'You're Basic' Phone Grip
Yay for science puns! Maybe a stocking stuffer for a relative or a small holiday gift for the geeky co-worker in the office. The phone grip also acts as an expandable stand to watch videos, take group photos, FaceTime and Skype … all hands-free. The adhesive lets you remove and reposition on most devices and cases, according to the manufacturer.
