You probably don\u2019t need an expert to tell you that craning your neck over your phone is bad for your posture. Our throbbing necks and shoulders speak for themselves. Daily exercises<\/a> and self-monitoring your slouching are important, yet I often long for more built-in support. So when a friend whipped out a hands-free phone holder<\/a> \u2014 in the form of a rubber gooseneck clamped onto the headboard of their couch \u2014 they had my attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spend so much time on phones and laptops and when we do, we\u2019re often looking down,\u201d Liza Egbogah<\/a>, a trained chiropractor, osteopath and myofascial release expert, previously told HuffPost<\/a>. A product that helps you look straight ahead while using your phone can therefore help prevent slouching, forward head posture and associated pain. She recommended this neck phone holder<\/a> in particular, and right now, it\u2019s 20% off. After using the tool in person, I now understand why reviewers are calling it \u201cwhat I\u2019ve been missing in my life<\/a>,\u201d \u201ca neck saver<\/a>\u201d and a \u201cthird hand<\/a>.\u201d It\u2019s an especially great option for long video calls, watching TV and reading.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Besides doing us a solid for our posture, the gooseneck holder did one for our hands. Instead of having to repeatedly put down and pick up their phone whenever they wanted to use it, the holder kept their phone in the ready position at face level, sparing their hands fatigue from the smartphone\u2019s weight.<\/p>\n

\u201c[T]his might seem like the ultimate lazy person contraption, but it really helps with ergonomics. You are not at a weird angle if you like to lay in bed on your phone,\u201d writes a reviewer named Deb<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother plus is I FaceTime my family often \u2015 this allows me to be hands free while I speak to them and I can adjust it to a more flattering angle (haha).\u201d <\/p>\n

And, as one reviewer<\/a> puts it, your hands can \u201cstay warm under the covers\u201d while you talk. \u201cSo much better than dropping my phone on my face in the night,\u201d adds a reviewer named Michelle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another benefit is the hands-free holder\u2019s portability. Its clamps hold your phone and to attach to a given surface, so you can move the gooseneck around your home<\/a> \u2014 from your bed\u2019s headboard to your desk, a side table and more. Plus, with a neck that stretches 33\u201d long, the accessory<\/a> can be positioned just how you like.<\/p>\n

Grab a hands-free gooseneck <\/a>of your own at Amazon<\/a> for 20% off \u2014 and read on for more reviewers\u2019 thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerfect for holding my phone up to read or watch videos in bed, and it has been a total game changer. The clamp that attaches to the furniture is really strong and holds tightly to my headboard without slipping around or damaging the wood.
The \u2018arm\u2019 is actually quite stiff, which takes a little effort to adjust, but that is honestly exactly what you want. Once you get it bent into the perfect angle, it stays completely put and doesn\u2019t slowly droop down under the weight of your phone. The clip holds my phone securely, making it super easy to just lay back and relax hands-free after a long day.\u201d \u2014 Sami \ud83d\uded2<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI bought this because I wanted a hands free way to watch shows and video chat from bed without holding my phone. It seemed like a simple solution to neck strain and awkward angles, so I gave this gooseneck mount a try.
Setup is straightforward. The clamp base adjusts to fit bed frames or nightstands up to about 2.36 inches wide and a silicone pad keeps surfaces from being scratched. The 85 centimeter bendable arm is long enough to position the phone overhead or within easy reach, and the whole unit holds its position once you set it. I really notice how the phone stays where I want it without needing constant readjustment.
What stood out is how stable it feels. The arm is solid thanks to the aluminum magnesium core, and the 360 degree rotation makes switching between portrait and landscape quick. It comfortably fits devices in the 4 to 7 inch range, so my phone fits snugly and stays secure.
One minor note is that the arm is not ultra flexible, so you do some planning to get the right angle, but that trade off gives it steadiness. Overall this feels reliable and I would rate it five stars.\u201d \u2014 dragon6473<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI clamped it on my nightstand to hold my phone at night. I put my phone in the holder & with headphones could watch anything I wanted. This way it didn\u2019t bother wife & she could sleep away. Yes,it was perfect. Thank You. \ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\ude0a\u201d \u2014 Ken Schoening<\/a><\/p>\n
