MagSafe Monday: LISEN phone holder is a must-have travel accessory for frequent fliers

I spent more time than I care to admit in airports this year, and I’ve found the LISEN Universal Flight Airplane Phone Holder Mount for MagSafe to be an exceptional iPhone accessory. It’s not designed to charge but to keep your iPhone secure and at the right level at all times.

From a design point of view, this phone holder is pocket-friendly and perfect for sliding into a carry-on, backpack, or even a large pocket without adding bulk. It’s very sturdy, though The high-quality aluminum construction ensures durability without sacrificing its lightweight nature.

Use cases

One of the standout use cases for this product is, of course, during flights. Air travel is often filled with minor annoyances, including limited tray table space and the challenge of comfortably holding your phone while trying to watch a movie or even get some work done. The LISEN phone holder addresses these issues with its adjustable angles and 360-degree rotation capabilities. You can attach it to the tray table, adjust the viewing angle, and enjoy hands-free phone use without having to prop it up or hold it awkwardly throughout the flight.

Additionally, the strong magnetic connection ensures that your phone stays securely attached even during slight turbulence or movement. The base grips the surface well without leaving marks, so there’s no worry about damaging airplane tray tables or other surfaces.

Beyond flying

While the primary use case for this product is flying, it’s versatile enough to be used in a wide variety of other situations. At home, it can function as a desktop phone holder, especially for remote workers who may need to reference their phones during video calls or virtual meetings. The adjustable angles allow it to double as a small stand for video streaming or FaceTime calls, reducing the need for propping your phone against various makeshift objects.

For content creators, the LISEN phone holder offers a portable way to film or photograph content on the go. Its stable base and adjustable angles make it an excellent tool for capturing steady shots while traveling, recording tutorials, or filming impromptu video content. Because it can attach to various surfaces like tables or luggage handles, it allows for unique angles and perspectives that you might not achieve with traditional tripod mounts.

Another use case I can see here is for cooking. You could clip the stand to your kitchen counter and keep your iPhone at the right height to follow along with a recipe or a cooking video.

Wrap up

This is a well-built, highly functional tool for anyone needing a reliable and versatile phone holder. Its design is thoughtfully optimized for frequent travelers but is equally useful for content creation in daily life. The magnetic solid grip, durable build, and compact foldable design make it a product that adds significant convenience to your tech accessories, especially if you’re on the go. It has certainly become an essential part of my tech travel kit.

You can buy the LISEN phone holder from Amazon or directly form LISEN.
