SAMHOUSINGTablet Floor Stand, Adjustable Universal 360-degree Rotatable Metal Tablet Holder, Phone Stand for iPad/iPhoneX/iPad Pro or Other 4.7~12.9 Inch-Screen Devices (Black)

Arrived quickly as you would expect, well packed and easy to assemble. Very sturdy platform with a rubber base means no slippage at all. I use this to hold my Galaxy tab over a Yamaha keyboard, great flexibility in movement and I had no problem getting it exactly where and how I wanted without compromise. Holds the tablet very well with minimal movement when using, trick is in the arm position to maintain high stability. Really is a useful and good quality item and will probably buy another for other uses. Most of my band have suddenly decided they need one as it is discreet yet sturdy enough to use on stage. Well worth the money

When I ordered it I thought it would be of low quality but for the low price I was amazed at how good this item is. Holds my 13 inch Samsung tablet with no problem at all. Very sturdy and well designed. Would highly recommend

Really easy to assemble, could be assembled and disassembled in 30 seconds or so, so not a problem if it needs to be packed away. The base has a nice foam pad on the bottom to avoid scratching floors.The mechanism is strong enough to keep my 12.9” iPad Pro in place, though is a bit wobbly when touching the screen, but that’s to be expected really. I brace it with my other hand while tapping on the screen, but primarily bought it for watching the iPad in bed rather than needing to keep touching the screen.I can fit it underneath my bed which then stops it from tipping forward but if I wasn’t doing that, I think it would need a small dumbbell weight or similar on the base to stop it tipping over. I imagine it would be totally fine for smaller tablets or phones.The arm could do with being just a few inches longer to reach the middle of the bed when the pole is placed to the side, the base could be a bit heavier, the clamp for the device could be reworked to add rubber to the grips so the device isn’t damaged and it could be a little easier to insert large devices but overall you really can’t complain much for the price paid (£16.99 in my case)

After getting (and breaking) at least two bendy type ipad holders in the past, I opted for this metal spring lever holder. And it was a good choice because the holder is sturdy and light. Does the job perfectly. Easy to put.together also.

This is an arm saver! Was fed up with trying to prop up my Kindle all the time then it slipping down so got this. Holds it good and sturdy. Easy to position

Was looking at getting a Skylight calendar and chore organiser. Then thought, why spend all that additional money and subscription when I can buy this stand for my iPad that I can use in a very similar way. Ideal for use with iPad or tablet. Wanted something I could use for holding my iPad when using kindle reader and was in close range for calendar and chore management. Easy to move around in case I want to use it to watch films in bed. Holds very well. Can be adjusted with ease. Currently positioned by my reading chair. I can walk up, pull the screen up and amend my calendar, mark of chores or research with ease. I love it.

For me, this is a mixed bag. It has some brilliant features, but is let down by an equal amount of disappointing ones. Which is a pity, as most of them feel like oversight at the prototype stage, which could have been easily sorted.On the positive side, it feels very sturdy, and I do think that the lamp-arm style of holder is far more solid than the aluminium gooseneck type, which really can’t hold the weight of an iPad, are notoriously difficult to bend and, being aluminium, eventually snap.The black finish is nice in terms of looks, and the springs on the arm are sufficient to hold the weight. I also haven’t had any problems with the little ball and socket at the back of the tablet holder, which can take all the weight of the tablet without complaining.On the minus side, mine came with a stripped thread to the hole which tightens the lamp arm onto the body, so I’m never able to tighten it and the whole top arm swings freely with no way to anchor it. So every time I touch the screen, I have to use my other hand to stop the top arm and my iPad from swinging loosely away from me.The clamp at the end of the arm which holds the tablet in place is either ridiculously hard to open if you use it top-to-bottom, making me live in fear for my ipad’s screen, or if you use it side-to-side it can’t quite hold the weight of a standard iPad Air, and so you have the comedic sight of your iPad slipping gradually down through it, like watching your drunk workmate at the office party, who’s back is to the wall whilst they slide slowly to the ground. The only way I could stop this was to stick a big hunk of blue-tack on the back of my tablet.Next is that it claims in big letters to 369 degree turn, but in fact the instructions warm you in bold text not to ever position the arm anywhere except over the offset base pad, or the unit will topple over. And it’s true; the base is way too light to counterweight the arm and your tablet. If you extend the arm at all in in almost any direction, you’re going to have the whole tablet holder keel over. The upper arm needs to remain -exactly- over the base at all times, which really isn’t practical—and it’s certainly not 360 degree rotation, as claimed. It’s even less stable on carpets. I’m fortunate in that I’m able to wedge the offset base under my bed’s divan base, so although it tries to fall over constantly, the divan base holds it upright. I’ve also used the base from my previous tablet holder as a kind of ballast a few times, by placing it on top of this holder’s base, increasing the weight enough to make it workable (though the question remains, if the manufacturer of my previous, smaller tablet holder knew they needed a base that is literally four times heavier than this one, why did the manufacturer of this one think this’d be fine?) This was both obvious and easy to fix; the base needed to be heavier - a lot heavier. But that probably would have upped the shipping cost per unit, so they went with this one.Finally the main stalk is way too high at 87cm. Yes, you can bend the arm down, but good grief it’s like a wrestling match if you want to try! It would have been so very easy to sort out by simply dividing the main pole into two pieces which slide one inside the other to control the entire unit height with ease, fastened at the desired height with a key-end nut like the one at the top of the stand (only use one that works, unlike mine) It would have made the whole thing so much more easily alterable.So put a heavier base on it so that it actually can rotate 360 as claimed, make the main pole sectional, and choose a tablet holder that couldn’t double as a chest extender for Arnold Schwarzenegger. None of this is rocket science, nor is it beyond manufacturing capabilities at this price-line. That’s what makes me mad; it could have been great; head and shoulders above the competition. As it is, it’s clonky, very awkward, and gives you a full upper body workout every time you use it.All in all I’d say, probably buy this style of tablet holder instead of a gooseneck, but if you get this one, expect to have some issues.EDIT: The seller reached out to me after I left this review and offered a full refund, which was a very generous gesture, and I must admit does give me faith in the seller, if not this particular product. I can't raise the star rating for this review, but for this seller, I'd say they seem to have good values and I'd feel comfortable ordering other items from them in future.
