Solid Stand for Keeping an Eye on Things
I recently purchased this to use primarily on my nightstand. We have our iPad set up on it to keep an eye on our baby monitor feed while he's sleeping. It's been really practical for this specific use. The main things I was looking for were stability and being able to angle the iPad just right, and this stand delivers on both fronts. When it's completely folded down, the dimensions are roughly 5.35 inches by 5.78 inches, and it's about 1.85 inches thick, so it doesn't take up a ton of space if you do need to pack it away. The slot where the tablet sits is about 0.75 inches wide, and you can get the tablet screen up to about 3.4 inches off the table surface. Summary: Overall, a dependable and nicely adjustable stand that’s become essential for our baby monitoring setup using the iPad. Pros: The range of viewing angles you can set is a big plus for me; it’s easy to get it just right whether I’m sitting up or lying down. It’s genuinely useful that it can adjust to fit different tablet sizes (they say 4 to 14 inches). Our iPad feels quite secure. No wobbling at all – it feels really stable on the nightstand, even with the iPad in place. The aluminum construction gives it a solid, quality feel that I appreciate. Cons: Adjusting the joint tightness requires a little Allen wrench. It comes with one, but I can already tell I’m going to misplace it sooner or later. The main stand is aluminum, which is great, but the part that actually grips the tablet is plastic. It seems fine for now, but I do find myself wondering how that plastic will hold up over time compared to the metal parts. Read more
