I've been on the hunt for a decent phone stand for ages, and I have to say, this FLARX Phone Stand has been a total game-changer. Having my phone stand up on my desk instead of just lying flat is a huge convenience. Whether it's in the middle of the night when I wake up, or in the morning when my alarm goes off, it's so much easier to just glance at my phone and see what's going on. Plus, when I'm working on my computer or laptop, having my phone right next to me on my desk means I never miss any important notifications or calls.
We actually bought a wooden phone stand a few years ago, but it was a bit of a hassle to use because it only fit my phone if I took off the case. I mean, who wants to be constantly taking off and putting back on their phone case just to use a phone stand?
When we were shopping around for a new phone stand, we saw some plastic ones online that looked pretty flimsy, and it was hard to get a sense of the quality of the plastic just from looking at the pictures.
So, when we were at the Fix Price store the other day, we ended up choosing the FLARX Phone Stand, Art. YJ035240018 from the selection of phone stands they had on offer.
FLARX Phone Stand, Art. YJ035240018The phone stand cost us 199 rubles, and at the store, they only had black and white options available. But when I looked up the phone stand on the store's website later, I found out that it comes in five different colors.
We went with the white one to match our home decor, but if they had a lavender option, I would have definitely chosen that one just because it's my favorite color.

FLARX Phone Stand, Model YJ035240018The legs also come with some silicone grips, but they're a bit unevenly applied. My partner managed to nudge them into place, but I was tempted to take them off and reapply them myself. However, I didn't feel like messing around with it.
The silicone grips do tend to attract dust and dirt, but a damp cloth makes short work of cleaning them.

One thing that caught my attention is that only one of the supports covers the bottom of the phone's speaker, and it mutes its sound slightly, although you can still hear it pretty well if the phone is right next to it.

The only downside to this stand is that it can block the phone's speakers with its lower supports, so if you're on a call or listening to something on your phone, the sound comes out muffled. But apart from that, I'm completely happy with this stand.
We have a few different types of stands available in our stores, and in my opinion, this one is the best in terms of quality and looks. If they had more color options, I'd probably buy the lavender one too.
