Once the device is in place, users can smoothly tilt the smartphone to their preferred viewing angle, in either portrait or landscape orientation.
The weighted base always ensures stability, whether users are watching a movie during a flight, following a workout or yoga routine on YouTube, or keeping their phone propped up for recipes while cooking in the kitchen. The Curve Nano is perfect for those who want to watch shows, view content, make hands-free video calls and more from their smartphone. It can even make working from a device easy when paired with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Lightweight, compact, and made from durable, high-quality aluminium, the Curve Nano is ideal for anyone who is travelling around, working remotely, or going on holiday. Designed to be folded down completely flat, it fits comfortably in a bag or pocket and comes with a protective sleeve to keep it safe from scratches as well as protect other items within reach.

Designed with travel in mind, the ultra-compact and lightweight ButterFly takes up minimal space in a backpack, handbag or carryon.

More than just a charger, ButterFly morphs into a display stand that supports StandBy mode on iPhone or Nightstand mode on Apple Watch. When folded in half, the little aluminium disk can also serve as a hands-free viewing stand so users can prop their iPhone up and join a video meeting, stream shows, view notifications or FaceTime with their family.

If you are working from home or in off and indeed travelling having the right equipment is key and sitting at the right angle or having your laptop at the right angle is an ideal move and the Curve SE from Twelve South is one item you should check out, it comes in three parts and takes ten seconds to assemble, you can disassemble in the same time and it is held in with a clip each side.
There is rubber footing on the underside and on the laptop tray to stop anything from moving and once in position it is very hard to move it, the idea of the product here is its simplicity and angle you have your laptop at which is important and ideal for a better posture rather than being slouched over. The product also gives your laptop breathing space as opposed to being flat on a table or desk and in turn does more good for your product being used.
The Curve SE raises your laptop 6 inches (15cm) off the surface to keep your screen at eye level and help to reduce neck and shoulder strain as mentioned above and from me using a sit/stand desk at home which is adjustable I can already feel the benefits of using this.
With high quality materials being used again here which Twelve South are known for this is something you should look at for yourself or even a gift this Christmas. The Twelve South Curve SE desktop stand for laptops is for anyone really.
AN ECONOMICAL CURVE SOLUTION: Curve SE comes in 3 easy to assemble aluminum sections vs one solid piece of aluminum, and a new Silver color. This entry level model still has the same dimensions and basic benefits of our original Curve, and is a perfect way to test out the Curve Family! Once assembled, we do not recommend disassembly as it is meant to be a permanent connection.
NEW HEIGHTS- Curve SE raises your laptop 6 inches (15cm) off the surface to keep your screen at eye level and help to reduce neck and shoulder strain.
Multiple Uses – Pair with a full-size keyboard & mouse for a comfortable desktop setup or use with a monitor for dual screen functionality
Air Flow – Curve SE keeps 70% of the base exposed for optimal cooling
Protection – Full coverage anti-slip silicone pads and bent arms keep laptop in place and prevent scratches

The build quality is top notch here again and you would not expect anything less from the company, it looks great on any desk or bedside locker although it is on the higher end of pricing for similar products it is the better one and metter quality and I have tested several similar products that cost much less but they do not last and this one is built like a tank and will last.
