Three phone props in one, and it folds flat enough to forget

There's a particular kind of magic in an accessory that folds flat enough to forget, and then remembers it's a tripod, a stand, and a grip the moment your arm gets tired. This one does that trick. It burrows into your pocket like a slim nothing, then unfolds into three distinctly useful personalities. The grip is for the selfie you'll deny taking. The tripod is for the shot that needs a steady hand you don't have. The stand is for the video call you're already late to. It won't replace a proper rig, but it doesn't want to. It just wants to be the thing you actually carry.
