At first, I didn’t see how the Twelve South Curve Nano could help me. It’s a small foldable stand for your phone, but that’s it; on paper, something I thought would have a small niche need to want to use. However, as I’ve used it more, it’s become both a great item to have when travelling and a great throw-in for any day bag.
When travelling, the stand can be a great way to prop up your phone and then plug in a USB charger—making it a pseudo nightstand setup. And with the iPhone bedside feature, it’s nice to set up the phone like this on the go. At a workstation while travelling, I also like to keep my phone nearby to spot any essential notifications without having to pick it up.
Another great use to have it in your go to day and bag kit is that it is great for being able to take face time calls without holding your phone, and the stand also support the phone easily either vertical or horizontal so if you want to setup up and watch a YouTube horizontal video while out, or scroll vertical TikTok videos all more comfortably without having to hold the phone, the stand is excellent for all of this as well.

The stand is obvious competition, if we want to call it that, and they are going to be Pop Sockets, since anyone who has one of those attached to their phone at all times will feel like having this stand is kinda redundant, which could be true depending on the person. The stand is a bit more versatile and raises your phone higher off the ground than a pop socket does. However, some may prefer the ease of a pop socket. I kinda wish I could have the best of both worlds, but anyone who uses a lot of MagSafe or Qi accessories with this phone knows you can’t get away with a pop socket.
