – even if you’re right at the back of the event in Hall 8.0 …

Got yourself a Samsung Galaxy Note10 and want to help the environment a bit? Well, you could try on of these Oxford Eco cases. Each screen cover is made from two recycled plastic water bottles, effectively removing tonnes of plastic from potential land fill (if you put it …

Right now I’m sitting on my backside. Some years ago, when I was at school, I somehow chose a profession which would involve me sitting down for many hours on end. It’s not healthy. It’s not good for you. My fitness band keeps telling me off. It gives …

If you liked the look of the Collectable Spiderman Smartphone holder but you’re not necessarily a Spiderman fan, we’ve got another option. This is the gadget for all Crash Bandicoot fans. Another carefully crafted collectable figure in full oversized XL glory. His hands hold a Nintendo Switch, Nintendo …

Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can. You know, hes spins a web any size, catches thieves just like flies. So look out, here comes the Spiderman. Any Spiderman lovers out there? Any of you guys into your (checks notes) .. err.. Marvel stuff? This is for you …

Getting your tablet to stand on its own normally requires some sort of folio type case. You know the sort – those ones that fold back onto themselves. However, they only hold your device at one angle, which typically isn’t “just right” to view content. Plus, if you …

A selfie stick. Yeah, yeah. Blah, blah. It’s a stick that you put your phone into so that you can take one of those “looking up and pouting”-style photos. Great. Blah, blah.. you can get them everywhere. Wait a minute. This one (from banggood for £14.79.) is surprisingly …

A couple of years ago I had the idea of filming my walk around this expansive event so that you guys could sort of see it from my perspective. The whole place is really rather large, and it takes a long time to get around. This year I’m …

If you write for a site like this, expect a lot of email. Going through the email from this morning I can see that the majority of it is from accessories manufacturers who are eager to let me know about their products. Bluetooth FM transmitters, car chargers, fast …

This thing is pretty straightforward really. It sticks onto the back of any tablet and gives you a kickstand. Not only that, but it’ll rotate around by 360 degrees so you can set it up just how you want. It sticks on using special microsuction technology. Sure, it …

Want a tablet stand that’s cheap and portable? How does £3 grab you? This one is made from strong cardboard and ideal for slipping into your case or bag. It’ll prop up your device and you can get a dozen of them for £16 – about the same …

We reviewed the stand / speaker combo that is the LugaLake Bluetooth speaker stand a couple of months ago. The price of this has just taken a significant tumble thanks to a special coupon code we have if you buy it through Amazon. At the checkout just enter …

Got an iPad? You do? What happens when you get a Facetime call? Do you prop it up somewhere only to have it slide down? Yeah. Me too. You can get a clever cover with an in-built stand, but if you want your iPad held securely and firmly …

This is a pretty decent idea if you think about it. Having a Bluetooth speaker is good, but you’ll find that your phone is usually placed on a worktop somewhere. Listening to podcasts, streaming media or internet radio is a little better if your phone is propped up, …

Here is a pretty neat idea for keeping your devices tidily stored and charged at the same time. Available from Amazon and various other stores (including Maplin etc), this is the Quirky Converge dock. It’s around £45 (although if you can get the Amazon free delivery you can …

Has it really been two years since we took a look at the original Standeazy ? Apparently it has. Luckily some things haven’t changed. The new version is still the size of a credit card and I’m still dashingly handsome, which is good. The older version of the …

The Microsoft stand this year took a very different appearance. It’s relatively small and carpeted, but has no logos, staff or products on display. The same can be said for the Android / Google stand, which is similarly sparse with a distinct lack of free drinks and snacks …

I love Kickstarter, it’s a great website. Since I backed Pebble almost a year ago I have been backing other projects all over the place, I just can’t control myself. Someone in the same position as me described the Pebble as a gateway drug that fueled their addiction …

Want to be eco-friendly? Try this Eco iP4 stand. It’s made from a simple piece of A4 card and supports your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S. You can also use the USB cable at the bottom too. Best yet, you don’t even need to have it delivered. Just …

We’re all about the cool and funky here at CoolSmartPhone.com. It’s true to say we love a bit of innovation and being on the leading edge of news. But we also love the art of the possible and have stumbled upon what could quite possibly be the sexiest, …

This week we’ve been given a number of iPad cases to test. This one seems to have stuck to the iPad the most so far – it’s the Pong, or just “Pong”. What’s special about it? Is it the fact that it’s presented in a posh white box? …

So, whilst I can’t review any Galaxy SIII accessories yet, I can at least review some Galaxy SII accessories instead. This is called the Samsung Galaxy S2 Sound Station Sound Horn, but I’m just going to call it the “Sound Horn” because it’s a lot better for my …

The Targus Click-In is a case which, from the front, resembles Apples leather smart cover but where it differs is that it also offers protection for the back of the device for the same price. I’ve been using it for over a month, here are my thoughts. The …

If you’re anything like me, sometimes you want somewhere to put your iPad when it doesn’t need to be in your hand. I’m always concerned if I lay it down somewhere that the back will get scratched or it’ll get knocked over. Both of those problems are solved …

So, we reviewed The Oona recently and filmed a hands-on video. However, we pretty much ruined the original video so I set about re-filming it today. The result is below but I wanted to see just how versatile this stand actually is. The Oona is a pretty unique …

Another stand for you now but this one is a bit different. It’s not just one stand, it’s many, many stands all in one. A multi-purpose stand that you can construct and adapt to your needs. Their Oona website has just one video to show it in action …

Stands. They’re always a touchy subject here at Coolsmartphone. There’s usually a couple of things you have to put up with when you’re looking for one. For a start there’s a selection of stands and base units which you may have to carefully select to suit your specific …

So Dan has got some great hands-on time over the last days and has uploaded some great pictures following the announcement. There’s also some great Lumia 900 shots too. We were both taking photos without realising it, so I’ve ended up with a number of additional photos which …

Microsoft don’t really have a booth if I’m honest. They don’t even have a stand. Sure, they’re displaying the latest phones running Windows Phone, plus some older ones too. I took a look at the Fujitsu IS12T yesterday, which is one of the 8 on show. This year …

We’ve seen a few phones with stands around the back. They’re on some of the larger devices and are usually designed to prop your phone up for prolonged video or film watching. What if you want to fit one on your existing phone though? Well, we got sent …
