Foldable magnetic phone stand with strong hold: 비티냐

I received the 비티냐 360° Rotating MagSafe Stand to try. I had a phone slip and fall from a different magnetic stand before, so this time I paid especially close attention to how securely it held the phone and how easily it adjusted.

How strong was the magnet when I attached my phone?

The first thing that stood out was the magnetic hold. It is advertised as using N52-grade magnets, and even when I lightly brought my phone close, it snapped right on. It felt stronger than other stands I have used.

According to the product information, iPhone 12 models and later can be used with MagSafe without a separate metal ring. Android phones are used by attaching the metal ring sticker.

Can I change direction without moving the stand?

My favorite part was the rotating structure at the bottom. I could turn it in different directions without moving the stand itself. The ball-head design also made it easy to switch between portrait and landscape and adjust the tilt.

The stated adjustment range is 360° rotation and up to 270° of tilt. You can set different angles to suit where you are viewing from, whether you are watching a video at a desk or lying beside the bed.

Is it easy to fold up and put in a bag?

When folded, it looked to me about the size of half a smartphone. Its small size made it easy to put in a bag, and I thought it would be nice to take along when traveling or when propping up a phone at a café or library.

The height is adjustable too, so you can position the phone where you want it when viewing it on a table.

What was inconvenient when using it for the first time?

The stand arm was quite stiff at first. I liked that it held the angle I set well, but for the first few uses, it was a little inconvenient to change the angle with one hand. I gradually got used to it with continued use.

It is also worth keeping in mind that a thick case or one made of a non-magnetic material can weaken the magnetic hold. When attaching the metal ring, it is best to check that it is centered where it will not interfere with the camera.

What comes in the box, and where can I buy it?

The package includes the main stand, a round pad, and two metal rings. I also liked that it includes a wrench, so you can tighten it if it becomes loose during use.

Coupang was listed as the place to buy it. While using it, I liked the magnetic hold, rotating structure, and foldable shape, but the stiffness when first adjusting the angle was a downside.
