  • Summary: Great travel stand for iPad
  • Comment: I bought this stand to use with the iPad, despite it being advertised for iPhone and smartphones. I am not disappointed. The stand folds flat and will fit anywhere in a bag. The height needs to be adjusted a bit so the iPad does not top over, but it will work beautifully. Needless to say, it's also great for any smartphone.

  • Summary: VERY deceptive description!
  • Comment: The first thing that's missing from their description of this little piece of rubber is that you absolutely CANNOT use it with your iPhone in the device's natural orientation (portrait) if your iPhone is connected to the charge/sync cable. It rolls right over, because the back "leg" of this thing is rounded at the tip and there's no room at the bottom for the cord.

    So as long as you don't mind that your iPhone must be sideways (landscape) to use this thing, then go ahead and buy it. I'm definitely going to return this for one that's useful. Frankly, even if this thing actually was of use, I'd be offended over paying just under $25 for it. It's not at all substancial and certainly not worth the price. It has to be one of the most disappointing purchases I've made on Amazon.

  • Summary: Expensive but perfect
  • Comment: ...so if you skip buying all the $4.99 & $9.99 alternatives before you buy this, it's a net savings. All those crappy stands will cost just as much after you find them inadequate. This stand is pretty much nirvana not just for iPod/Phone but for any PMP (I'm an insane collector who buys these things grey market from China). It packs flat, doesn't slide on airplane trays, you don't need pillows & ice buckets to achieve a decent viewing angle. And it looks damn sharp, and it's infinitely adjustable. Give the guys/girls who invented it credit. They built a better mousetrap. Just bite the bullet and do it, I've had mine for like 3 months already and there's no sign of a Chinese knock-off for $3 that can touch it. And probably won't be, as simple as it is, the manufacturing is actually quite expensive. Steel molds for small runs don't come cheap. It's a good value. And no, even tho it has rubber hinges you'll be onto your 79th favorite gadget ever before they show the slightest sign of fatigue.

  • Summary: Not Worth $25
  • Comment: It's an easy to use and simple device. Simple Plastic and rubber. Does not support iPhone in a case very well. I would guess it's worth at about $5.
