In theory this is great but in practice I just don't get good results. I can't seem to get it to stick securely to many surfaces, even my granite countertop which would normally hold any suction cup securely. And the phone makes it heavy on top, so if I force it to stick, the whole thing just wants to fall off. You can get the phone to stay upright if you set it up as a flat triangular shape, but that takes up most of the height so isn't that useful. It's useful as a selfie stick and I really like the remote control, it pairs very quickly with my phone, works like a charm and is very useful when taking pictures of my dog who hates it when I hold the camera . or the phone showed him the way. Other than that, he doesn't really realize that the phone's camera is pointed at him. The clip that holds your phone seems secure enough but they need to improve the bumpers, one was missing entirely, one was stuck to the bubble wrap it came in and I was able to reattach it but I'm concerned about the one Lack of the other and nowhere was neither in the bag nor in the box. We spend too much money on scratched phones! Either way, it needs improvement, but it could potentially be a useful toy for your phone.
