| ★★★★★ | Superb Engineering! Has my Vote for Product of the Year. Ten Stars! |

Sure, it took them three redesigns to get it right. But they kept working until they had it – something their competitors failed to do. What makes me the expert? I have been using similar phone arms from others since early 2017. I have bought more than a dozen of these arms over the years, continually replacing them as they all eventually broke. The most fragile part was the phone clamp, which was poorly designed using thin plastic – it rarely lasted more than a few months. Alternative phone clamps were so stiff that my fingers would collapse while trying to insert the phone. I have an oversized Galaxy S9+.
Why would I continue to buy these? Because, while they are working, these phone arms are a really, really useful. My favorite use is for hands-free reading Kindle books, watching YouTube videos, etc. after I go to bed. Great way to distract me and shut my mind down so I fall asleep. Just be sure the book is not too exciting. Key accessory: try connecting a Bluetooth mouse to your phone and put it under the sheets. No longer do you need to touch the phone which will otherwise do some bouncing.
You still might ask what is so great about this arm compared to others? All of the material choices are heavy duty - there are NO thin and frail plastic pieces to break. The phone is easy to mount with a mild but firm spring, and it is a snap to position thanks to a ball-socket joint. The arm itself is stiff, but I think it is a perfect compromise of rigidity and flexibility.
My hats are off to the engineers who designed this. For me it is one of those small things in life that makes it all more fun. Thank you for a job well done! |

| ★★★★★ | Flexible and very versatile phone holder! |
| Color: Black | Verified Purchase |
| Just received this and so far am loving it! The neck is nice and stiff, but not so stiff that you can't move it, which is great so your phone doesn't slowly sag down and ruin an otherwise perfect video. This is absolutely FANTASTIC for recording piano videos! This was my intended use, but now that I have it, I can imagine a whole ton of uses for it: Photography, videography, long-exposure photos, time-lapse videos, watching videos without having to hold the device, reading sheet music or music lesson videos as you play your instrument... the list goes on and on. I'm extremely satisfied with this and can't wait to put it to use! I especially like that the ball socket joint that your device rests on makes it extremely easy for minor adjustments without having to twist and bend the entire gooseneck. The clamp has soft rubber so it doesn't damage your phone too. Honestly, this is one of the best things I've purchased on Amazon! Thanks to the creators for making such a great product!! |

| ★★★★★ | Perfect for teaching piano |
| Color: Black | Verified Purchase |
| As a children's piano teacher, it's taken me a while to find the perfect setup for virtual teaching. This stand for my phone is the best solution. The clamp is wide enough to fit on the left side of the piano's music stand, and the sturdy gooseneck can be pre-adjusted to sit at a comfortable angle in front of me so I can switch views between my face and the music. A second stand on the right gives a perfect view of my hands so I can demonstrate technique, and it only takes a moment to shift my phone from one stand to the other (they stay sturdily in place so I don't waste precious time adjusting the view). This setup is superior to a far-away computer camera--I've found that children need to see my face up close the way they would in in-person lessons. I'm so happy with this solution. I highly recommend it! |

| ★★★★★ | No More Hand And Arm Fatigue |
| Color: Gray | Verified Purchase |
| I've been seeing variations of this product on Amazon for a couple of years, and I must admit, the concept has had my curiosity peaked. However, because of less than stellar reviews I've been hesitant to make a purchase. I finally took the plunge on this most recent updated version from Lamicall and I couldn't be more satisfied. Many of the reviewers' complaints of other models have been "to short" or "product broke." Based on it's cost, this product has proven to be equitable for me. I've used it daily over this past month in many different positions, moving it from the kitchen, living room recliner, to the bedroom, and it's performed perfectly. Yes it's made of plastic - except for the adjustable tubing - but, in using common sense, you should realize to make major setup adjustments before anchoring it to something fixed. It will take some patience and strength to properly adjust the tubular arm to each particular application, and it can be removed and stored in seconds when you're entertaining. I've made the decision to buy a second one just so I don't have to keep moving it from room to room and readjusting. This particular model has proven to me that, even though it's primarily made of plastic, with reasonable care and expectations, it will last well throughout it's cost/benefit period for me before it needs replacing. |

| ★★★★★ | The perfect balance between sturdy and flexible. |
| Color: Black | Verified Purchase |
| I had a similar product to this one before, but it was magnetic. I just upgraded to an iPhone 11 and wanted to utilize the wireless charging, which does not allow you to have a case with metal in it, so I got this “grip version“ instead. This one is so much sturdier and easier to use than the one I got from the other company. Just keep in mind, that it is sturdy but flexible; meaning if you have it completely extended, your phone won’t droop… but I would say this product is good for FaceTime and watching videos, and you should probably keep web surfing to a minimum, because if you touch the phone while it’s on the mount (and again only when fully extended), it will slighty bounce up and down for a few seconds, but this is not the fault of the product. I think it’s the perfect balance of sturdiness and flexibility. If it was more flexible, I think your phone would droop, and if it was sturdier, it would be hard to move it around. You can blame physics for that one, not the product. I also saw some other reviews saying it wasn’t that easy to move to different locations. I completely disagree. It’s very easy to detach and reattach it somewhere else. Also, a grips the phone really well... It’s a great product and I am a very picky consumer. |

| ★★★★★ | Versatile |
| Color: Black | Verified Purchase |
| This product is very versatile and functional. It bends every direction you might want and seems to stay secure even when you twist it around. Overall I do like it but I'm using it mostly in my bedroom to use my phone at night and I have to say even thought it quite functional its not terribly attractive clamped to my night stand. It just looks kinda ugly if your going for a nicer look in your bedroom. The only other thing is my night stand doesn't have hardly any lip to clamp it to so I had to open the drawer of the stand and clamp it to the inside of of the the drawer and the top of the stand. Now the drawer has to always be open about 3 or 4 inches to allow for the clamp device. Its kinda big and clunky. Still deciding if the look is more important or the function. |

| ★★★★★ | The third arm I've always needed. |
| Color: Black | Verified Purchase |
| Very excited I am able to clip onto so much. Nice foam feet to grasp my counter and dresser. Stays in place just like I need it too. I'm going to use this to take videos for my social media platforms. Also great help while breastfeeding. |

| Color: Black | Verified Purchase |
Awesome!
(examples of uses & features’ benefits below)
✅Super easy to use and fast adjustment!
✅Extremely sturdy/well built...feels substantial and will hold even after heavy use and bending in many different ways!
〰️ I bought 3 of these for the hubs and my step kiddos for Christmas and will be buying one for myself (maybe a couple of them...lol). 〰️
✅We are finding WAY more uses for this than I expected.
✅ Great for when working in the garage
✅ Both kiddos have theirs clamped on their beds so they don’t have to strain their little necks while they are glued to their phones...all day...everyday 🤳🤦♀️🧘♀️.
✅ I’ve also used them in the kitchen for looking at recipes and watching shows while doing the dishes
✅They clamp on pretty well, too. It doesn’t matter if it is a metal or slick surface or an upholstered surface either, this thing isn’t slipping or going anywhere. |

| ★★★★★ | It's my favorite desk thing now!!! |
| Color: Black | Verified Purchase |
Very sturdy, yet flexible. I love, love, love it. It fits my Iphone 12 Pro with no issues at all. The stem is long enough to do whatever I need and to move it out of the say as well. It's awesome, I would buy another one.
***UPDATE***
It was awesome until it was not. I’ve had this for 7 months and it’s failed. The neck has snapped from the base and now just flops and won’t hold up at all. It’s useless. So disappointed because it’s become a desktop necessity. Will look for a different brand and keep trying to see if I can get one that lasts at least a year with mild desktop and bedside use. The neck has completely come out of the cover.
I would recommended getting this for only light use in one location without to much movement.
**UPDATE***
Company sent a replacement very quickly. The customer service was excellent and had no issues. I now have 3 of them in the house because they are so useful. |

| ★★★★★ | Good Quality Phone Holder! |
| Color: Gray | Verified Purchase |
| Bought this to replace another one I accidentally left behind at a family members house. This one is much sturdier and stiffer. The old one did the job, but this definitely higher quality and doesn't wobble as much as the old one did. Because it is a stiffer neck, it's a little more effort to position the neck just how you want it. But overall, it's still extremely easy to position and will fit any phone. Not big enough to fit a tablet, but definitely any phone. |
