Leano Charging Cable with Stand | 2-in-1 Braided Cable & Fold-Out Phone Holder

Darker evenings are here: charge your phone and prop it up with one cable.

Tired of holding your phone while it charges?

The cable is never quite long enough, the phone lies flat on the table with the screen at the wrong angle, and the little stand you own is somewhere else in the house. So you end up holding the phone in one hand, with the cable pulling on the other, just to watch a video or follow a recipe.

Leano is a braided charging cable with a fold-out stand built into the phone-end connector. Plug it in, swing out the arms, and your phone stands up by itself while it charges.

Why this works differently

Most people use a cable and a separate stand, or buy a stand that needs its own power. With Leano the stand is part of the connector itself, so there is only one thing to plug in, one thing to pack and one thing to find.

The biggest difference: the stand folds flat when you don't need it, so the cable looks and works like a normal charging cable the rest of the time.

How it works

Leano has two small arms on the connector that plug into your phone. Swing them out and they hold the phone upright or on its side, whichever suits what you are doing. The connector is angled, so the cable runs away from the side of the phone instead of sticking straight out. When you have finished, fold the arms back in and the connector is flat again.

Why you'll love it

• Charge and prop up in one go: no separate stand to carry or lose.
• Portrait or landscape: choose the angle that suits a video call, a film or a recipe.
• Folds flat: the stand tucks away when you don't need it.
• Angled connector: the cable leaves the phone from the side, so it is not in your way.
• Braided cable: a 48-strand braided outer sheath that is flexible and tangle resistant.
• Metal body: aluminium and zinc alloy.
• Three connector versions: Lightning to USB-C, USB-C to USB-C, or USB-C to USB-A.
• Easy to pack: one cable for the desk, the bedside table or a weekend away.

How to use it

Choose the version that matches your phone's port and your charger. Plug the plug end into your charger, plug the connector into your phone, then swing the arms out and rest the phone on them. Fold them flat again when you are done.

When you'll use it

On the sofa or in bed. Watch something while the phone charges, without holding it up.

At your desk or in the kitchen. Keep the screen in view for video calls or a recipe, with the phone charging.

On a trip. One cable with a stand built in, so there is less to pack.

As a gift. A practical present for anyone who is always charging a phone.

Who it's for, and who it's not

Great for you if you charge your phone while you watch, call or cook, want one cable instead of a cable and a stand, or are looking for a practical gift or stocking filler anywhere in the UK.

Less suitable if you need a cable for a device with a different port to those listed, use a very thick phone case that blocks the port, or want a stand that holds a tablet or laptop.

Frequently asked questions

How does the stand work?
Two small arms on the phone-end connector swing out and fold flat again. Fold them out to rest your phone upright (portrait) or on its side (landscape), and fold them back in when you don't need them.

Which connector version do I need?
Look at the charging port on your phone. Lightning to USB-C: for iPhones with a Lightning port (iPhone 14 and earlier). USB-C to USB-C: for Android phones with a USB-C port (from around 2018) and iPhone 15 and later. USB-C to USB-A: the device end is USB-C and the plug end is USB-A, for use with older USB-A chargers and ports. Always choose the version that matches your phone's port and the charger you plan to use.

Will it work with my phone?
It works with phones that have the port described in the version you choose. We state the supported phones for each version above rather than claiming it suits every phone. If you are unsure which port your phone has, email us at hello@blissado.com with the phone model and we'll help you choose.

Does it come with a charger?
No. Leano is a cable, so you need your own charger or power source that matches the plug end you choose (USB-C or USB-A).

What do the power ratings mean?
The ratings (240W, 65W and 30W, depending on the version) are the most the cable is rated to carry. Your real charging speed depends on your charger and on your phone, and most phones draw far less than the maximum rating.

Can I charge a tablet or laptop with it?
The USB-C to USB-C version can charge USB-C tablets and laptops that accept charging over USB-C, with the speed depending on your charger and the device. The fold-out stand is designed with phones in mind, so we don't recommend using it to hold a tablet or laptop.

Will it fit with my phone case?
The connector plugs into your phone's port, so the case needs to leave the port accessible. Slim cases usually do. With a very thick or bulky case, the connector may not reach the port.

Can I use my phone while it charges?
Yes. Rest the phone on the stand and use it for video calls, videos or recipes while it charges, in portrait or landscape.

Is this the same as the StandUp Power Bank?
No. Leano is a charging cable with a stand built in and it needs a power source. The StandUp Power Bank is a separate magnetic battery with its own stand.

What is the cable made of?
The body is made of aluminium and zinc alloy, and the cable has a 48-strand braided outer sheath.

One cable that charges your phone and holds it up, ready when you are.
