StarTech com Tablet Stand - Universal iPad Stand - for 4 7 to 12 9 Tablets - iPad

Yes, you need an allen key to tighten the hinges after a few months, but I have only had to do that once in 2 years. I use it and readjust it multiple times every day and am really surprised that there isn't more tightening needed with all that turning and flipping. These are really high-quality and very versatile items. Read more

The design of this stand is the best on the market -- it is lightweight, can be wall/desk mounted, and can be tilted to any angle. Also, it is easy to remove the tablet from the spring-loader "gripper" However, there are two serious flaws: 1) When you move the arm, the socket screws loosen themselves, which causes the frame to droop. This can be solved by adding LockTite to the screws, to hold them in place. 2) One of the socket screws stripped after a few months, preventing further tightening. Now, I have to to throw it away, and buy a new one. If you buy this product, remember to be very gentle. Read more

I bought this to mount my DRO tablet for my mini milling machine so it had an adjustable arm. The arm works just fine, it is just that when you use the touch screen on the tablet the whole arm/tablet will wobble a bit. Read more

I have purchased several of these units over the years and have had to return half of them. These units have problems but if you get a good one it is worth keeping. JAW SPRING PROBLEM: The springs inside the jaws that hold the tablet break loose rendering the jaws inoperable. PIVOT JOINT PROBLEMS: Attached to the last arm hinge is a pivot to which the jaws attach. Pivot friction is adjusted by a tiny Allen socket head screw. This screw works loose and must be re-tightened every month or so. When tightening the tiny Allen head is easily stripped rendering the friction adjustment impossible. This is a design flaw, a much larger screw with a deeper head is needed. The pivot joint always has slop. No matter how tight you make the screw there will be a little wobbly slop before the friction movement is reached. ARM HINGE PROBLEMS: On some units you may find that the friction for one or more of the hinge joints will not allow for enough friction to keep the joint steady. Also, the plastic washer bearings in a hinge may fracture and ruin the friction adjustment. Lastly, some units come with sloppy arm hinges that wobble back and forth a bit before the friction movement is engaged. MANUFACTURE/DESIGN: The arm is cast and machined aluminum with a machined steel axle for each hinge and a washer bushing for the jaw pivot. The friction for each hinge and the jaw pivot is adjustable so if your unit is a little sloppy or does not hold in place you can tighten the appropriate socket head screw. The desktop base is heavy with a thick steel plate encapsulated by a hard plastic shell. It has a thin, stiff, closed cell foam pad on the bottom. The bottom plate of the arm has a tab at the front which is trapped by a slot in the plastic base. The back end of the arm bottom plate is then affixed to the encapsulated steel base plate with a thumb screw. This makes for a very secure and effective mounting of the arm to the base. The wall/under-cabinet mount is a steel plate with a plastic cover that accepts the arm bottom plate in the same manner as the desktop base. The jaws are hard plastic and spring loaded. The springs are quite stiff. The jaw face and ends have stiff synthetic rubber pieces glued in place to protect the exterior surface of a bare tablet from the hard plastic. The jaw end rubber pieces are angled to help trap the tablet against the jaw face. TABLET THICKNESS: For some reason every single phone or tablet mount manufacturer annoyingly leaves out one critical dimension -- how thick of a case can the jaws accommodate. The nominal jaw depth on this unit measured out to be approximately 12mm (0.472 inches), so the jaw should be able to accommodate a case that is up to 12mm thick. IF YOUR CASE IS THICKER than 12mm but has a rounded or beveled front edge it may fit. Mine do. Read more
