ELECOM is releasing a new collection of smartphone stands called “Aibou Stand” in mid April.

Aibou means “buddy” in Japanese and the design of the stand is like a Japanese person sitting on the floor.

There are 3 different models in various colors. Each model shows a different Japanese seating style – One sits cross-legged (manly style), another one sits with its legs folded sideways (feminine style) and the last one sits on one’s knees (formal style).

These figures are made of soft silicone so they are nice and gentle for your smartphone and fun to touch.

Retail Price is 3,349 yen.
