It seemed frivolous, back in December, when I was shopping for a smartphone cradle for hands-free video chats.<\/p>\n

But in our current stay-at-home reality \u2014 when most of our social, professional, spiritual and home exercise lives rely on Zoom and FaceTime and the like \u2014 it\u2019s all but essential.<\/p>\n

Back then, I was looking for a stand for my dad to use during our regular FaceTime hangouts (during which, generally, my wife and I chase our daughter around with our phone and dad watches the action from home back east).<\/p>\n

After much research, I settled on the Nulaxy T Stand, which is affordable ($12 or so at most online retailers) and has all the features I wanted: it works for iPhone, Android and any smartphone between 4 and 8 inches, can work in portrait or landscape mode, it\u2019s easily adjustable for height and angle, it has a projective silicone pad (so it won\u2019t scratch up your device or table and won\u2019t break anything if, say, your 2-year-old throws it across the room).<\/p>\n
