elago Universal Remote Holder Mount (Large, Black) for Apple TV Remote and Other Remotes
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
A universal remote holder mount from elago, designed to keep your Apple TV remote and other everyday remotes in one place. If you’ve ever found yourself “just checking” where the Apple TV remote went… and then spent ten minutes turning the living room upside down, this sort of accessory makes a lot of sense.
On paper, the core idea is simple: reduce the chances of losing remotes by giving them a designated home. It’s not a smart device or a gadget with apps, it’s more of a practical bit of home organisation that you notice every day once you get into the habit.
Where it fits in the home setup
The holder is described as compatible with the Apple TV remote and also “all other remote controls”. That’s useful if you don’t want multiple different stands cluttering the TV area. The product is also built around a detailed design and comes in a large size in black, which should suit most living room styles.
It’s also aimed at people who already use Apple TV regularly. The description leans into a real-world pain point: Apple TV remotes can be fiddly, easy to misplace, and can be expensive to replace. A mount is one of those early-prep purchases—especially if you have guests or kids who may not naturally put remotes back where they belong.
Installation options (and the trade-off)
One of the biggest decision points is installation. This mount includes two installation methods:
- A strong adhesive sticker for a flat wall or the back of your TV
- Provided screws if you prefer a more traditional fix to the wall
That flexibility is handy because not every TV setup is the same, and not every wall surface suits strong adhesive long-term. Still, it’s worth keeping in mind that adhesive mounting is only as good as the surface preparation and the flatness of where you’re sticking it. If your wall or TV back isn’t ideal, you may find the screw method is the safer bet.
A practical way to think about it: adhesive is quick and tidy, but screws can be more reassuring if you’re worried about long-term holding.
What you’ll notice in everyday use
The best part, if you’re the type who constantly “misplaces” remotes, is consistency. The mount is meant to keep remotes in the same spot every time—so you’re not relying on memory or guesswork.
For a micro example: imagine pausing a film, reaching for the remote, and subconsciously placing it back in the holder when you stand up. Next time you want to skip back, you’re not scanning cushions or searching under a sofa. It’s a small change, but it reduces friction.
Worth noting though: if you sometimes use remotes from other rooms, a single fixed holder means you’ll still need a separate habit (or storage) elsewhere. This mount is for keeping things local to the TV area.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want one designated place for your TV remotes and you’re actively trying to stop the “where is it?” routine. It’s also a sensible buy if you’ve got Apple TV at home and would rather prevent replacement costs than deal with them later.
It may not suit you if you don’t use remotes near the TV very often, or if your setup can’t accommodate either adhesive on a flat surface or screwing into the wall. Also, if you already have a remote drawer or charging dock system you’re happy with, you might feel this is redundant.
Mini FAQ
How many installation methods does it include?
The mount provides two options: a strong sticker for a flat wall or the back of your TV, and screws for wall mounting.
Does it work for more than Apple TV remotes?
The description states it’s compatible with the Apple TV remote control and other remote controls, so you can use it for multiple remotes in the same place.
Is it meant for a specific TV model?
The information given focuses on Apple TV remotes and universal remote controls rather than a specific TV model, with installation possible on a flat wall or the back of the TV.
Is adhesive mounting reliable?
It can be, especially on a flat wall or flat TV back, but you’ll want to have a suitable surface for the sticker to grip properly. If you’re concerned about the surface or longevity, the screw method is also available.
Is it worth it?
This elago Universal Remote Holder Mount is worth considering if your main goal is to keep remotes consistently in one spot—particularly if you use Apple TV and hate misplacing the controller. The two installation methods (strong sticker and screws) make it easier to fit different TV setups.
You may want to skip it if your wall or TV back isn’t suitable for adhesive and you’re not comfortable with screws, or if you prefer storing remotes somewhere away from the TV area. Overall, it’s a practical, early-prevention kind of accessory: it won’t solve every remote storage problem, but it can remove a very common one.
