Abstract: A multifunctional mobile phone holder, comprising a bottom plate for fixing the back of mobile phone. One end of the bottom plate is provided with a sliding seat which can slide on bottom plate. There is a flexible belt between the other end of the bottom plate and the sliding seat. When the sliding seat is slid to one end of bottom plate, the flexible belt clings to the face of the bottom plate for integrated collection, and it is relatively thin. When the sliding seat slides to the middle of bottom plate, the flexible belt rises against the face of the bottom plate, forming a ring space for the finger to go through. The user's finger goes through the ring space, the flexible belt fastens the finger, so that the user can hold the phone firmly to avoid the phone dropping off.
