If you find yourself constantly picking up your phone to check Slack or a text while working on computer, Japan-based Sanwa aims to help you with their 200-STN098SVN holder. The MagSafe mount attaches to your computer screen to allow the phone to function as an eye-level companion to your laptop or desktop computer.
Parallel Productivity
The primary goal of this holder is to stop the “work-interruption cycle.” By mounting your phone directly to the side of your laptop or monitor, you create a high-efficiency side-by-side setup.
- Visual Integration: Keep your phone’s separate apps – like messaging, stock trackers, or a video call – right next to your main work. You can monitor these streams with a simple glance rather than reaching for your desk.
- Complete Flexibility: You can keep your phone in portrait mode for scrolling feeds or flip it to landscape for watching content while you work on your computer.
- Custom Angles: With 270° of stepless adjustment, you can tilt your phone to match the exact angle of your laptop screen, eliminating glare and creating a unified visual field.
Universal Magnetic Attachment
Designed primarily for MagSafe-compatible iPhones, the mount allows for instant, one-handed attachment and removal. For Android users or those with older iPhones, Sanwa includes two metal rings in the box, ensuring almost any phone under 300g can join the setup.
A Portable Companion
This isn’t a bulky desktop stand you have to leave behind. It is a slim, folding accessory that stays on your laptop. At just 0.7cm thick when closed and weighing roughly 92g (including the base), it slides into your laptop bag without needing to be removed.
Pricing
The 200-STN098SVN is a web-exclusive available through Sanwa Direct in Japan for ¥2,480 (around $15 USD). There is no info on availability in other countries. Based on info we gathered, the company doesn’t ship internationally, but you can use some of the package-forwarding services (such as Tenso, Buyee, or Japan Rabbit) that gives you a local Japanese address to place your order, which they then ship internationally to you.
