IDEE Tablet Floor Stand with 10lb Heavy Duty Base 360 Degree Adjustable Tall Holder for Bed Compatible up

I thought I’d provide a long term review as I’ve been using this stand on a daily basis for over 2 years and am amazed how well it has served me. I use this at my bed with an Apple iPad Air 2 a fairly thin and light tablet but heavier than a phone. It has a heavy stable base that that prevents it from tipping in any orientation (I use it on carpet). The arm is is in 2 sections by leaving the lower horizontal part stationary over the most stable part of the base, one can use their device at max distance from base and then swing it aside when done. The calipers that hold the device are the best part and excellently designed with a padded contact point that sits on a spring platform. The spring allows for more travel than the thickness of the cushions unlike other holders I’ve seen. This is important as the extra travel allows one to ratchet the tightness consistently each time. It is tight enough to hold my device in any orientation (even in portrait mode) without slipping (it has never dropped my iPad) but also keeps prevents over tightening and damaging the device. A simple press of the release button unlocks the ratchet and frees the device. The holder allows one to twist it from landscape to portrait as needed and even pivoting up/down/left and right with no need to loosen and tighten a tension screw or locking/unlocking. Also once you set the tension spring on the upper vertical arm to counter the weight of the device (they include a tool for this), one can lift or lower the device easily and it will stay in place. I’ve had to adjust this 2x in 2 years of ownership. The only weak part I found was the collar that holds the moving arms onto the stationary vertical tube. It is plastic with a metal pin that passes through it and the metal vertical tube attached to the base to join both together. This design is fine if one doesn’t lift the unit by grabbing the movable arms above the collar. Since the base is heavy, lifting in this manner places all the weight of the base on the pin which will eventually break the plastic collar it passes through. Lifting at the base or by the lower vertical tube will avoid this. I was lazy and after lifting the unit several times a week for ~1 y, the collar broke at the pin hole. It was usable as long as I didn’t lift it as the upper tube would slide out of the lower tube. I fixed this with a hack that secured the upper and lower vertical tubes together with a new pin (made from copper wire) and drilling a new hole through the metal tube and collar. This item is pricier than most others but there is value if you use it as much as I do. Note: I saw a comment on running a charging cable through the tubes to make it convenient. While this can be done I use magnetic cable clips to keep a longe charging cable attached to the tube of the unit. Read more

I have a flat screen in my living room but use my iPad when I’m in my bedroom to watch tv since there isn’t much space to put a tv. Buying this stand was a game changer, my neck no longer hurts from looking at the iPad in my bed next to me and I can adjust the height and view if iPad to how and where I sleep in the bed! Definitely wish I bought this years ago! Also a big issue with buying one of these was the sturdiness, I thought they would fall over since I have the iPad Pro but this one has a very heavy bottom like a brick so it never falls over.

Practical and Efficient, allows to have a better physical position while watching. Very good product May be could be a little lighter to facilitate moving , but it might depend on structural reasons . Read more

I've had this product a year (bought it December 2017) and have literally used it daily to hold my iPad in a number of convenient accessible positions while reclining in bed. It serves its purpose beautifully. It is very easy to maneuver into a variety of positions, it holds its position firmly, and when finished with my iPad use, it's easy to swing it out of the way with a simple gesture. It's also easy to disconnect and reconnect the iPad from its mounting, which I've done a few times, to use in another room. Every so often one or another connection need a bit of tightening from repeated use. In the year I've had the stand, I've had to tighten the raise-and-lower tube maybe twice or three times, if that, and it's very easy to do that. For such tightening tasks, the unit comes with a handy little toolkit that I keep fastened to the stand. It is nice and sturdy and I say without hesitation, indispensable! A definite recommendation.

The screws kept tightening each time you adjust so you have to push harder each time until the stress snaps the plastic. Thought I would spend a bit more for better quality. Turns out I just spent more…… Read more
