The best way to get Muji gear is to go to a store. I linked a few of the products below, but honestly it is so much more expensive in the US. Make a few notes and pull this video up next time you find yourself in a Muji store!

Alright, alright. The people have spoken and apparently I fumbled the cable winder. I will take it out of the NO pile and retest it. There are definite flaws with it, but I own the fact that I did not give it a fair shot! Thank you for keeping me honest, this is exactly why I read every comment. ❤️
Here is a short with me demoing the product again- https://youtube.com/shorts/iIW-IRrq4eI

I have and regularly use the phone stand. You need to attach the two magnetic sections at the opposite edges. If done correctly, the stand is sturdy and the ridges on the lip prevent the phone from slipping. It is an excellent travel gadget with a slim form factor that serves to prop up phones on a plane tray table or for solo diners to enjoy some video content with their meal. It is cheap and easily fits in a wallet or small tech EDC pouch - I have this stand, a small power bank, ear buds, a leash for the ear buds, a 30w AC plug, a small USB cable, a mini 6-in-1 data cable, a couple of data blockers and a few small carabiners all in the smallest sized Muji double zipper pouch. Would I use this stand at home? Of couse not. It isn’t adjustable and isn't suitable for larger devices. Would it work during severe turbulence. Probably not. But it is a simple, light-weight solution for use while on the go.

You didn’t know how to use the phone stand. It works. You didn’t know how to make it stand. It requires getting used to.

If you followed the basic instructions on the cable winder you'd find it works very well

Use the finger tooth wipe as a cover for the tongue cleaners.

Oh yeah, try the cable winder again! It does technically add more bulk, but it’s really nice to have it all compacted together without the wire going everywhere, plus it keeps it clean and is easier to find in your bag!

hahahaha, i have the foldable smartphone stand. I can't believe that there are people that don't know how to fold it correctly to make it work. One of the best product that I use everyday

The cable case/winder being a NO made me legit mad. That's like Muji's best product, you were just doing it wrong. You didn't even show the hidden phone stand part. We need a re-do with an actual following of instructions.

Oh the dental wipes were how people cleaned their teeth before the advent of the toothbrush and toothpaste, you'd get a hankerchief or cloth and wipe any plaque or food chunks off your teeth. Not a great replacement for a toothbrush while traveling but suppose you were about to go to a business meeting after lunch.

The insect repellent sheets are life saviour in Japan. Tiger mosquitos are so aggressive here and you can easily get bite 10 times in few minutes just sitting on a bench in a park

Good review. (Except for the winder.) 😊

We used to have a Muji store in San Jose and I loved it! I always went to it when we were downtown. Sadly it closed about 10 years ago but I just placed an order on their online shop.

Thanks again!

Yes to insect repellent wipes! Easier to apply, can bring in carry-on or in purse when on the go.

Disposable toothbrush-head covers should work for the tongue cleaner.

I have the folding stand and it works really well, but can be a bit confusing to get upright. Highly recommend.

I love the cable winder!

FYI hip/fanny packs are sometimes counted as your one carry-on with some airlines. I even called the airlines I went with ahead of time and they said they aren't counted - but when I got to the gate they said they were and I had to try to find room in my carry-on to stick it (not easy) then I was told I could take it out after boarding. So, big FYI, even if you call the airlines you may not get correct info and you may need to leave some room for your fanny/hip pack if they treat it like a carry-on, which mine did.
