Keyprop: Keychain Tripod (Grey)

I bought a Slingbox HD Pro many years ago - it was one of the best purchases I have every made....beginning with my iPhone 4, I started watching TV while eating lunch. Nothing earth-shattering, usually just CNN. Most of the restaurants I grab lunch in have TV screens mounted on the wall, but with all of the ambient noise it's usually pretty difficult to hear the audio. So I use my Bluetooth earpiece and my iPhone (now a 6S+) to watch my home cable TV from anywhere using my Slingbox.Now eating a grilled chicken sandwich or burger can be a messy experience; no one wants to get their phone covered with food grease, so when I moved from my iPhone 4 to my iPhone 5, I also purchased an external battery case to help extend the battery life. That case also had a flip-out built in kickstand which I used to prop up the phone for viewing. When I moved to my iPhone 6S+, I wanted a less bulky case, and the external battery wasn't necessary since the larger phone has better battery life. That's when I started looking for some type of portable stand solution.My first portable stand was a DIY creation I made out of an old gift card - a few cuts, and I was able to use it to prop up the iPhone, but it added bulk to my wallet, even when unfolded, and had a habit of falling out on to the floor. Next stop - Amazon, where I found the Keyprop. My keyring already is pretty large, so adding this one item didn't add any weight or perceptible bulk.I also have a case on my iPhone 6+ which covers some of the ports, making it somewhat awkward to use this item by inserting it into the headphone jack or lightning port, but as it turns out the space between the two protrusions meant to go into the ports is just the right size to grab the case with its clear plastic cover and hold it. I can also easily adjust the angle by shuffling some of my keys around on the table - it stays put and does not slide around.Pros:• Inexpensive• Durable• Not easily lost or forgotten on a keyring• Black color is a perfect match for my car keysCons:• Would be nice if it had another function, like a bottle opener, but I'm just greedy

It's ok at propping up my iPhone 6, because I have it in a case with a rubberized shell that is not slippery. And I still have to fiddle with it to get it to sit right and stay in place. I suspect it would not effectively hold up a 6+ (Plus) because of the phone being that much bigger. And if you do not put your phone in a case at all, and it has smooth corners/edges (like the iPhone 6 sans case), I don't think the Keyprop would work at all.I kept it, but I do wish it was more effective / stable. Why did I keep it, because it's better than nothing and it has the portability factor going for it. I've tried two, maybe three, smartphone 'prop up' / stand things over the years and they all required that I remember to bring them where with me. This thing always being on your keychain makes it so much more useful.So, once again, it's a very flawed product. But.... considering the limitations of making it like a key on your keychain (so that it adds very little to your keychain/pocket and you always have it handy).... it's worth the six dollars.

Very neat product! I love that it's on my work keys so when I punch out I can quickly begin watching my shows. I'd rate it a 5 but I really wish you didn't have to use the headphone jack. Bluetooth headphones are a must with it. I have an s10 plus and it's a little unstable. If you hit the back button with Netflix it falls over but all you have to do is hold the corner when hitting buttons on the left. Over all I am happy with this purchase! Someone said it seems flimsy. Not sure what gave them that idea. It seems like it will last a good long while.

I’ve got a case that is also a battery charger and the material would not adhere to an add on stick. So this is usable with or without the case. I noticed it’s not available to order more and hope it does for they will make good gifts.

You know the saying: "the best camera is the one that's with you?" - well, the same philosophy applies to iPhone stands. I've had my fair share of stands that I have both purchased and received for free - but the problem is, no matter how well designed they may be, I can never locate one when I actually need it! I still find myself propping my phone up against cups, rocks, books, or other make-shift solutions when out and about.That changed with the Keyprop. A colorful addition to my keychain, my phone can now be propped securely to take group photos and shake-free night shots, to watch videos, or to be used as a clock on my bedside table. It is lightweight, and the rubberized surface makes it work with even slippery surfaces - and because it's on my keychain, I always have it on me when I need it - which is the biggest benefit of all.

I used to have a phone with a kickstand and didn't realize how much I would miss it until I got a phone without one. After looking for cases with a kickstand, and not seeing any that I liked, I bought a little plastic stand, but quickly realized that I never had it with me when I wanted it. The keyprop has solved that problem for me, since it's always on my keychain. My only complaint is that it's a little wobbly at times Using it with an LG G3 with a Spigen Slim Armor case.

Brillant idea.. I wish I could give it 5 stars.. and I would if I didn't buy it, before I got my iPhone 6.. which I did so that I could take it on vacation... but iPhone 6 was to thin to be held up.. but I bet the person I gave it to would give it 5 stars.. I just did not give it 5 because I don't know if it worked or not.. you might ask why.. because I am pretty stupid and didn't think about 6 being thinner.

Clever design that works surprisingly well. I really wanted something that would work with my iPhone vertically and this does but only up-side-down, which is not a problem for use with the Kindle app, one of the few that will rotate 180 degrees. The cost of the device is a bit questionable... could not have cost more that 5 cents to make and a bit more to package. You are paying for a unique and inspired design.
