if you occasionally need a stand for your iPhone but don’t want the bulk of a permanent attachment, this magnetic phone grip offers an on-demand solution that’s both convenient and stylish. This week, I am looking at the Anker 610 MagGo Phone Grip.

Use cases

At first glance, the Anker 610 MagGo might look its only useful for a few things, but it goes deeper than a simple kickstand. Here are five ways to use it that make it worth keeping in your laptop bag.

1. Secure grip during daily activities

Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or chatting via iMessage while walking, the Anker 610 Magnetic Phone Grip provides a secure hold on your iPhone. Its strong magnetic attachment ensures your device stays firmly in your hand, reducing the risk of accidental drops in crowded or active environments. I could especially see it handy at amusement parks

2. On-Demand Kickstand for movies/TV

For those moments when you want to watch a TV show or a movie, the Anker 610 MagGo transforms into a convenient kickstand. Its adjustable angle allows you to find the perfect viewing position, making it ideal for streaming movies, watching a home repair video on Youtube, etc.

3. Enhanced camera usage

The ring holder offers added stability when taking photos or recording videos. It allows for steadier shots and smoother panning, which is particularly useful for capturing family memories

4. Extended reading

If you frequently use your iPhone for reading books or long web articles, it can help prop it up for a better reading angle.

5. Presenter notes

If you need to display speaker notes during a meeting or presentation, the Anker 610 MagGo allows you to prop up your iPhone in seconds. It’s a handy tool for professionals who rely on their iPhone for their presentation notes.

Wrap up on the Anker 610 MagGo

Since it’s under $15, it’s an easy add on to your iPhone. If your case doesn’t have a stand now, it’s a simple way to add one only when you want it. I only use a single laptop screen at work, and I’ve found it to be really useful to prop up my speaker notes so I can focus on looking at the camera and quickly glance down.

It comes in grey, white, purple, and blue, so you can find the color that works with your style! It can be purchased from Amazon.
