The hook can be used to anchor it to a surface—like a bed railing, a table edge, or even a car seat. Some even wrap the ends with rubber bands or tape for extra grip.
In a world filled with expensive phone stands, India’s desi creativity shines once again—this time with a common household item: the humble cloth hanger.

It's affordable, functional, and takes less than five minutes to assemble.

Take any standard wire hanger (plastic ones work too) and gently bend it into a triangular or "U" shape, allowing your phone to rest securely. The hook can be used to anchor it to a surface—like a bed railing, a table edge, or even a car seat. Some even wrap the ends with rubber bands or tape for extra grip.
