ABOUT GRIPTRIP

At GripTrip, we set out to solve a simple but frustrating problem—how do you comfortably watch content on your phone while traveling? Planes, trains, cafés, and even workspaces don’t always offer the right setup, and holding your phone for hours isn’t ideal. In fact, our founder experienced this firsthand on a recent plane journey, which inspired the creation of GripTrip.

That’s why we designed GripTrip—a compact, credit-card-sized phone holder built for convenience. Whether you’re on a flight, commuting, or just relaxing at home, GripTrip gives you a secure, hands-free viewing experience wherever you are. It’s lightweight, durable, and travel-friendly, fitting easily into pockets, bags, or purses, so you’re always prepared.

What started as an idea has turned into a fully patented product, gaining traction in retail and travel markets. As GripTrip continues to grow, we’re excited about the journey ahead and open to exploring brand collaboration opportunities with companies that align with our vision.
