It’s safe to say that social media has made us more conscious of how we take photos. Regardless of whether you snap selfies en masse, or take a photo here and there, it’s nice to find an affordable and convenient way to make first-person photoshoots easier, such as with a flexible phone holder that fits around your neck. Similar to selfie sticks, these super useful accessories help streamline your ability to snap photos of yourself and group shots. The difference of course is that you don’t need your hands when you have a neck holster. And they’re not just for selfies, the phone mounts can be used to record videos and watch content on your phone while in bed or kicking back on the couch. Offering up 360-degree rotation with hands-free access, the B-Land Lazy Neck Phone Holder is designed for iPhones ranging from 2.2” to 3.3” wide. It has a flexible goose arm stand that fits comfortably around your neck so that you can snap photos at various angles (you can place it on a solid surface as well). This sturdy but lightweight (1.2 pounds) stand is constructed with 70% aluminum magnesium alloy, and you can charge your phone while you use it.
