Airplane Phone Holder, Flexible Cell Phone Holder, Folding Cellphone Stand for Desk, Bed, Office, Treadmill - Airplane Accessories Long Flight Travel - Plane Essentials (Original Green)

I am so glad that I bought this. Space on planes is difficult to come by, and I crochet & knit to fill time on flights. Add to it that while I am not considered medically obese, I still have a tummy which takes up space and makes the fold down trays uncomfortable. And a beyond-average, well-endowed chest which takes up far too much room.Which is where this handy item comes in! With this, I did not have to have my tray table down to work on my fiber arts. It was easy to bend into shape, hang in the holder and set my phablet (giant phone with a stylus) in place so I could read my pattern(s). Having it suspended gave me more room on the plane for my hands and arms to move. My family did not have to worry about my elbows jabbing into them at all.The Flight Flat seems very sturdy too. It didn't budge or sag at all on any of my flights, then bent back into shape easily (not perfectly, but close enough to make it fantastic for slipping into my project bag, day pack and purse).I did not have a reason to try my 16", drawing tablet on it, but I think this one would be a bit small for it. Smaller tablets and ipads I think would work well though.Aside from on planes, I found this was great for at hotels and when I went for solo meals to escape my family. Beds, tables, bedside tables. Pretty much anything I tried it on, the flight flap was stable.I think it works great and is worth the cost. This is definitely something I would recommend for people who travel a lot and will end up buying more if my family keeps traveling this much.

[5 month update]:Still going. I expected it to die by now to be honest, but its still good to go.Nothing exciting to report other than cleaning it with alcohol wipes or windex will always treat you better than most other cleaners.[2 month update]:20k or so miles later and I’m still loving the flap. Admittedly I’m excited about trying the new Airhook 2.0 - the Flap is still a Simple concept, gets no grief from the TSA, and disappears into my bag behind my notebook every time.Works great at holding up phones, battery packs and even headphones (not all at the same time).I can see why people have problems with “tearing” it, you just need to be careful and remember not to jam it if there isn’t enough clearance behind the tray. Also remember, the closer to the edge the more flex in the tray.Great product.[Original Review]:As an avid Airhook user I was looking for something a little slimmer to stick in my bag with more flexibility and the Flight Flap delivers. Its super light, holds up my phone, offers no TSA hassle, no stewardess grief, and it slides into my bag next to my notebook just fine.My primary usage for this while flying is with an iPhone in landscape mode, watching movies and connected to power, or in portrait mode with music playing (either of these is with bluetooth headphones). It supports both of these usage modes very well. The flap is nice because as it claims, you can build a tray-stand if your meal tray is down, or you can fold your tray up and (on some planes) tuck it behind. Out near the edge works better btw as the flex in the meal tray helps. For me, I have found the "magazine pocket" to be the best spot for me. Stick 1/2 of it down behind the magazines and bend the other half around like a tray and voila. If you have a first class seat this usually means you can use your meal tray and still watch your device.I have not tried it with an iPad so I cannot speak to that, and I should also point out that your phone is only resting on this. Unlike the Airhook or Joby products there is no 'grip' holding the device in place so it is possible that it could bounce off if you have a lot of turbulence or you don't leave a big enough lip when you bend it.I have not had issues with it getting ripped as others have reported but I have not used it in tight clearance spaces that much yet either. Will update this review accordingly if my experience changes. As of now, I plan to get a second one to put in my partners travel bag as well.Thanks for reading my review and if there's any questions or more details you'd like to see here let me know.-Chris

Worked well even for my iPad Air in a rugged case. It worked well on the tabletop, did not work well when I tried to attach it to the back of the chair, might need to purchase the bugger version for that purpose with the iPad. This is definitely one of those little devices that is work the money. Time will tell in terms of durability but after 2 flights, I like it and because it worked for my iPad Air I know the design will fit easily for my smart phones.

Works well to hold an iPhone 16 Pro in place during flight. Bent top to create flap that fit over seat-back screen (nothing worth watching on Delta’s inflight menu). Bent bottom to create tiny “shelf” which held my iPhone snugly. Was able to enjoy my downloaded movies.

I love this thing! I use it for my phone to read books and recipes, watch videos, etc., allowing my hands to be free for other purposes. I know a lot of people attach a large case with a stand to fold out to support their phone or attach an extra accessory to hold it up. But lots of those are big and bulky so you don't want to attach it all the time, but you need to carry it around so it's available when needed. This thing will lie down perfectly flat, so it's easy to bring with you. I first used it on an airplane, and I hung it off the seatback container holding the aircraft safety information, menus, etc., freeing up precious tray table space for my dinner and beverage. It was so great to be able to just fold it flat again and slip it into my bag. (The guy next to me had a clunky, hard plastic thing that wouldn't be nearly as easy to slip into a bag as mine was. Bet he was jealous!) I've used it on a table, on the arm of a chair, and hanging out of a kitchen cabinet to read a recipe- right at eye level. I got the gray tweed one, and it's attractive with decent quality fabric - not at all cheap looking or feeling. The metal in between the layers of fabric that allows you to shape and reshape it is easy to manipulate (I have arthritic hands, so that's important to me!). Of course, once you fold it, it never will lie quite as flat as the day you got it, but that's perfectly acceptable. If I had a tablet that I used regularly for similar purposes, I'd definitely get the bigger one as well. Get this thing, you won't regret it!

Ok, but really only worked on the tray. I tried to hook it on the back of the seat, but my phone wouldn’t stay on it. Worked well as a stand and I loved how easy it fit in my backpack.
