MAX SMART Upgrade Tablet Hand Grip Holder Stand for Tablet Drawing Reading Working Writing Free Angles Hanging on

This thing is vital for big and small tablets. I have cases with stands, but noting comes close to this in terms of versatility. You can use this horizontally, vertically, adjust the angle as you like, use it with one hand, or even hang it somewhere. You can even use this to watch a movie with one hand while lying down, although you must have strong hands and have to change hands after a while, but it is an essential stand for my everyday use. I'm not drawing with my tablet, but this is something I will take with me everywhere, if you do use your tablet for drawing, this is a must. Read more

This is the best option I've been able to find for my iPad pro to hold it securely without fear of a drop, as well as provide many options for how to hold/articulate it with my hand(s) or put it on a surface. I can sit in bed or on the couch with the ring over my knee in portrait mode, and it's very stable for both swiping and typing. Surprisingly so. The base of the tablet rests on the front of the leg right above the knee joint (well, it's actually below if you are sitting), and it's very sturdy. The only negative I have found is that the "click" rotation has loosened after only a week of use, which is a little disappointing. The price is good, especially given the fact that you get two different size brackets. But it would be nice if they sold just the rotating part by itself so you could have an extra and even be able to use both brackets instead of having one sit in a drawer. But overall, I'm more impressed with this than most gadgets I buy. Like I said, I just wish the click mechanism would stay solid. That was a nice feel, so with the weakening, the whole product just feels less sturdy. My only other wish is that this had a deeper option on the brackets so you could opt to use it with the common covers for pros that are not removable and just flip around like a book. To use this bracket, I had to take my case off and leave my pro unprotected, which isn't ideal. I did order another kind of case with a removable face cover, so we'll see how that goes. But the fact that I ordered a different caee, and will shelve the nice case I had been using, is a testament to the usefulness of this product. Again, I just haven't seen or found anything quite like this out there. Thumbs up over all! Read more

i like that the tablet is sturdy enough for holding samsung ultra 8 so that i can do 1 arm operation(can hold maybe 10 minutes because weight of the tablet). Also good for 8 inch tablet. My version is tab active 2 water resistant version. Although it appear not fully grip because of the water resistant case(shown in picture). It actually did hold firm the tablet. Very satisfied wih the quality. I never intended to.use this for.stand because I am affraid it maybe become loose overtime. One thing I hope.probably a softer grip for arm comfort. Read more

With enough use, this will break. Don’t waste your money unless they redesign the hinge/“tongue”. Read on for more details. I’ve purchased 2 of these Max Smart Tablet Holder/Stands. Both failed at the hinge/“tongue”. I had hoped the first one was just a dud but after looking over the pieces from both it is clearly a design problem. The hinge is nice and tight, giving it great stability while allowing for very personalised adjustments to the handle angle. This is also where the problem is. It puts a lot of pressure on plastic “tongue” connecting the handle to the rotating head. This plastic tongue is the flaw. Repeated use (angle changes) slowly breaks the tongue and splits it into pieces, destroys the plastic holes for the screws, and/or just breaks off. There needs to be an internal metal piece running from the rotating head to the screw holes on the hinge to reduce the pressure on the plastic tongue. I pulled the pieces apart to see if I could MacGyver something after the fact or if I had a brand new one but I could not find a solution. Read more

I love this for being able to take on and off. It works great when in use. But God forbid you drop it or bump it in any way. It breaks if you look at it the wrong way. I’ve bought it twice and they’ve both broken. The second one I broke I was able to “fix” the tab with some Lexel and that worked until the next time I dropped it and broke off a different tab. I “dropped” it from about 18” in height. The other thing is that it comes in pairs and you can’t just buy the one that fits so now I have 2 grips that don’t fit anything I own and 0 that do. I’m moving on from this and will not be buying again Read more

Context: I’ve worked in IT for 20 years. I love computers since I was 8 years old. I’ve had them all, commodore, Atari, IBM PC, hp, acer, Linux desktops, Linux servers, Windows Servers, Lenovo, Apple Mac… and the best personal computer ever created, for me, is the iPad Pro. So, around 6 years ago I discovered that the best way to use my iPad Pro is to attach it to a keyboard like the Magic Keyboard for work, and for everything else, to hold it with one hand using —something—. My best trick was to use a kickstand that I clunked into making it magnetic, so it attached to the back of my iPad and allowed me to use it with one hand holding it securely and comfortably. It was awesome but looked horrible. A clunker. Plus, it didn’t protect the bottom edge of my iPad when on a table leaning on the kickstand. Then after a lot of search I found this thingy. Very well manufactured, good plastics, but above all VERY WELL DESIGNED. I’m an inventor myself and I know that a lot of design and iterations went into this gadget. It fits perfectly my iPad Pro M4 13”. It is great as a kickstand an as a one hand holder. I’m in awe. Read more
