This adjustable bunny phone holder is extremely lightweight, yet it can hold my iPhone 13 Pro Max with a case on it. For extra security, you can place something nearby, e.g a moisturiser to  add weight on the base. It's so convenient and travel-friendly, and it comes in various colours. Whichever position it's holding my phone, whether vertical or horizontal, I can still use the back cameras for content creation if you may.

Have you sprinkled a generous amount of salt on your chopped mangoes and let them sit for like 2-5mins for it to penetrate into the mangoes until there is a bit of liquid? It's sensational. Anyways, I've been eating mangoes all the more lately
