I chat with my bestie online every day, and we always have fresh jokes to share. Recently, she got a new phone and was really stressed out trying to find a decent phone case.
Sorry, but after seeing the “seller show vs. buyer show” pictures, I just couldn’t hold back my laughter and ended up laughing like a pig.
Don’t underestimate these phone accessories. Whether it’s a phone case, a lanyard, or a cushioned stand, finding the perfect one is not easy. If you often shop online, you’ll notice that for the same design, there are N different prices from N sellers. And it’s not always true that a higher price means better quality, or that a lower price means poor quality.
The difference in quality depends partly on the seller’s integrity and partly on your own experience. If you buy something that fits well, great! But if it doesn’t, dealing with returns is not only a hassle but also affects your mood.
I think since we use our phones every day, having good-quality accessories can make a big difference, like adding wings to a tiger. (Oops, that rhymed!)
So, here are some phone accessory shops I recommend. I can’t say they’re the best, but at least they won’t have the huge gap you see in seller vs. buyer shows. I think they’re all pretty good.
Feel free to check them out if you need something. The shop names are up to you to find—I’m just sharing without any ads.
Let’s get started!
For phone magnet enthusiasts:
Magnetic Phone Case – I’ve bought plenty of phone cases, ranging from the cheap six-dollar ones to the more expensive sixty-dollar ones. I don’t change them every day, just like with clothes and bags. Sometimes a new combination can really lift my spirits. After trying many, I’ve settled on this thin magnetic case. Since Huawei phones don’t come with magnetic functions, a magnetic case makes things much more convenient.
This magnetic case is the result of comparing many options. The first thing I like is that it’s very thin. I use the Pura70 Pro, which is not light to begin with (the Mate series is heavy). Adding a lightweight case doesn’t make it feel even heavier, which is great! Once you get used to a thin case, it’s hard to go back to a thick one.
Secondly, the magnetic ring has good suction. It works well with various magnetic stands or cushions, keeping the phone stable. I chose the “matte white” version, which has some sporadic colorful speckles, making it more unique than a plain white case. The case has a “hard shell” feel, but with a thin case, you have to give up some durability against drops. Just be careful with it.
There’s a minor drawback: the side buttons are not well wrapped, with noticeable gaps. But since it doesn’t affect usage and is generally good, I decided to keep it. I’ve been using it for half a month now, and the quality is fine. The main selling point is the magnetism, which is really convenient!

Ulanzi Carabiner Magnetic Phone Stand – I don’t think there’s a “tech person” who doesn’t know the Ulanzi brand. They mainly make digital accessories, and while they’re not cheap, the design and quality are really good.
Firstly, the stand is very lightweight. When attached to the back of the phone, it can be used as a “handheld shooting stand.” The magnetism is strong, so whether you’re filming people, scenery, flowers, or vlogs, the camera won’t shake easily.
It can also be used as a desktop stand for watching videos, which is super enjoyable! The viewing angle of the phone can be adjusted forward and backward, and the unique “triangular leg” design makes it easy to unfold or fold, without taking up much space. It sits very steadily on the table!
I even use this stand to prop up my phone and type on the screen, so I don’t have to constantly look down at the phone, which is better for my neck.
The whole folding stand is quite ingenious. Keep your eyes wide open and don’t blink!
It comes with a “magnetic sticker ring.” If you don’t have a magnetic phone case, that’s not a problem. Just stick this ring on any phone case.
But the most amazing part is that the magnetic ring is designed as a carabiner!
It can be hung on any bag! Ready to go? Whenever you need the stand, it’s always there! Hehe, always there~
By the way, my action camera tripod is also from Ulanzi, and it’s been five years! Friends! These days, if it doesn’t break, I won’t replace it!
This year, it definitely deserves to be in the top three “most worth it” accessories! However, to increase stability, the damping force of its components is relatively high. So, when unfolding the stand, it’s not as smooth as silk; you need to use a bit of skill.

UFO Magsafe Double-sided Foldable Magnetic Ring – Yes, I also bought a magnetic ring. The difference between this and Ulanzi is that it’s double-sided magnetic.
What’s the benefit of double-sided magnetism? Ding-ding! It can stick to any ferromagnetic area.
For example, I often tidy up the kitchen while listening to podcasts. I stick my phone to the fridge, so I don’t have to worry about the screen getting splashed with water or oil, and I don’t have to worry about losing the phone after a busy round. Moreover, I don’t have to worry about the phone slipping off. The magnetism is very strong and stable! It takes a bit of effort to pull it off.
Secondly, the two rings can fold. Once folded, they immediately become a wristband stand.
During meals, it can be propped up on the table. Shows like “Miss Bu Xi Di” become instant meal companions!
However, its downside is also very obvious. Although the volume looks small after folding, the overall weight is not light! In comparison, Ulanzi is really too light!
🛒 Shop Name: UFO Digital Enterprise Store. I’ve also browsed quite a few buyer reviews for this one. Everyone says that its magnetism is not as poor as other brands that sell for ten to twenty dollars. The magnetism is indeed strong, but this type of stand is not light either. Since everyone’s tolerance for weight is different, if you’re interested, you can try it out and see for yourself.
Non-magnetic Users Have Choices Too
Walnut Wooden Phone and Tablet Rotating Stand – There’s not much to say, aesthetes can buy with confidence. It’s really just for the look! Hahaha!
The base is made of walnut wood. Yes, it’s just a small circle, but it’s still solid wood, which drives the price up. The craftsmanship, the metal feel, and the smoothness of the 720-degree rotating base are all quite good. Sometimes, the delicacy of small things depends on the details. However, I think this stand is not very practical for holding a pad. The stand is small and feels a bit top-heavy. Secondly, although the base rotates freely and the tilt angle can be adjusted forward and backward, the height of the stand cannot be adjusted, and the price is a bit high. These are two minor regrets.
🛒 Shop Name: TheTree Flagship Store. Sometimes, even in the same store, you have to pick and choose. Just like in a restaurant, not every dish is a signature one. Their thirty-dollar stand is not good.
Saijing Phone and Tablet Stand – Usually, at home, with a phone plus a pad, you need at least two phone stands.
I bought a folding and adjustable computer desk from Saijing three years ago. The feeling I had was that the materials were really solid! Their stands are the same. Although they don’t have a fancy appearance and are still just plastic boards, the texture is not rough, and the design is practical.
It has a flat and wide design. The stand can be folded for storage. The backplate for holding the phone is made of soft silicone, which is anti-slip. It fits well for both phones and pads in terms of length, width, and height. The downside is that the height cannot be adjusted.
🛒 Shop Name: Xgear Saijing Flagship Store. The quality and craftsmanship are not compromised just because the price is low. The product is really good!
FIKLIK Silicone Phone Lanyard – At first glance, this is just an ordinary phone lanyard. But actually……
Ladies and gentlemen, twist open the connector, and it becomes a charging cable! I mean, it’s like a hidden weapon, just amazing!
