Torso devices comprise a body having a central opening, interposed between an integral body front member and body rear member, for placement of user's torso therein. The front member has a top or table surface, and the front and rear members comprise surface areas for contacting the user's torso. The front and rear members are configured to impose a compression force against the user's torso. Together the front and rear member surface area and the compression force function to maintain a desired placement position of the front member relative to the user when placed in the central opening, e.g., perpendicular to the user's torso or parallel to the floor on which the user is standing, when the user moves from a sitting to a standing position and/or when the user is walking, to thereby provide a readily available table surface for facilitating certain tasks or activities.

A lap desk has an integrated, foldable arm that fits into a slot at the corner of the desk. The foldable arm includes a magnetic panel designed to securely hold a mobile phone, including those compatible with MagSafe technology. The foldable arm is adjustable, allowing the user to position the phone at various viewing angles. When not in use, the foldable arm folds into the desk for easy storage and portability. The design of the lap desk provides a convenient way to hold and view a mobile phone while using the lap desk, without taking up valuable desk space.
