Your phone easily slips into the Spring Loaded Gripper. Rubber pads firmly hold the phone. You can rotate the phone from portrait to landscape orientation and adjust your viewing angle, and it will stay in place, allowing you to interact (press buttons, etc.). The base is weighted with a steel plate and the non-slip rubber feet, make it very stable. Your phone stays at the perfect angle, so you can instantly see an email, text, or an incoming call. It is ideal for video calls or watching your favorite videos.
