Product Review: The Zhip Cell Phone Accesory- MUST have this Season!





This is one of those items that you may not think you need, until you get it, and then you wonder WHY you didn't think of it, because everyone needs one!




zhip pix 1The Zhip is a cell phone holder that allows you to use your phone HANDS free while watching videos, listening to music or watching a movie! 


It is really unique in that is has a easel stand for use on solid objects, AND a self-contained Zhip line (aha, the name makes sense!), to use it on unstable surfaces, like the back of a car seat or a treadmill! Yet it fits in the palm of your hand and fits ANY cell phone, including the iPhone!


zhip pix 2It is made of 100% Polycarbonate material, which is the same stuff used to make bullet proof glass, so yes, you CAN throw it across the room and it won't break (not really recommended, but you COULD, and it does happen in the real life!). The top and bottom retractable 'holders' expand to fit any handheld mobile device and their "scratch-free" grip handles have protective padding to protect your device. I have a HTC Inspire, which is on the larger side, and as you can see, it holds very easily. When you have on the easel back, you don't have to use the top holder, making it easy to grab and go.

The retractable zip cord is 3 foot long, so you have plenty of cord to wrap it around say a baby stroller tray, with no problem. I love how the zip cord is self contained, so you just pull it out, wrap around where you need it and slide it back into the top to secure and keep it where you want it! Most important to it's use in non-stationary situations, there is a slide lock on the side, to keep the retractable arms locked in place! Works really well too- when I was testing it on the chair back I dropped it to the floor and it never budged! Woo hoo! 


I LOVE this accessory! Now I don't have to worry about Kiddo playing around and hitting the internet while watching a video on it in the car, or about it falling off the counter, and I can play a cooking video WHILE in the kitchen and have it at eye level! I know it will help me use my cell phone even more- it's the smart accessory for the smart phone!


AND at under $15 it's perfect for your kids (and friends) for Christmas or birthday presents!
