But in just ONE, ONLY ONE! direction. Per instructions. Top tilts full forward (vertical), to completely backwards. Base spins in a complete circle, 360 degrees smoothly. Base is Heavy, w/small round, rubber, non-scratch pads. Won't flip over or sideways, without being hit/knocked Very hard.

Works great with my son’s iPad even with the case on it. It’s very sturdy and fitting for my 5 year old and his virtual classes. It doesn’t fall off and he can move the angle with ease. Read more
I needed a stand that would work well with my iPad Mini (retina) for my concession business. I needed something that would allow my tablet to use Square card reader, then swivel so the customer could sign without ever picking up or touching the tablet. This worked perfectly. The bottom is nicely weighed so the unit stays planted (although I do wish it had a mounting option). The clamps on the left and right are made of a rubber material along with the dark grey circle between the clamps, ensuring no harm to your tablet while its clamped in. The base can rotate the entire tablet 360, the same way a person can swivel around in an office chair. And for even more versatility, the hinge that connects the top half to the lower half can flip your tablet to be viewed by someone opposite from you, which is perfect for over the tablet encounters. But looking at how the stand is set up, I can say I was one of the lucky ones. This stand probably wouldn't work with half of other tablets. The clamps that you see in the provided picture only slide out about an inch on each side, and are spring loaded. So whatever tablet that requires the clamps to stretch will fit nice and tight. However, like some iPad users here, when the iPad is in portrait mode (home button at the bottom), this doesn't stretch the clamps, leaving only the non slip rubber on the clamps to keep the iPad in place (thus the reason behind the 1 star reviewers complaint and loose iPads). I would think this is the case for only the iPad Air Trying to explain dimensions on something square could be confusing (height, width, and depth can be confused with one another) so here's a general rule for this stand- if one of your tablets dimensions is between 6.5-7.9 inches, then it would fit one way or another. The dimensions for a Nexus 10 are 10.4 x 7 x .4, so it would fit. Same with the iPad mini. However, the Kindle Fire HDX dimensions are beyond 7.9 inches or below 6.5, so it might not. Also, forget about having a case on while this tablet is clamped in. I recommend a full body plastic film protector, like Bodyguardz or Skinomi But all in all, the stand works perfect for my needs, and makes my business look very professional for a low price. And as many people have said after searching forever, its the only one of its kind at this price Read more
I use this stand for recording music and video as well as to look at lyrics or chord changes while playing music. I live in a small studio so the weighted base takes up less space than a traditional tripod and it is a heavy, sturdy base. The stand has the advantage of being able to put down pretty low without a gooseneck, which is another reason why I purchased this one, sit I am usually sitting on a chair and needed one to be level with my eyes and did not want a gooseneck since I would have to move the stand back which would take up more room. The actual part that grabs the iPad is sturdy and secure but it could use some padding or something because these stands work best without a case. Comparing it to my Hoverbar Duo, the Kantek has much harder edges where the iPad goes in. However, it holds it well and does not fall down. Some cons is that 1. it is expensive, really overpriced for what it is, but it was one of the only few short, weighted base, non-gooseneck options on Amazon. Also, you are able to position the iPad up but with the design, you can't angle it downwards. Overall it is not perfect and expensive but I think it will hold up for a few years and works well for my application. Read more
Greatest support accessory ever made for the IPad! The stand sturdily supports your IPad and will grip when the iPad is in a flip case. The frame turns 360 degrees with 90 degree indents to hold your iPad horizontally or vertical. You can adjust the angle for best viewing and the entire stand rotates 360 degrees on the nicely weighted base. I read with it, find it indispensable in the kitchen when cooking to an on-line recipe. I'm also a model builder and have a second stand on my workbench so I can reference photos/web sites etc. when working on a model. Sturdy, versatile and never disappoints, politicians should be such!! Read more
