A device designed to affix a mobile telephone to a vertical surface. These implements offer a hands-free viewing solution in locations such as kitchens, workshops, or offices. They typically consist of a bracket or cradle that secures the phone and a mechanism for attaching the bracket to a wall. For example, a user might install this adjacent to a desk to readily view notifications during work.
The proliferation of these devices stems from the increasing reliance on mobile phones for tasks beyond communication, including navigation, entertainment, and remote work. Securing a phone in a stable, accessible position enhances convenience and reduces the risk of damage. Historically, makeshift solutions were employed, but the demand for specialized hardware has led to a wide array of commercially available options.
