Our verdict
Tenikle is one of those gadgets that quietly becomes your favorite once it's in the bag. Bend it, wrap it, suction it — it turns any spot into a hands-free mount, which is exactly what a phone stand should do but almost never can.
The short version
A normal phone stand only works on a flat table. Tenikle is the opposite of that — a flexible, octopus-tentacle-shaped mount lined with suction cups that you can bend, wrap around a railing, or stick to any smooth surface to hold your phone or camera hands-free. It's the kind of gadget you don't think you need until you use it once.

Frequently asked questions
What can it hold?
Phones, action cameras and small tablets. The flexible arms and suction cups let you mount them in spots a normal stand can't reach.
What surfaces does the suction work on?
Smooth, clean surfaces like glass, mirrors, tile and finished desks work best. On rough surfaces, use the wrap-around grip instead.
Will it fit my phone?
It's designed to hold most standard smartphones, with or without a case.
Is it durable?
The arms are built to bend and re-bend repeatedly, and it folds down small for travel.
