The Dorm Room Essential Every Parent Should Send

Comfort, organization, and health support for your student—so you can worry less and they can thrive.

Founder's Note

As a mom and the founder of PhoneSpuds, I created this product out of my own journey recovering from illness and injury. During that time, I struggled with hand pain and fatigue just from holding my phone—challenges I never expected, but that made everyday comfort and health so important.

I know how much you care about your child’s well-being, even when they’re away at college. That’s why I designed PhoneSpuds: to help students stay comfortable, organized, and free from the aches and pains that come with long hours on their devices. It’s a little piece of home and care you can send with them, so you can feel confident they have what they need to thrive.— Kim Diamond
