Join Namerah Saud Fatmi as she explores the cool, weird, and sometimes downright weird world of smartphone accessories, gadgets, and other cool toys. every week.
Phone holders and stands are a dime a dozen, and it’s hard to make your mark in the industry at the level of brands like PopSockets.
Enter AULUMU. The award-winning Chinese brand aims to “reimagine urban tech accessories” with a futuristic, almost cyberpunk aesthetic. The brand introduced the innovative G09 Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand in January 2026, followed by the open version G09 Ghost Transparent Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand in May 2026.
I’ve been testing the G09 Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand for a month now and it’s a breath of fresh air, truly innovative in the phone accessories segment.
Confusing at first, genius once you figure it out
AULUMU sent me the Ghost Transparent version of the G09 stand in yellow. This version costs $39.98 and comes in Yellow, Orange, Clear White and Clear Grey. Meanwhile, the regular opaque variant costs $45.98 and comes in Black and Silver.
The AULUMU box includes an adhesive magnetic adapter ring, as well as a very helpful manual with easy-to-follow diagrams. Without the instructions I was very lost and couldn’t make heads or tails of the stand.

AULUMU G09 Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand is a 3-axis magnetic stand with double-sided magnetic attachments. These two main sides slide open on a tight hinge, so it stays in place depending on the angle at which you place the stand. It’s confusing when described in words, but pictures provide much-needed context.
Twist it, turn it, twist it, fold it
The AULUMU G09 stand can be folded into countless angles. Since it is a magnetic accessory, you can also flip it around the back of the phone. The N52 magnets built into the stand are very strong.
This makes for a highly adjustable phone stand that weighs only 39g (35g for the opaque version) and isn’t too bulky. Whether in portrait mode or landscape mode, you can find the angle that suits you. Here are some of the many configurations I tried.

It also has a removable silicone finger strap, so you don’t have to remove the AULUMU G09 Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand. It can stay on the back of your phone, replace a PopSocket or whatever grip you use.

You can easily use the stand on your phone with a MagSafe or Qi2 magnetic case, although this will naturally make your smartphone mount thicker.
Stacks upon stacks
One of the many advantages of double-sided magnets is that you can stack magnetic accessories on top of the G09 stand. So, if you really prefer the flip-top grip, you can simply attach it to the AULUMU G09 Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand.

You can take it even further by using a double-sided magnetic arm or attachment to attach your phone to a metal surface.
Due to the circular shape on both sides of the stand, you can literally hang the phone from the handles or buttons. This configuration makes the G09 stand look like a pair of shackles, but it works, so I won’t knock it.
The AULUMU G09 stand innovates in a meaningful way and is definitely worth buying
AULUMU may write a steep bill, but the G09 Ghost Transparent Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand definitely feels worth $40. It packs a lot of features into one, so I think it really does offer fantastic value for money.
The G09 stand takes some time to understand, so you’ll need to keep the instruction manual with you for the first few days. But once you get used to it, it’s really fun to use.
I think the only real question here is whether you should get the more expensive opaque version of the G09 Infinite 360° Magnetic Stand. At 35g, it’s only 4g lighter than the Ghost Transparent variant. Is that worth $6 more? Personally, I don’t think so. Besides, the transparent design comes with more interesting colors anyway.
