Simple and very effective
I needed a simple desktop device that would enable my smart phone to be a) visible while moving around the office, b) a secure mounting when charging and synching and c) usable while handsfree. The Clingo Universal Podium Phone and Media Desk Stand provided all of this and much more. It is both simple and stylish, but most importantly it does exactly as it says on the tin - "Clingo holds your phone. It doesn't matter if it is a BlackBerry, iPhone, HTC, Samsung, or whatever. Whether in your car, at the office, at home or wherever - Clingo holds it". I totally recommend this device.

Great idea but inconvenient for me.
This desk stand is a great idea and does work. Unfortunatly I am regularly up and down from my desk and not safe for me to leave my phone unattended. This means having to regularly press the phone onto the pad. Not a problem when the phone has a flat back but my phone has slightly convex back so needs fair amount of pressure to make it stick securely. I still recomend this to anyone who is not constantly up and down from their desk.

Clingo phone stand
Excellent item - hold the Nokia N8 inside its leather holder allday without a problem - the office is nice and warm too
easliy removed
TIP - remember to replace the plastic cover to stop the dust settling during the night - it keeps the sticky pad sticky for longer

Ok stand
The stand is substantial and decent quality but does not hold a Nokia N8 very well. However the Nokia has a protruding camera lens and is quite heavy. For this phone it has to be mounted on more of an angle, which is relatively easy to achieve as you can tilt and rotate the mount. A flatter or lighter phone could probably be held more vertically.

Not quite perfect
Fine for my wife's iPhone4 but HTC Desire HD keeps falling of due to its curved back. Very heavy but well made.

Great product
This is the best UNIVERSAL desk stand for any mobile, even strong enough to support a 7 inch tablet! I would recommend it any time any day. Great product, use straight out of the box. Sturdy base, excellent sticking without any residue left, excellent swivel function.

First rate product
This surely is among the best accessory that I've bought for my iPhone along with the Bodyguardz body protector!! Works like a charm and allows you to put the iPhone on a wide range of angles for the right viewing position. Buy it and you won't regret this purchase! The metal base is very sturdy and shows off the iPhone without shame!! Pity the base doesn't come in different color...

Very good product
Really like this, does exactly what it says on the tin. Easy to use and maintain. Enables hands-free use of iPhone 4 (okay you still have to use a finger tip but at least you don't have to hold it). One small criticism is that when charging the weight of the charging line pulls the mount down slightly, but this is just me being ultra-fussy, not something that would have stopped me buying it had I now about it beforehand. Husband uses it with his iPhone 3G in his home office for work and loves it, able to be on calls and typing at same time. We both have covers on our phones and there is never any residue left behind. Stop thinking about it - buy it!

Works really well however it is quite large and heavy so not practical to carry it around. Maybe a good excuse to by two. One for home and one for the office.

Clingo Desk stand
Excellent bit of kit - I use it for my ipod touch in the office.Though the ipod has a curved back there is still sufficient cling to hold it in place.4 stars because maybe its £5 overpriced.

Excellent Tool
This unit is great. Perfectly weighted and super-sticky, it does (virtually) all I want. The ball joint between the head and the plinth is not as firm as i'd like and, since i'm using a legend, pushing the buttons can tend to move it (minus 1 star). Overall though, a great product.

If you could do with an extra hand!
This desk stand has probably been the best accessory I've bought to date. Solidly built and ingeniously designed to angle your device as you wish, it allows you to get the most out of your phone or media player while using you hands for other tasks. In addition, it also allows for easy accessible connection to charging and audio leads. Highly recommended!

Doesn't stick well to HTC Desire
I managed to get my phone to stick to the desk stand for almost an entire night before it fell off and after a couple of days, it was guaranteed to wake me up with a clatter after a couple of hours hanging on for deer life. If I remove the bracket to wash under water to bring back it's stickiness, I can normally manage an extra couple of hours sleep before the expected clatter of phone on bedside unit! Unfortunately, I haven't been around to test this until my 28 days were up otherwise it would have been returned for a refund. It has now been demoted into being used as a rather expensive fly catcher.

Thumbs Up
Was looking for a desk stand for my Desire and was not impressed with the docking stations as they only seemed to be supporting the phone by it's charging socket.
The metal base is heavy enough to support the phone even when I am typing away on it, and the cut-out in the stand is ideal for routing a sync/charge cable through.
As with other Clingo products that I have, it needs some pressure to keep the phone in place for a long period of time.

A Cool Bit of Kit
Ive had this only 2 weeks now, but I can say that it has become invaluable, in fact im thinking of buying another so I leave one at home next to my PC.
I may have to buy 2 more so I can stop my wife stealing it for her iPod!

Great accessory!
A surprise present for my boyfriend and his new iPhone - he loves it! the stand is practical for use in the office, it allows you to stick your iPhone on at any angle and adjust the positioning at will (either peel off and re-stick or pivot the pad). The main benefit is that you can check your phone with a glance and don't have to keep picking it up or shuffling it around your desk. It's simple and stylish and the green sticky pad adds an element of fun!.

Too Sticky!
Item definitely does what it says, but when I tried my Nokia X6 on it the back comes away and stays stuck to the stand.
MobileFun Reply:
We recommend a peeling motion to remove products from Clingo pads, rather than pulling the device straight off.

It works well a little to much on the back of the phone but with a silicon skin it just about holds and is easy to get off.

Clingo Universal Podium holder
The Podium arrived and was not usable. two mini parts of the 4-plastic gripclips arrived chipped off and thus, the concave gripclip has no firm hold on the hard plastic roundball that is part of the entire solid metal podium base. Very disappointed after a longer than normal waiting for this item.
I take no fault at MobileFun who has given very good assistance, esp. with Rob and Jessica who really are wonderful representing MobileFun.
I have now been advised to return by snail mail and to enclose copy of postage costs which I will dispatch under Registered mail. There is no stock at the moment but I will be having it again once new stock arrives.
But this Podium model looks good and will serve smartly on the desktop and is every bit worth the pound'!!! I recommend it and to the manufacturers, they should approach the manufacturers of Garmin or TomTom in China to emulate the ball & socket fittings, the ones of Clingo is too cheap a quality.

Stand Nokia N900
I bought this for my Nokia N900 - I was a bit worried that it wouldn't stay on because of the protruding camera shutter at the rear and the sheer weight of the phone. However, I'm very pleased with the stand - it's sturdy and the 'stickability' is great. It keeps the phone up at workable height on a desk - the integrated stand on the N900 is not up to much, as anyone who has one knows.

clingo universal stand
I have an HTC Desire mobile phone. When I pull it off the stand it starts to separate the case into two. I cannot risk breaking my phone.
MobileFun Reply:
The recommended method for removing phones from Clingo products is to peel, rather than pull. In future, be careful not to press the phone too hard onto the pad.

This is an excellent desk stand with an almost iMac stand style and using clingo's new product holds any phone easily and securely no matter how you handle it.
I bought this having already tried the car mount and have found both ideal. Having just had all my iPhone 3G/3GS accessories made redundant I have future-proofed at least two of them!

Clingo does what it says on the tin!
Delighted with the desk stand and car holder. Perfect for my iPhone. Unlike other holders it doesn't get in the way of other attachments or put the phone on silent like they do. Dropped Clingo on the first use but was able to wash off all the dirt under the tap in seconds. Confident enough to buy both again as gifts. The car holder attaches and detaches from the windscreen very easily. The desk stand allows me to watch YouTube clips horizontally with ease. Best buy for me for a long time.

Clingo universal podium
I bought this having previously bought the clingo windscreen mount, and have been totally amazed by both. I dont know what the sticky pad is made of, but it holds my Iphone perfectly, and can be manouvered to any angle and it just sticks!!....Absoloutely brilliant, it does exactly what it says on the tin....I would be happy to pay twice as much for this, its a very good quality product, and its simplicity is what makes it so appealing, that and the fact it actually works. Dont hesitate to buy this, it really is as good as it says.

neat gadget
This is great. Holds an HTC desire very firmly and allows use in portrait or landscape or any angle you require.
The base is heavy enough metal to allow the touchscreen to be used without the whole assembly moving around the desk.
Ordered Wednesday afternoon, arrived Friday morning.
Really pleased with this.

The sticky stuff is great leaving no residue.

Brilliant
I have to say I was slightly sceptical that this would work. It does and then some!
It sticks perfectly to my iPhone case so I don't have to remove it at all. In fact it is so tacky, I have cut the original protective strip - which covered the pad - and re applied some of this so only a small portion is exposed to grip the phone. Still grippy and less effort to pull the phone off.
Top quality product - heavy and well made. Looks great on the desk.
