MOFT recently shipped me the crowdfuned X Invisible Foldaway Stand (starting at $17) for both phones and tablets. MOFT has been selling similar items for laptops for some time, so in spite of being a Kickstarter project, this is the real deal. So what is it? It's a compact stand that is so thin it could fit in an envelope, but it expands to support a three different angles and accommodates both portrait and landscape modes.

The MOFT X attaches to your tablet or phone using microsuction along the large surface area. It folds compactly, but when I tried it with my iPhone, the integrated metal interfered with Qi charging compatibility, so keep that in mind when deciding whether to purchse. Because of the metal, you can attach magnetic accessories like an Apple Pencil 2, etc. The phone version can hold credit cards and MOFT encourages you to attach it to the included clear adhesive patch rather than directly to an iPhone with a glass back. And that microsuction gripping material means you need to use a case with a straight, flat back.
Pros
- Microsuction pad with large surface area
- Versions for phones or tablets, with landscape or portrait support
- Folds compactly
- Magnetic capabilities for Apple Pencil, etc.
- iPhone version can hold credit cards
Cons
- Currently only sold via Kickstarter
- Requires case or phone with straight, flat back
- One color, dark gray, for now
- Metal interferes with Qi charging compatibility
Final Verdict
The MOFT X lets you easily add a stand to your tablet or phone without much bulk, as long as you don't use Qi charging for that device.
