At first I was a bit disappointed because I thought the stand is not enough tablet. I was wrong. My tablet is very secure even in a case and the stand is very stable and big enough to hold my tablet. There are handles on the underside to prevent sliding on the countertop. I bought a stand because holding my phone and tablet required my hand and I needed something portable and durable to hold my tablet so I didn't have to. This holder is exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend it.
