When I travel, I use a 15.6" external monitor for additional screen space. Because I'm reading documents that are written in a portrait-oriented format, I turn the monitor on its end. The monitor that I have has all the jacks and controls on the short sides (that would be, the right and the left if I were using landscape orientation), which can be a challenge once the monitor is rotated. Plan A was the case/stand that came with the monitor. That was no good because a) it lacks support in the upper half of the monitor, and b) it requires the monitor to rest on the table surface, which blocks the input ports. Plan B was to use a hinged wooden plate holder that I found in the attic. It did give access to the ports, but provided very little support and it was wobbly. Very, very wobbly. Plan C was a cute laptop stand that looks like two skis with an x hinge in the middle. It was lightweight for travel, and set up easily but did not give access to the ports. That brings us to this product, the Pepper Jobs holder. I was emotionally prepared for it to be another flop but it was a SUCCESS! It is a little heavier than I would have wanted (keeping in mind it will be in my carry on with all the other computer gear on lengthy trips), but it needs that weight to allow the support portion to be lifted off the table... GIVING ACCESS TO THE INPUT PORTS... without losing stability. It doesn't have additional support for the upper part of the monitor, but somehow (maybe because of the weight of the base and good contact area at the base of the monitor) the size of the "backrest" is adequate. My advice - if you struggle with an external monitor that you need to turn to a portrait orientation, try this stand first - you won't be disaapointed, and you'll save yourself a lot of headache (and possibly tipped, scratched monitors and damaged cables along the way too!)

I recently purchased a 12.9 inch iPad Pro instead of yet another laptop. I use my iPad every day for reading and playing music especially, among numerous other useful tasks. I found a very sturdy cover for the entire iPad that is highly protective and has a leather handle on the back which is also useful. I don't want to keep taking this cover on and off. This fold able stand is the answer. Add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, you have the equivalent of a powerful laptop with a very sweet display screen held up at the perfect level for typing or for watching a movie in a hotel room if you are on a trip. This stand is very sturdy. I doubt it will wear out and it certainly supports the 12.9 inch iPad which for weight is a bit of a beast. Read more

As a stand for an iPad Pro 12" with a heavy duty case on it, it works great. Very happy with the purchase. For having such a small footprint its very stable and pretty light weight given what we're asking it to do. Folds down relatively flat for storage, or just move it aside, it's small enough not to take up much desk real estate at all. Pretty stable. Too far back (near vertical) with the platform too far horizontal and gravity will take it backwards, and too far down the weight of my ipad with a heavy case on it, has the thing slowly glide down to land on the base. Sure the hinge could be more rigid, and i've tried some that are very rigid, that wont budge from any position, and that's too rigid to the point that you have to take the ipad off it to wrestle it into some into a new position, so maybe that's the trade off. But for that middle to upper middle rage sweet spot, or all the way down, it's perfect. The telescoping arms lock in at the highest position, but not anywhere else. Non-slip pads on the platform and base work great. Nice finish. So far, totally recommend it. Read more

Bought this for my small portable LCD screen because the cover that screen came with did not work very well to prop it up. I use this for working from home when I need a second screen for my work laptop. This does the job very nicely. Read more

Works great a first, but after a while the support will not hold the iPad at the set height, but slowly sinks to the lowest level. Also the tabs that hold the iPad are not very strong and now my iPad leans to the left. Read more

The stand is exactly as described. Shipped and arrived quickly and was packaged securely. I use the stand for my 15", 2-pound, portable monitor. The stand can be adjusted to different heights and angles. It is very sturdy and holds my 2-pound monitor with no issue. The stand also has rubber grips on it so the monitor does not slide around and stays in place. Very happy with this purchase. Read more

A few of the reviews mentioned that the stand collapsed under the weight of the portable monitor. Thus far, the stand seems super sturdy and holds my monitor just fine (1.5lbs). I love that the stand folds down for easy packing and traveling. Would recommend. Update: 2 years later they still hold up. We lived in a camper and put our work stuff away every day (including these stands). They still don't fall down. Good purchase. Read more
