I like to keep my desk neat and tidy, not only so that it doesn’t look cluttered but so I can easily find everything – everything has its own place. That’s also the same for around my television where the PlayStation sits, I don’t like bits discarded everywhere and the controller has a home in the drawer – well not anymore. Now my controller proudly sits next to the console, all neat and tidy (especially when charging), on the Dr Eggman Controller Holder & Phone Stand.
For those that don’t know, Dr Eggman is the mad scientist and main antagonist in Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, one of gaming’s most iconic figures.
The Cable Guys Dr Eggman Controller Holder & Phone Stand is a fantastic fun desk accessory to hold your phone, gaming controller or remote control. It is compatible with most types of smartphones and console controllers, including the next-gen PlayStation 5 DualSense, Xbox Series S/X and all iPhones. It measure approx. 8.5″ (22cm) tall and is officially licensed by Sega, styled on the Modern Dr Eggman.
Overall, the Dr Eggman Controller Holder & Phone Stand is an extremely cool looking and functional desk accessory. It wonderfully captures the essence of Dr. Eggman with extremely impressive detail in a bold, modern design. With his signature red coat, oversized moustache and menacing grin the figure instantly recognisable and a standout piece on any desk or gaming setup. The sculpt is solid and well-balanced, with a glossy finish that enhances its display appeal without feeling overly plastic or cheap. His outstretched arms provide a surprisingly sturdy cradle to support devices such and game controllers and large phones. With a weight of around 540g complete with a rubberised base helps to keep it stable, even with charging cables attached. And the quality is excellent, it doesn’t feel or look overly plastic or cheap.
I have been using it with my PS5 controller and it’s perfect, but it is equally as good as a phone holder. It can accommodate phones with large screen in horizontal or vertical positions, making it an ideal stand for placing your phone to watch videos, listen to music or just for charging your phone – it doesn’t come with a charging cable, you do have to use your own but it’s open design makes cable management very easy.
In terms of value, the Dr. Eggman Cable Guy is reasonably priced with an RRP of £29.99. Initially that might seem a bit steep for a controller or phone holder but it is well made, excellent quality, very sturdy and it adds a bit of comic personality to your gaming setup, offering a fun and functional way to do so. It also makes a great gift, especially for birthdays or Christmas, thanks to its eye-catching design and universal compatibility.
The Dr. Eggman Controller Holder & Phone Stand is a charming fun blend of classic gaming fandom combined with superb functionality. It’s a must-have for Sonic fans and a fun conversation starter for anyone who appreciates gaming memorabilia with a practical twist.
