Smartphone Table Holder - Universal holder for your smartphone and tablet

Here on the page you will find our selection of Smartphone Table Holders, which allow you to keep your hands free for other things while watching videos on your smartphone or tablet.

The smartphone table holder is a smart tool for the desk or any other table, shelf, or dresser, that holds your smartphone for you, for example when you watch a video, have online meetings, or chat online with friends.

There are many models of smartphone table holders, but not all models have the same adjustment options, so it might be a good idea to explore the possibilities.

5 things you should know when looking at Smartphone Table Holders

When you look for a smartphone table holder, you will quickly find that there are many more options than just the small metal stand that holds the smartphone at a certain angle.

Below we have gathered some information about the many options you get with a smartphone table holder.

#1 - Smartphone table holder for tablet

When you now need to get a smartphone table holder that can hold your smartphone for you when you want to do something else with your hands while making calls or having an online meeting, you might consider whether you need a model that can also fit your tablet.

There are many models of smartphone table holders, and many of these can be adjusted so you can also use them for your tablet.

So if you prefer to use your tablet to watch videos rather than your smartphone, you can use your smartphone table holder for the tablet without having to make a lot of changes.

Models that can handle both your smartphone and tablet often have a clamp to hold the device, and this clamp can expand up to 12 inches, which means these models can hold most tablets.

The fact that the table holder can also be used for your tablet can make it easier for you to type on the tablet and use it for tasks and other things, as you have both hands free.

Most models for both smartphones and tablets are quite easy to move around, so you can easily take the smartphone table holder with you to work, school, or the summer house.

#2 - Mounting options for Smartphone Table Holder

There are several models of smartphone table holders that have different mounting options, where some are designed to stand on the table, shelf or windowsill, and others need to be clamped around the tabletop.

Basically, there are 3 different mounting options for mounting on the table:

• Table clamp
• Base/stand
• Suction cup

Table clamp

A smartphone table holder with a table clamp can either have a clamp in the strictest sense of the word, which clamps around the tabletop, or a clamp that screws onto the tabletop.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these; one advantage they have in common is that they are very easy to move around.

The disadvantage of the clamp is that there is typically a limitation on how thick a tabletop it can be clamped around; the screw clamp also has a limitation but can often be clamped onto thicker tabletops.

The disadvantage of a screw clamp is that you can easily tighten it too hard around the tabletop, which can leave unsightly marks on the table.

Base/stand

A smartphone table holder that stands on the table in a base often has a shape like a desk lamp, with a two-part arm that can be adjusted in both height and angle.

The stand model is perhaps the most well-known, where it most of all looks like a piece of metal bent at an angle standing on the table.

The stand model is effective but does not have many adjustment options; however, there are other stand models with different shapes and features.

The advantage of the model with a base is that it often has several adjustment options, both in height and in the angle the phone is held in. You should, however, be aware that not all models with bases offer the same features.

The disadvantage of a smartphone table holder with a base is that if the base is not large or heavy enough, it can tip over when placed in extreme positions.

The advantage of a stand is that it is stable, simple, and easy to place the phone in, but it has the disadvantage that models often lack adjustment options, especially in height.

Suction cup

Smartphone table holders with suction cups can be mounted on all smooth surfaces, with minimal risk of marks, but there are also both advantages and disadvantages here.

The advantage of a suction cup is that it can stick to all smooth surfaces, both vertical and horizontal.

This means you can mount the holder on a window, a mirror, or a smooth tabletop, making this mounting extremely flexible.

The disadvantage is that the risk of the suction cup releasing, if there is a small unevenness or it is not mounted correctly, is present.

Suction cups are not stronger than the surface they are attached to, and this places some demands on your attention and control to ensure it is firmly attached before you mount your smartphone in the holder.

Most models of smartphone table holders hold your smartphone firmly with a clamp, but some models do not hold the device firmly; here, the device just rests in the holder.

#3 - Size of Smartphone Table Holder

It may be a good idea to consider how much space your new smartphone holder should take up on the table and in height.

The models vary greatly in size and there is no doubt that models with a base often take up more space on the table than models with a table clamp.

If you often need to take your table holder with you, you might also consider how much space the holder takes up when you need to carry it in your bag, because even though smartphone table holders are often designed for a fixed location, it can sometimes be nice to take it with you.

Another thing you should be aware of in relation to the size of your new smartphone table holder is whether it is big enough to grip your smartphone or, if needed, your tablet.

Some holders are limited to a maximum size of, for example, 6 inches, and thus will not be able to grip your smartphone if the screen is larger than this.

Below you can see some examples of screen sizes for various smartphone models:

Screen sizes for tablets typically range from about 10” to 12.3”, depending on the model, so if you want to use the table holder for your tablet as well, you should ensure that this can also fit in the holder.

#4 - Smartphone Table Holder colors and materials

Smartphone table holders can be made of both plastic and metal, and therefore the table holders also come in many different colors.

Plastic has the advantage of often weighing less than metal, but it also has, on the downside, a little easier tendency to break.

Metal has the advantage of being strong and durable, but it is heavy to carry around if you need to take it on the go.

Plastic has the other advantage of coming in many colors, allowing you to choose a color that fits your style, whereas a metal stand is often limited to choosing between black, silver, or white.

#5 - Adjustable Smartphone Table Holder

Some models of smartphone table holders can be adjusted in many ways, and some models can rotate 360 degrees around themselves.

You can also find smartphone table holders that have a built-in motion sensor, which means your smartphone can follow your movements.

There are many different options with the various models, so you should consider what adjustment options or features you need in your smartphone table holder.
