So, I’ve been looking for a portable kickstand for my 11 pro Max but most I have found are too bulky, cheap n nasty, or require you to them to your case and as I have a Mous limitless 3.0, it’s bulky enough already thank you very much.

Then it struck me that I have a magnetic case so why not just use magnets? So, here is my (patent pending ;) ) magnetic adjustable kick stand for cases with metal plates in them like the limitless.

I use 2 10x30mm and 2 10x10mm magnets with a strength of 4.9kg and 4.2kg respectively. Sounds a lot I know but when attaching to such a small surface area they’re only just strong enough. Originally I thought they would be strong enough to work as one stick and I could adjust the length to set the angle but it needs 2 sticks to hold the weight of the phone, either together or apart. Still, it works really well and the length can still be adjusted if necessary. The magnets are easy to (de)attach and store in your pocket (not in the same pocket as the phone or your wallet obviously).

I got mine from here;https://supermagneter.no/magneter/s...t_order=filter_diameter&product_list_dir=desc
