TechMatteiPad Stand Multi-Angle Aluminum Holder for Tablets, E-Readers and Smartphones, Nintendo Switch - Mini Stand

This is a great little stand. To be honest, I didnt expect much at all for the price. But what I got is well beyond my expectations. First off, its solid aluminum construction. I first thought I would only use one setting. I quickly learned that because of the glare on my Kindle Fire and depending on where I am sitting, two of the settings are perfect. If the construction was cheaper, I wouldve been worried that constantly adjusting it would wear it out fast. But the mechanism is solid. You cant force it in or out of its setting. You must compress the button fully. Now, take a look at the inside of the seat area. Its perfectly measured to securely fit any tablet and probably most phones. (Ive tested this on the Fire HD, an iPad Air, iPad mini, and my iPhone 4s).There is no worry of the tablet sliding out on the sides. The rubber seat and rubber stoppers, on the high side of the back, hold it in place nicely. So even bumping it wont launch it out of the holder. Also, the adjustable foot/stand also has rubber along the whole edge. That means that the grip on all surfaces is maintained exactly the same no matter what angle you need the stand to be put into. Ive even tested this on a bed. It works just as well as on a table. The tablet basically becomes one with the stand and because the weight is significant it can be on a bed (while laying next to it) and it wont tip in any direction even if you role around, get out of bed, etc.An added bonus is the carry bag. While I cant imagine using it for the stand itself it works great as a cable and charger holder. Right now, my back up USB drive, charger + cable are occupying the bag. If I do need to take everything with me I bet all that plus the stand will fit in it.Overall: If someone showed this to me, let me handle it, and then told me they got it for $12-15 I wouldve asked them where they got it and still bought one. This is the 3rd or 4th stand Ive had in this price point. Ive considered them to be 1) cheap, 2) poorly constructed, and 3) disposable. This stand is none of those things. If everyone got one of these every other manufacturer would be out of business...and so would TechMatte. Because no one would ever need to replace theirs. TechMatte's quality would effectively put themselves out of business. Imagine if Bic made a pen that never ran out of ink! This is the equivalent. Its the last stand that you'll need for your tablet or phone. Unless you have an abnormally large tablet (Ive seen a few at trade shows in Asia) Those may not work with this. But why would you have a giant tablet anyway? Minds well just get a laptop (they are designed to not need a stand)

When I bought this heavy duty stand I knew going in that is primarily made to hold the iPhone and iPad devices (without an Otterbox), yet I found that it will work on other brands such as Samsung and I will list below which Samsung phones that this stand will accommodate well (this will include several models of tablets and phones that fit into this stand). In addition, below I list in the PROS my actual test findings and more info on this stand as to the features of it:PROS:+ Several Adjustments (to many eye levels) - This can be easily adjusted on so many levels so you can angle your phone to whatever viewing level you want to. This stand has the most adjustments for any stand that I have ever used.+ Charging my devices in this stand (and using them at the same time) - Since there is no open space on the bottom of this stand in which to insert a charger, I just place my phone or tablet in landscape and keep it in the stand and charge it this way. Then I can still use the stand (in landscape) while it is charging when it is in need of a charge).+ Sturdiness / Build Quality / Appearance - Because this stand is heavier than most other stands, and the fact that it is wider than most stands, plus the rubber grippers on the bottom of the stand, it will not slide around like most other stands do. Since the color is silver, it has that more professional and classy appearance when sitting on your desk at work or in a home office etc. This case has that classy designer look totally!+ Devices I tested that fit into this stand (including my Tab 2's and TAB 3 which all fit perfectly in portrait and landscape perfectly in this stand).(While iPhone and iPad (without case) fits well into this stand, for me, I own Samsung devices, so I tested them and give my test results):* Samsung Galaxy S4 YES even with a silicone cover on the phone - the phone fit almost all the way down to the bottom of this case (there is just very tiny gap that I noticed when looking sideways at the fit). However, because this stand has an inside all rubber gripper on it, my S4 fit into this securely even with the silicone cover. **It will not fit if you have the S4 in an Otterbox though. Good news! If you have a barely there case of the S4 or no case on it, it will go all the way down into the stand in portrait mode.It does go all the way down in the stand in landscape mode.* Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos - With a barely there back type of case (thin cover) on it fits most of the way down, but down enough in the slot to feel secure. If no case is on the Grand, it fits in portrait all the way down into the stand. In landscape with the thin case on it, it fits all the way down into the slot in this stand. It will not fit if you have an Otterbox on the Grand.* Samsung Galaxy S3 - Fits well with a slim barely there back case. Fits well without a case.* Samsung Galaxy S2 - In portrait mode: With a slim barely there cover, it went part of the way down into the slot and felt secure. With a TPU case or silicone case, it kind of went down, but not as secure as I liked. Without a case, however, it went all the way down into the slot. In landscape and in barely there cover, it did go most of the way down with the slim barely there back case.* Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 with barely there back case. Fits perfectly and goes all the way down into the slot on this stand.* Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 - Without a case, this player fit most of the way down into the slot in Portrait mode. With a thin, barely there type of cover, no, it did not fit well in portrait mode, yet in landscape mode, it went all of the way down in the slot even with a cover on it.* Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 (without a TPU cover). The tablet fit very well into this stand and went fully into the slot both in portrait and landscape positions. Since the Tab 3 7.0 and 10.1 are thin in depth, they should fit fine as well.* Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (both the 7 and 10) tested both (without any TPU cover) and each one fit perfectly into the slot in portrait and in landscape.* Samsung S3 MINI - I tried this both with a TPU cover and with no cover and there is NO WAY that I would recommend this phone with this stand because of the very rounded edges design of the S3 Mini. If you own this phone and need a stand, then I suggest this one: iKross Universal Folding Stand, which has a deeper slot and the S3 Mini fits perfectly into this stand.Highly recommend this wonderful stand (with the included drawstring carrying bag) and it should work even if you have an non Apple device, IF the depth is thin and it is a newer phone (the new phones are getting thinner and thinner).

I’ve used many stands over the years for my iPads. This stand is very sturdy and easy to adjust for different angles. I especially love that it’s metal construction provides additional weight that’s helpful for allowing a tablet to be used in portrait (tall) orientation. All my previous stands would hold the tablet precariously and often topple over when touching the screen. This stand is a winner!
