amazon. Here it is
I travel a lot for work, and my switch is the best travel companion. If it had Netflix it would be perfect.
Pro tip, get yourself one of these for the plane. Holds the screen so you can play with the cons: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072MBPWMV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_AinWBbF6B99GA
I wish all the planes had some sort of latch/hatch for a phone / ipad.
I've seen this but I wouldn't trust it with an ipad . https://www.amazon.com/Flight-Flap-Tablet-Designed-Flight/dp/B072MBPWMV
Not OP, but I'm pretty sure it's this
Counterpoint.
Apple products are generally expensive and far less expensive windows options exist.
The issue you're facing is the demand that you utilize software only on an apple PC.
If I were you. I'd get one of these to hold my phone...

and then find a cheaper laptop option that you can use for the rest of your tasks. Buying a $1000 + laptop for a part time job seems silly.
Sure.
I think that's it.
1 - Tempered glass screen protector
2 - A protective case
3 - This metal stand. Looks better than the Hori stand, it is as portable as the Hori stand and is metal instead of plastic. It can hang on a sun visor in the front seat of a car and can be used for any tablet or phone.

Gooseneck holders or this one that I got:

You can legit wrap that around your neck and have it right in front of your face if you want. I personally use it for playing on the couch with a pro controller and I stick it between the armrest and cushion. It's great.
or this..
or something home made with the same idea.

I have the Surface, too and I miss the kickstand a lot. I have a 12.9" IPP so I just bought a large multi-angle holder. The larger one works nicely in bed for me.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014GCTGFM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But, since you have a smaller 10.5" you can probably get away with the smaller version:

Good looking out, but unfortunately not a deal. In fact, the prices on this item have gone up over the past few weeks. And it was just posted here a couple days ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitchDeals/comments/7aobii/amazon_79_off_cell_phone_tablet_video_game_stand/
From that thread:
Here's the same thing in black for 14 bucks: https://www.amazon.com/Foldable-Tecboss-Playstand-Universal-Nintendo/dp/B06XSZCTX3/
There are a bunch of these that are identical (oval back) or similar (teardrop back, slatted back), and they've almost all gone up in price the past couple weeks. Doboli was selling the same stand OP linked for $9.99 a month ago, Lobkin for $11.99.
-Here's the teardrop back for $12.59: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0746D3XDW/
-Here's the slatted back for $15: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0746D3XDW/ (Note that this one sits about a centimeter lower than the others)
-Here's an open-base model for $13 (this is my favorite): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0755D9LWG/
It is! I use a Pixel 2XL and I just love the always on display, so having a prop for the phone was totally necessary! I got it from Amazon, here
That actually looks really useful!

I use a pair of these: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Universal-Kickstand-Compatible-Cellphone/dp/B01LW6NN8T/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=spigen+kickstand&qid=1564599809&s=gateway&sr=8-3
You can always just get the case you like and add a thin kickstand like this.
Spigen U100 Universal Metal Kickstand US PATENT PENDING Magnetic Technology Phone Holder iPhone X / 8 / 8 plus / 7 Plus / Galaxy S9 plus / S9 / Note 8 / S8 & More and Case w/ Flat Surface - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW6NN8T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1sKZAbDNW5XQ1
If you want something better than just using the kickstand and maybe not quite as far as packing your own velcro I'd recommend this stand, it works incredibly for flights tucking into the tray for a better height and as a regular stand with a charger cable plugged in. You can really put it in weird places with the way the bars stay in whatever position you put them in.

I bought this tripod mount by Square Jellyfish. I had a Glif once and ultimately did not use it because it required taking my iPhone 4 out of the case, and it looked as if a good jostle could cause the iPhone to fall right out.
The mount I linked to above won't let go, and can hold any smartphone in both portrait and landscape orientations. If you don't already have a tripod to attach it to, Square Jellyfish also makes a ball swivel and mini-tripod, and you can buy all three items together here.
I like that these gifts are quality items and "general purpose", and by that I just mean that they are accessible to most people. Let's face it: those who want niche high end gear will be purchasing that themselves because they'll know exactly what they are looking for. This is the sort of stuff that almost anyone would be pleased with.
Here are a few random things off the top of my head I might add:
Mora Knife - $15.
Casio Pathfinder watch - $40
Light Tripod and phone mount $22 + $15 (added these because a lot of people use their phones as cameras out there
[Constellation Playing cards]( Night Sky Playing Cards https://www.amazon.com/dp/1591932424/) - $6
Anker 10,000 mah battery pack - $26
Chill-Its Cooling Towel - $8
Nite Ize S-Biner - $4
I make gaming videos and I usually use my Note 4 as a facecam. The recording quality is amazing especially with smooth recording turned on in video mode (now FHD 60p on Lollipop). For tripod use I use an attachment to be able to mount my phone (square jellyfish)
But here's a video you can use for reference:

This crazy awesome Star Wars shirt is $15.48.
I've also been eyeing this phone/tablet stand for my desk which is $9.99. Either or would be really cool.
Happy Halloween and thanks for the contest! :D
Speaking of stands, I picked up one of these for my nightstand. Leaves space for the charger and the fingerprint scanner is still easily accessible. I think I'll be grabbing another for my desk at work.
This is much better,I have one and love it
Spigen Style Ring Phone Grip https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0193VF09W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3nZJzbMXCT9FJ
Probably the best thing to buy is a tempered glass screen protector to make sure you get no scratches at all. I think that's the only must have thing.
Asides from that you can get a carrying case, stand like this or something like this and portable charger (if you're taking it on the go).
From reading a lot of experiences, even if you intend for it to be mainly docked some people found themselves gravitating towards handheld mode just because of how easy it is. So even if these aren't must buys for you it's something to keep in mind if you find yourself using handheld mode a lot.
Otherwise the only other thing you might get for couch co-op is a pro-controller. If you're going to be doing 2 player especially with mario kart, need a 2nd controller and you know a traditional controller never hurts when playing zelda!
Also definitely buy snipperclips, from personal experience that's just hours of fun to play especially with your SO.

Poetic user here. So far it's the best, and if not the ONLY full body drop protection case for the Axon 7. The raised edges work great as the Poetic case has a pretty big lip around the edges. I've had it for about 4+ months now and it has saved me from multiple drops even on my garage's concrete flooring. Phone stayed intact with little to no damage to the case either. Really surprised at that. I'm 6' 8" so the drops from my hoodie pockets can give you an estimated drop range. It's even dropped from my hands before due to clumsiness.
I ran the Poetic case with the screen protector for a few months until I got tired of all the dust and lint that collects underneath it due to the protector not being 100% flat against the screen. I removed the built in protector and bought some Spigen clear HD film screen protectors to use instead as it makes the screen more clear etc and I don't have to deal with that much debris flying under the screen protector. Because having to remove the front half of the case to clean the screen was a pain because it's sometimes difficult to remove it. Shouldn't complain because it just means it protects it more and won't fly off when dropped.
You can't go wrong with the Poetic case. It's the only full body drop protection case available that's made out of hardened TPU to withstand drops. I also bought one of these Universal Spigen Kickstand which I applied horizontally across the bottom of the case right above the raised edge where it says "Poetic" on the back. It's the best set up for me and don't plan on buying another case for the rest of this phones lifetime.
Here's some pics of what the kickstand looks like on the back (taken with grainy laptop webcam):

I just use a USB-C Dongle to run power from a battery pack in my pocket as well as hook up the usb receiver for the keyboard/touchpad combo. Termux on Android to ssh into whatever I need and use VIM to write. It's small and I can work in the back of a Lyft on the bus, or under a bridge if signal is good.
I got a gooseneck type holder. This one to be exact:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077VNY9QZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can shape it however you want and even wear it around your neck (if you're not worried about looking a little like a doofus). It's very sturdy from my experience.
Looks like the one I have too.
For a while I used Velcro, a board with a USB hub stuck to it and a bunch of recoiling USB cables but wasn't keen on the way the Velcro stuck to the phones. After a while some of the strips came unstuck leaving liquidy glue.
Now I use these stands. I haven't but I guess you could stick the stands together somehow, on a strip of wood or just give them their own shelf.
Please report back with how you get on.

Don't bother. The only "good" one from Incipio (OffGRID) can't be found as of 6 months ago. All old stock have sold out, even on eBay. There's MugenPower one but it's WAY overpriced at like $90 and weak battery.
Just use a battery pack. I have an AmazonBasic one, the "card size" one that charges up the phone like a champ, almost 40% per hour. And it's only $10. Add a folding stand and you're still ahead.

There was one on Kickstarter and that guy gave up after six months of trying to make them work. I'm still waiting for my refund... if he ever gives them out.

Now you’re ready to take on the world!
Here you go.
I use this one by Anker. Was recommended by many a fellow redditors on this subreddit. I think it's pretty solid, doesn't slide around, and the price is right.
Just this. Not a lot of room on my desk at work, this was on a killer sale and I really just wanted to be able to prop it up and read.
lamicall iPhone Stand. It's made for iPhones but it holds controllers snug
I have bought this cellphone stand twice because I found that I use it every day, multiple times a day, at both my office desk and night table.
It's proved immensely useful as I always know where my phone is while I'm working or when I wake up, and since I usually plug it in as I set it down, it'll always be fully charged.
I've been using this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Lamicall%C2%AE-S1-Aluminum-Universal-Desktop/dp/B014INJCT4
and running the cable to the bottom. Using the official cables with the larger plastic housing around the C connector can be a little tight on space if you run it from the back and bend up, but it works ok. I've been hoping that someone will make a nice 90 degree C connector cable.
Here it is in silver
Lamicall S1 Cell Phone Stand for iPhone X 8 7 Plus 6s other Smartphones - Silver https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B014INJCT4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_dlloDb7QB5X22
Couldn't find any right angle cables specific marked for fast charge, but as an alternative it sounds like this would be for a cable you leave as you desk(s). Perhaps get a simple stand like this one and use the cables you already have:
https://www.amazon.com/Cell-Phone-Stand-Lamicall-iPhone/dp/B014INJCT4
Sure! - Phone Stand
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014INJCT4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_5rKNAbFP4PAR9
Would be my guess from the info provided.
I just use a no cable stand. I use a bit of tape to hold the USB plug flush.
http://www.amazon.com/Cell-Phone-Stand-Lamicall-iPhone/dp/B014INJCT4
I looked at the wired docks being sold and wasn't impressed— they all use older/slower USB connections to power the USB-C connector. So I just went for a basic cradle:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014INJCT4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's not as convenient having the cord dangling, but if you tap on the screen it doesn't exert pressure on the USB port itself.
However the product I mentioned sits fairly low, so there's not enough clearance for the Google cable. It is fine for me because my desk has a raised mini platform, but just wanted to share to maybe give you ideas.
Oh man I didn't realize you were working without a tripod altogether. That must get pretty frustrating. You have some cheap options to help you out though! I use this attachment made by manfrotto and I threw it on a gorillapod for a pretty versatile phone tripod setup. Definitely worth the investment. They also sell a bundle of that clip with their own Pixi tripod which I also have. It's a well built little tripod, and very inexpensive at about 35 bucks for the bundle.
Hi! I just got one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Solid-Grip-Phone-Holder-Desk/dp/B01HDZJ1ZE?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
and use my phone!
Not OP but I own a nexus 6p and a few cases from spigen. Spigen makes decent cases, but after buying tons of cases from different manufactures I settled for this case made by Supcase and attached one of these neat little kickstands made by spigen. I found that the supcase is far more protective thanks to little shock absorbers built into the corners of the case, there's also a nice grip on the sides that really helps make it easier to hold on to this enormous phone.
I couldn't find one, so I bought a Tudia case, and bought a Spigen kickstand and stuck it to the back: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Kickstand-Universal-Magnetic-Technology/dp/B01HP15P60
Ask, and you shall recieve!
Boom.
$10, you could probably bend the metal arms if the switch doesn't fit.
something a little wider
Ordered 2 of these since I wanted a phone mount anyway, and there's room on both sides of the wheel mounting plate. I thought maybe double sided padded tape with one spun backwards for the numpad?

And whether you decide on something that could be used horizontal or vertical (or both?), the charging cable (or port) should be at the back/bottom. Think it would look really goofy having a cable sticking up near the top.
And if it's easier, maybe design it to lay flat, but where people can glue it into a basic aftermarket stand in whichever orientation they prefer? Maybe something like one of these..

I have this for my phone, and it's 6$ with code 6VGBXP2D (courteous of Lifehacker/Gawker). I tested and it fits pretty well.
Got you friend !
Also, Spigen makes a stand alone kickstand that you can attach to almost any case
Spigen U100 Universal Kickstand... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW6NN8T?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Or you can get whatever case you want and buy the addon, spigen kickstand which just sticks on with 3M sticker. That's what I did works great.

Hi everyone, Ive been loving my ESR Kick stand phone case so so much on my Galaxy s10+. So When I got the Fold I really was missing the kick stand.. So at first I took the ESR Kick Stand out of the case and wanted to see if I can glue it to this case..
No deal way to big.. Then I'm like ok Ill just cut the ESR by about one fourth and then it will work.. And it did fit! However then it interfeard with the wireless charging.. So Back to the drawing board...
I found on Amazon..
Spigen U100 Universal Kickstand Compatible with Any Cellphone - Black (US Patent Pending) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LW6NN8T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_S1-PDb81MJDX7
I bought two and pasted them on!!
They worked.. I put one on top and one on bottom and now I can use the fold while its proped up by itself..
This of course isnt perfect as it's not the same hinge system as my Favorite ESR! You only get one position with this one.. I'm going to keep looking out for the ESR hinge as that is my favorite but this will atleast hold me over for a while..
What do you guys think?? Also if you have any better ideas please share them...
Thank You
Rene
NFC will work (samsung/android pay) But wireless charging will not.
The wireless charger needs more or less direct contact with the phone (even cases that are slightly too thick will mess with wireless charging)
If you're looking to use it as only a stand, One of these should work, if placed at the very bottom of the phone.

Sure thing! This is one I just bought for myself but I haven't put it on yet so I cant really vouch for it, but it seemed to have pretty good reviews
I currently write about 2000 words a day, when I'm in writing mode (I take time off to promote, though I tend to miss writing a lot during those times.) I used to write 500 words a day, then worked up to 1000, and then to 2000.
Secret is for me, pleasant environment, no distractions. I do not write at my desk. In good weather I go out on my porch and write. I do not write on a desktop or a laptop, I write on my phone or my kindle (generally the phone, but if the phone is not charged, my kindle has bluetooth and will run JotterPad). I do that so that I am not tempted to go on the Internet. (I hate browsing on a small screen, much prefer a full desktop with a fast desktop computer.
I write in two 1000 word segments, getting up between segments to stretch. It takes anywhere from an hour to two hours to write 1000 words, depending on whether it's an action scene (the fastest) or a sex scene (the slowest). Narrative goes fast, like action scenes.
When you sit for that long, you have to watch your posture. I have a gooseneck cell phone holder that holds the phone/kindle well up in the air, so I am able to sit up straight and not strain my eyes downward to see the screen.
I use Jotterpad to compose the text, which works with Dropbox to seamlessly transfer my files to my desktop computer, where i edit it with a full featured word processor. I edit each 2000 word segment each day so that when I finish I don't have a huge mass of words to deal with. Makes editing a lot easier.
Also, do stretching exercises for your back and your neck and shoulders if you start to experience pain. I got the goosneck phone holder after I developed a painful condition called "text neck" from staring down at my screen on a simple cell phone stand -- felt like a red-hot wire of pain running from my neck to my shoulder. Have not had it since. I started doing the back exercises after I had back spasms from sitting for so long. Have not had them since. The back spasms were particularly bad ... took me a week or two to get over it.
Watch your health out there, peeps. Don't learn the hard way, like I did.
I'm sorry if any of these ideas are stupid or inappropriate . I'm just gonna give you a bunch lol.
You can get them pretty cheap, and it'd let him play video games in bed. And he can play some relaxing ones like harvest moon, pokemon, or animal crossing.
Idk if he has the energy to do that though. Or if he likes video games. But emulated games on my phone have been a lifesaver for bordem and stuff.
Most people with chronic fatigue have trouble with sleep and some with anxiety.
I got my mom this for Christmas (she has chronic fatigue) She only was able to get 4 hours of sleep or something before (during the night-time) and would never feel rested. Now she sleeps alot better.
-Plants
Plants have shown to improve mood and stuff, so you could get him a low maintenance plant like a succulent. Idk if have the energy for it though...
-Instant pot
Can help him cook by himself? maybe? Again, idk what his energy level is... So idk if it'll be helpful.
-Vegtable chopper and storage thingy
if he can cook by himself, he won't have to tire himself out using a knife, and can store the veggies he easily preps for his meals.

-Googleplay/ Apple Store gift card
So he can purchase games, apps, and stuff.

-Mop slippers??
-Cool night light projector
I see some ones that project ocean waves, or stars.
That's all I can think of right now... I'll edit if I can think of anything else.
No. 1 also exists
Heh, It's definitely a struggle. I got one of these things and it's amazingly handy, You can put the phone literally anywhere. Wrap it to a bed post, set it on a table, even hang it on the shower curtain rod lol
So if you are able to get one I highly recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP29B2S/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdo_t1_DiSSBbWK99DMN
I bought this stand, and it’s fantastic for plane rides. There are grips on the bottom of the stand so it doesn’t move around on the tray table. It also raises the switch screen up so you’re not bending your neck so far down. Highly recommend.
Tecboss Stand
You're welcome.
Hope I didn't create too much inner conflict, heh. :D
If you were primarily buying it as a portable device, I think the lite has pros over the regular Switch, since the regular Switch does have that awkward tablet-like weight to it, unlike a DS, which you could hold in one hand. I think the normal Switch has terrible ergonomics as a handheld (too heavy; no grip on the joycons like you find on a dualshock or Switch Pro controller... I don't mean texture, just more plastic to grip onto). You can buy 3rd party joycons controllers like that, however.
I've not used the Lite, so I'm not sure what the weight difference is. A quick look turned up this:
>The Switch Lite measures 91.1mm x 208mm x 13.9mm and weighs 275g, compared to the 102mm x 239mm x 13.9mm dimensions and 297g weight of the original Switch. This means the device comes with a smaller LCD touch screen too, measuring just 5.5 inches but still providing 1280 x 720 pixels.
I mitigate weight by propping it up on a kickstand on a table or perhaps my lap (though I try to keep EMF emitters away from my lap).
Battery life is also a factor. I'm not sure if it has battery life than a normal Switch, though it may.
If you do buy a normal Switch and want to play portable, get the new update model that comes in a different box, since it has upgraded inner components that are more efficient, so you get better battery life.

I have this, and it is a very secure way to play in bed. It fits with the joycons off, and I have never had it fall into my face. I even have had a battery and Bluetooth transmitter attached and it still held strong.
I have fallen asleep with my Switch on the mount and had no issues. Also, when we first had our baby I would have her on my lap and play using this, though now she is too big and squirmy.
The only issue I have had is that my neck can hurt after extended use due to the way I lay on my pillow. It does apply pressure to your neck and collar bone to hold it up, but not so much as to cause any injury.
If he's having RFF then video games will be out of the question for at least a couple of weeks depending on his surgeon and physical therapist.
Board/card games could be fun. I remember missing interaction with friends while I was down.
Something I found really useful was a phone stand. I got this one specifically but there are plenty on amazon.
This is pretty much what you need based on what you described. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F8S18D5/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_TkuEDb68B32RB
I have something similar, seems to work well with my 11" and it can collapse to fit in your bag.
I have one exactly like that and it works fine with my 10.5. I also have this one that I prefer -
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F8S18D5/
I originally got it for my iPhone as a bedside stand that allows the charger to be plugged in but now I also use it for my iPad. It can be angled more readily as it doesn't have fixed stops like the other one, it can take the charge cord in portrait position, and for travel, it's lighter.
I've been meaning to invest in this one that I found..
I dunno, my phone is usually in my pocket so I much prefer the rear placement. The only time I could see someone using it on their desk is if they're at work (I personally never need my phone at work; I use Google Voice so my texts come in via Hangouts). And if you need it at work, you should just order yourself one of these stands. It'll look better and be easier to glance at your phone if you have an Active Display kinda notification system, too.
Thanks! Here's a link to the stand:

A combination of this, and this
I use this with my phone and a cheap tripod I got online.
I have this...

I use the Nite Ize QuikStand Mount and love it. It's best feature is that when folded it is the size of and fits in with your credit cards so you can always have it with you. It's very stable, has metal as well as plastic parts and can handle all sized of phones or tablets in either horizontal or vertical mode. They are also sold at REI stores. I use it with my Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit TPU Case.
I have one of the kickstand cases linked in this thread and don't like it so I never use it. The plastic is very hard and it's thick to accommodate the folding stand. They are cheap so you can try one but I didn't like the way it made the phone feel.
I personally prefer to use a separate stand, as that allows me to adjust the angle and switch between portrait & landscape as needed. Here's what I am using...

Never used either, so no clue how good they are.
Just get a phone stand. A lot of people use them for portable filming at competitions. It's an adjustable phone tripod: http://www.amazon.com/Octopus-Portable-adjustable-Cellphone-Bag-Red/dp/B007NFI656/ref=pd_rhf_sc_p_img_7
And at home, I just stuck an adjustable car window phone holder to my wall!
Also, this one works like a head-mount for go pro, but for phones: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Mount-Smartphone-Operable-Device/dp/B00J6KO9O8/ref=pd_rhf_sc_p_img_8
Assuming you live in the US, you can buy something like this.
Not the OP, but for the phone stand, pretty sure it's this:

It's labeled as a generic smartphone stand on Amazon Canada.

Here. Wasn't sure how I wasn't finding it at first. "Cell phone stands" on Amazon come up with a lot; I could have been accidentally searching in an incorrect department.
I don't use this for DJ sets but I've been using this at my desk job since February and I quite like it. Not quite sure if it'll do exactly what you want it to and it doesn't have a clamp but maybe it'll get you heading in the right direction...

Another option might be to pick up a camera tripod. They make a lot now that are quite cheap and might be better for what you're looking for that a simple stand. I bought this one some time back but I would NOT recommend it. It worked ok for awhile but eventually it basically stopped holding my phone up. Just sharing the link to give you an idea of what I'm referring to...
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007NFI656/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Get a standard camera suction mount with a 1/4" thread at the top. All camera gear can screw to this. Then you just need a 1/4" female threaded phone mount. Like this: Manfrotto Mount for Universal Cell Phone - Retail Packaging - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0169SORDW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IE1LybJVN2CQG

I own the GorillaPod SLR Zoom and can personally attest for it. Hasn't failed me yet and I certainly abuse it... in fact I used it to hide my GH5 in a tree in the woods to film myself proposing my
fiancé, it worked great!
The mount the tripod comes with should easily mount a GoPro as long as you have the cage it came with. Whenever I want to mount a cell phone to it, I simply screw on this universal Manfrotto cell phone mount. Works great.
I would go with the DSLR stabilizer. That's a lot more flexible, especially if you choose to upgrade your camera in the future. A cheap Manfrotto adapter will work for you. It goes up to 3.2" wide, and the iPhone 8 plus is less than that. It will hold it, as long as you don't have a case on your phone.
I carried my 6 Plus, 6S Plus, and now 7 Plus without a case. I was concerned about the slip factor and just generally being able to have a good grip. I found these ring grips by Spigen that I have been very pleased with on each phone. It gives you something else to hold on to and it also doubles as a kick stand. I've been very pleased.
I suggest getting a one of those rings you can adhere to the back of the phone.
Here is an example:
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Style-Holder-Phones-Tablets/dp/B0193VF09W/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=spigen+ring+holder&qid=1566145789&s=gateway&sprefix=spigen+ring&sr=8-4
This is the one I use. I've even moved it between devices when I got a new phone

I got the same (buy it on Amazon) and love it. Now for your kickstand needs, don't buy a case that has a kickstand.. get this instead, absolutely in love with mine and everyone I have recommended it to has fallen in love as well. Functions as more than just a kickstand:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0193VF09W/ref=sxts_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502191350&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65
Can never use a phone without one of these bad boys anymore.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HDZJ1ZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_DnYgAbCDKHM79
This one is great.
What your ig? I am @ryanreichceramics
What kind of clamp/tripod do you guys use to record yourself? my phone case's kickstand isn't good enough to work on its own.
Was looking at something like this, https://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Solid-Grip-Adjustable-Universal-Smartphone/dp/B01HDZJ1ZE/ref=sr_1_5
Looking for something like this that would work with the switch. I'd like to clip it onto my headboard and adjust it around so I can play in bed. Anybody know of one? I don't even know what these things are called so it's hard to search..
I use the DashPanel app, which runs as a server available on steam which you can then use as an overlay, or download a phone app to connect to the DashPanel running in steam and have the gauges on your phone. I use it with the phone and have one of these to keep it in place. Also like it because it lets you customize the panel like a real digital dash, but that might be a paid upgrade (worth it imo, it's like $5)
note: that specific arm isn't totally as stable as I thought it would be, as the weight of my phone kind of pulls it down, but that just ends up keeping it in place instead of wobbling around
iPhone 6S+
Case is clear to show off the rose gold phone.
I've added a metal disc that glues on the back to make using it in the car easy
Also added a Sprigan Kickstand to keep the phone upright easily for hands free reading / watching video.
Very happy with the phone, and my previous iPhones.
Ahh, I gotcha... I had pictured a clear tpu case...
I'm not much of a folio or flip case style user so I haven't tried any of that with a kickstand. If you can't find anything you could try a stick on stand like this-
Spigen U100 Universal Kickstand Compatible with Any Cellphone - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HP15P60/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_euWDDbGH8EMRY
Its sturdier that the one they build into their cases for some reason. Just make sure your case doesn't have a satin finish or it won't stick.
The kickstand you buy separate and attach to the case

I enjoy the Nintendo dock for my portable needs. I keep it in my go bag. At home when I'm not using the TV I have one of them fixed cell phone brackets (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01HPI5AM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tv8.BbJ7XJXKY ) gives it a little height and is a bit more stable.
Also of note because of the Nintendo stands size. It's amazing for laying in bed. Switch rests on the chest and it isn't to much, but gives you the 90 on the charging cable and keeps it from poking you.
Here ya go. Only thing I wish is that it was a bit taller. Even though I have an Anker cable and it's not going to break I can see stock wires breaking because of the bend it has to do at the bottom.
I bought a cell phone stand that doesn't:

Works just fine
I have this iPhone stand connected with a lightning cable, but I would get this one if I were to get it again because its a little bit higher and the lightning cable doesn't have to bend as much.
You will not find many docks for AW watches. I ended up getting an Apple Watch one that doesn't store the watch at an angle, and sticking my Huawei Watch charger on top with two sided tape.

There are also ones where you can run your cord up through the bottom. I don't recommend them because to get the device to prop up, the cord has to be kept with close to zero slack making it very annoying to attach it:

I too like a kickstand so I also got one of the Spigen ones. I was prepared to glue it to the case, but that 3M-like adhesive that it comes with does the trick just fine. Here's the one I got, though there are other form factors from Spigen as well. Its magnetic closure is slick. Protrudes from the case a bit, but for me that's a non-issue: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Universal-Kickstand-Compatible-Cellphone/dp/B01LW6NN8T/ref=sr_1_3?crid=QEGY2NT8TCOE&keywords=spigen+kickstand&qid=1562447511&s=electronics&sprefix=spigen+kick%2Celectronics%2C147&sr=1-3
I've combined a case like this and an adhesive kickstand like this.
Couple things--
Probably the only viable placement of the adhesive kickstand is below the camera and above the power button, like this.
This way, the added kickstand doesn't add any ADDITIONAL thickness to the case, since you can place it on the "recessed" part of the case design.
CAVEATS:
Due to our wide angle lens, you have to attach the kickstand sufficiently far below the camera area to make sure the wide angle lens doesn't pick it up on the edges of the photo. In turn, this forces you to place the kickstand basically hovering over the top portion of the power button hole, a little bit. It doesn't completely block the power button (you can still press it, but with your finger tip point, not the "pads" of your fingers) so if you use the fingerprint sensor, then this probably will not work for you.
Also, due to the design of the kickstand (and the placement) it only works horizontally, if that matters to you.
Yes. I had a simple side table that we already had. I also got a gooseneck phone holder so I could watch videos handsfree and without craning my neck. It was this thing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1JXNTT

Just get a stand like that, and not worry about some keyboard with a built in stand.
I want to use this.

Will it work? And why did you end up not doing it and switching to tactical layout?
Step 1: Buy this on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/B-Land-Universal-Rotating-Multiple-Function/dp/B06XP29B2S
Step: 2 your done lol
> Same for the Switch in handheld mode, but what can you do :/
You could always go shameless and get something like https://www.amazon.com/B-Land-Universal-Rotating-Multiple-Function/dp/B06XP29B2S/ and use joycons disconnected.
Note: No idea if this item fits a switch and I thought this was just a joke meme until I found it on Amazon.
The Hori stand is okay, but I have this stand for my Switch and I like it much better. It is very adjustable, and it folds down into a very small size that fits in my Switch case with no issues. It is also built really nicely, is all metal, and has rubber to protect the device. It really is much better than the Hori.
This is only "on sale" because the original price is ridiculous. The one I have is exactly the same and cheaper.
I was looking into something like this for a good while, most everything I could find were fairly complex custom projects and most of them were way more bulky than anything I was looking to use.
Instead I picked up a small collapsible stand and then got a small lightweight flexible messenger bag to hold everything. This way I have my stuff, my bag can go solo or fit into another backpack or duffel bag, and I have a deployable workstation that I can set up and take down in about 15 seconds.
Random side note, I'm typing this on an Anne Pro right now and I wouldn't recommend trying to walk and carry this thing in one hand while typing on another. I assume that probably applies to all 60% boards aside from ultra lightweight or low profile ones. I just tried it for fun not even connected to a device and that shit is precarious.
I do like the Anne Pro very much but be aware that it may need a little attention to really shine. Slight stabilizer rattle is fairly common out of the box, for example. I took maybe two hours to put some foam inserts into the stabilizers and lube the stab bars and the board was immensely improved.
Also be aware that macro support does not work on the current firmware release for the Anne Pro. It is supposed to be fixed in the next update and there's also an open source firmware project running to address the issue if Obins never gets around to it.
If you're wondering about the stuff I used:

This is exactly why I bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Original-FLIGHT-Phone-Tablet-Holder/dp/B072MBPWMV
Or you can get one of these Flight Flap things so you don’t have to deal with a Pop Socket sometimes getting in the way
The inherent problem with ecommerce is that you can't see an item.
You can in a store. That's why Best But has become a showroom.
You can't buy clothes, shoes, phone case etc without seeing them in person and knowing how they fit. Verizon will let you try on a phone case. It should be no different with Amazon otherwise...there's no reason to shop there.
Further, I'm not sure Amazon really cares. I spend thousands (maybe over $10k) on Amazon a year. I have prime. Use Prime Now and will use grocery too.
Further, eBay is getting into the free return game because the know it makes people comfortable. I'm comfortable that if I buy something random like this that I can return it for free to a Kohl's, Amazon Locker, or via UPS: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072MBPWMV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_JI0bBb8706X73
If I can't do that, goodbye small sellers. No way I'm buying your random ass product without seeing it beforehand.
Zappos offered free VIP shipping both ways for life in 2003. There's a reason I've never bought shoes from anyone but Zappos since 2003.
The Amazon experience is perfect. They could charge me up to $200 for Prime for this continued ability to do this and I would happily pay. This is how shopping online should work and it's why Amazon destroyed everyone.
Like this?

I've been recording some hands with this. The base slides under the rail at every table I've ever played at and it has two hinges so you can get the angle perfect.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F8S18D5
Buy more than one. When people see yours at the table they will ask where you got it. Offer to sell it to them for $15 or $20. They will buy.
I ordered one of these, and i love it. Although it's not a good option for every game, if it requires the phone to be held. It's great for anything you can use a controller with, if you have one. I have a moga controller that i found on amazon for $25, and would suggest it highly. It has all the controls you can find on a ps4 controller, except for the center pad, and has a large enough battery that it can even charge your phone for several hours while playing.
The stand i linked can clamp to just about anything (mines mounted to my nightstand next to me currently) and it has soft pads within the clamps, so i feel safe enough clamping it to my glass desk. For $11, i found it to be a pretty good deal.
Hope these help, and are an option in your country!
Not sure if you use an iPhone but are you looking for something like this Lamicall Cell Phone Stand, Phone Dock:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HPI5AM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Jx4PBbV88VMN9
Also you could add a magnet to any phone and use this

lol, best description I could come up with because I couldn't find the link at the time. Here it is. It's great but might wobble a bit with the motion of the plane.

I would opt for the original, possibly, even if you don't intend to dock it. I often find myself with downtime at my desk, and instead of holding up the console itself, I love setting it on my Tecboss tablet holder and being able to lean back and have the controller detached for play.
