Smartphone stands can be useful, but why carry around a device that only serves as a phone prop? The TriPro Stand goes above and beyond, offering features like a blade, bit drivers, a knife sharpener, and more.
The TriPro Stand is made of Grade 5 titanium and is currently available on Kickstarter. It is created by the Chinese outdoor gear company AlloyX.
To fit at least 12 functions, the device is made up of three magnetically connected rectangular pieces – a Central Piece in the middle, flanked by slimmer pieces on each side.

When it’s time to prop up a smartphone, the two side pieces are pulled off of the Central Piece, slotted together at a right angle to form a V, then laid flat on a surface. The phone is then slid into two slots – one in each piece – holding it vertically or horizontally at a 45-degree angle.
The Central Piece also includes a magnetic storage space for three 1/6-inch steel bits, a magnetic bit driver socket, a tungsten steel window-breaking stud, a knife-sharpening slot, a SIM card ejector pin, and a foldout stainless steel surgical blade.

Between the two side pieces, there are features like a pry bar/nail puller, hex driver holes, spoke wrenches, and slots for glow-in-the-dark tritium vials.
The total weight of the device is reported at 56.5 grams (2 oz).
If the TriPro Stand goes into production, pledging $69 on Kickstarter will get you one, with a planned retail price of $99.
