Learn how to use the Peak Design Mobile Wallet Stand as a hands-free phone stand for video calls. Follow these simple steps for a stable, adjustable setup.
Quick answer
Use the Peak Design Mobile Wallet Stand as a compact, hands-free phone stand for video calls by folding the wallet into a tripod-like shape and attaching your phone magnetically.
Why the Mobile Wallet Stand works for video calls
The Mobile Wallet Stand is designed by the Peak Design softgoods team to consolidate your wallet and phone with magnets. Its clever folding design creates a stable base that holds your phone at a comfortable viewing angle, making it ideal for impromptu video calls without a dedicated tripod.
One trade-off: the stand works best on flat, non-slip surfaces. On a glossy desk, the phone's weight may cause slight sliding. Placing a small cloth or rubber mat underneath solves this without adding bulk.
How to set up your phone for video calls
- 1. Fold the wallet into stand mode: Unfold the Mobile Wallet completely, then fold the bottom flap inward to create a triangular stand. The magnet inside the flap will snap to the back of the wallet, locking the shape. Make sure the flap is fully seated against the magnet; a loose fold will make the stand unstable.
- 2. Attach your phone magnetically: Peel the adhesive metal plate from the wallet (if not already on your phone) and stick it to the back of your phone case. Then, place the phone against the front magnet of the wallet. The strong magnet holds it securely. If your phone case is thick or non-magnetic, the adhesive plate may not hold firmly. Use the included case-friendly plate for best results.
- 3. Adjust the viewing angle: Tilt the wallet stand forward or backward by changing the angle of the triangular fold. A steeper angle works for tabletop calls; a shallower angle is better for hands-free video recording. The stand is not infinitely adjustable—test the angle before your call to avoid mid-call adjustments.
- 4. Position the stand on a stable surface: Place the stand on a flat, dry surface. For extra stability on smooth desks, put a small rubber pad or sticky note under the wallet's bottom edge. Avoid using the stand on a slanted or uneven surface; it relies on friction and weight distribution.
- 5. Test your camera and microphone: Open your video call app and check that the camera is at eye level and the microphone is unobstructed. The wallet stand does not block the phone's bottom speaker or charging port. If the phone is too low, place the stand on a stack of books or a box to raise it. The wallet itself is not height-adjustable.
