Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a clever device with flawless engineering. Yes, it could be made of titanium or aluminum, but unless you plan on throwing it into the primate cage at the zoo, the plastic seems properly reinforced and strong enough for its intended purpose. My interest was to find a compact vertical orientation standing device to use with both small and large tablets, since we have a Kindle Keyboard, a PaperWhite and an original Fire as well as a Google Nexus 7 and a couple of Nexus 10s. This stand works just fine for horizontal orientation as well, but I never use mine that way. This device scores in the 10-ring for all my devices, both in and out of the cases. I only take mine out of the cases to change to another or for cleaning. The horizontal arms have three detents. I used the widest detent for the Nexus 10, and the middle detent for all other smaller devices. The narrowest detent is the closed (folded up) position. I didn't count the detents on the vertical arm where it joins the base (many), but it ratchets to positions that would satisfy any conceivable need. The vertical arm is divided in half by a joint with four detents allowing for the adjustment of the flat upper part of the arm so you can have it rest flush on the back of your device. I have added pictures of Nexus 7 and 10 and for Kindle Fire in the stand. I initially adjusted the arm for the larger tablet, and didn't bother to change it for the smaller devices, and it worked fine that way. (Edit note: Though all 6 pics seemed to UL OK, I see that Amazon is only displaying 3 of the 6. Oh, well.) I put my Galaxy Note 2 in it (vertically) just to check the fit, and it's fine! I hadn't thought of that until I received my stands. I'm ordering a third one tonight so I can keep on my desk for the phone, instead of just laying it flat. Both of the horizontal arms have a soft, tacky black anti-skid insert over in the entire length of their bottoms. Very effective. This same material is applied on the outside surface of the resting grooves cut into the top of the arms. Once again, very effective. The flat articulating surface of the upper half of the vertical arm has this same material applied to it. I used all of the devices in the stand, swiping vigorously horizontally and vertically, and the devices always remained secure in the stand, and did not slide on the surface of the counter. I bought two of these, one for my wife. Five stars because I can't find one thing to complain about.
