Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there. Trying to juggle a latte, a briefcase, and a smartphone the size of a small tablet, only to have the latter stage a daring escape attempt from your butterfingers. It’s an undignified, screen-shattering moment that no self-respecting gent should ever have to endure. But fear not, for UAG has ridden to the rescue with a solution that’s both elegant and ridiculously practical: the UAG Magnetic Ring Stand.

This isn’t just a glorified pop-socket; it’s a minimalist marvel for the modern man. With a set of ultra-strong magnets, it snaps onto your MagSafe-compatible phone with a satisfying thud, instantly granting you the superhuman ability to text, scroll, and snap photos with just one hand. The 360-degree rotatable ring is the real hero here, a versatile little loop that doubles as a stand for hands-free video streaming (because who wants to hold their phone during a Netflix binge?) or as a perfect anchor for that all-important desktop Zoom call.

Crafted with durable all-metal hinges and a rather dapper hexagonal shape, this gadget is built to last and looks the part too. At just £39.95, it’s a small price to pay to avoid the embarrassment of a shattered screen and to finally regain control of your digital life. Go on, give your thumbs a break and your phone a fighting chance.
