If you are an avid traveler, you’re constantly looking for items to make your trips easier. After all, being on a plane confines you to a small space for sometimes hours on end. During your flight, chances are you have something to keep you entertained: a book; your phone; or a small tablet. Many of you even work on the flight during business trips so you’re more than prepared to deliver during your post-flight meeting. Even off the plane in the nicest of hotels, you’re not at home and still missing the small comforts you take for granted. What you’re looking for are items that boast value, functionality, and style. Despite its small size, the Bendyman phone stand and book light from Walter + Ray is one of those small items that makes a big difference.

We Love Our Devices
We live in a connected world; many of us rely on our electronic devices for work, play, and everyday tasks. Especially in 2020 during a pandemic, your devices have kept you connected to colleagues, family, and friends. Instead of in-person meetings, many of you rely on distance communications to keep in contact. Companies and families create meetings online as opposed to in-person to stay safe and connect.
Your phone or tablet doubles as a video player, game console, and music player. It’s how many of you get the news, stay in-the-know, and even shop. Few of you can imagine what your life would be like without your favorite device because it is the key to staying connected in today’s world.
Compact and Ready
Coming in at only 6-inches tall and less than one-quarter inch thick, this guy is your best friend on flights, in your hotel, and, yes, even at home! He boasts a flexible wire skeleton that allows you to bend him in nearly any way imaginable. His rubberized body provides a no-slip surface for holding your device. This small travel buddy easily holds your phone or small tablet in place while you’re meeting – yes, you can be completely hands-free even away from home!
Multi-Functional and Ingenious
Not only is he a phone stand; he boasts numerous tricks up his sleeve to keep your flight — and life — less frustrating. Low light on a plane is something you’re familiar with if you’ve ever been on a several-hours-long flight. It can be difficult to find what you’re looking for without disturbing your neighbors (you don’t want to be that guy who turns the overhead light on all the time looking for his snacks). This small phone stand boasts flashlights for eyes, allowing you to have the right amount of light to read, look for your snack bag, or untangle your earbuds!
Because his body bends however you’d like, he’s also a useful hook. Hang him off the seatback pocket to hold your snack bag — don’t judge if you’re not one to eat snacks on a plane, some of us get hangry! He can also hold your earbuds without your cords tangling up.
Use the Bendyman Anywhere
At home or in the hotel, you can set him on your nightstand to hold your tablet for a late-night movie or habitual scrolling. If you cook, he’s your best friend in the kitchen as he holds your phone so you don’t have to mess with getting flour or oil on your screen while reading a new recipe. If you’re sick of long charging cords, bundle them up and wrap his body around them for a no-slip cord organizer.
The Bendyman is one of those items that seems so insignificant upon first look but proves to be one of your most functional accessories for everyday life. He’s small enough to slip in the pocket of your pants or a purse. Who knew your new best friend would come in such a small package?
