Review on 📱 Adjustable Foldable Aluminum Stand for Large iPads, iPad Pros (12.9 & 11), iPad Air, iPad Mini, iPhone 11 Pro Max XS XR, E-Readers | TechMatte by John Mahfood

Other reviewers seem to have issues with the mechanism. Why make a one-piece aluminum base but not make the mechanism one-piece? However, I had no problems with it. I prefer the Supcase Unicorn Beetle with a built in screen protector so I bought one of these for my new 2017 iPad. I was hesitant to buy this stand for them, concerned that the edge of the supcase would not slide into the 'edge' of the stand - the same issue one reviewer had with the Otterbox case. Luckily, this stand and case work well together. , but I preferred to lay the aluminum surface down and support the tablet by folding back the plastic flap on the back. Works great and more stable. And I'm sure you could even do it with an Otterbox case. Overall I am very happy with the product and have bought two extras to keep in different places in my house. Set it up once and you're done. ----- ## UPDATE ## WARNING ## UPDATE ## WARNING ## I bought three of these and they were four months old in total. One down, two go. I sat down at my desk the other day and noticed that the plastic piece now moves freely without pressing the button on the left. I took the whole thing apart to find out what happened. Imagine you take a steel rod with a plastic bar glued to one end. The end of the handle resembles a gear, and its narrow body is like a tube with four long, narrow protrusions that move left to right in guide slots in a large moving plastic part when you press the "button". . From the left. This will release the "gear" from the insert in the main aluminum component, allowing you to move the large plastic piece forward or backward. When you release the "button" the lugs slide to the left in the guide slots and the "gear" falls back into its socket, locking the plastic part. Now imagine that in your family there is a teenage gangster who is interested in various knick-knacks on your desk and studies them all while you are not working. Not noticing that there is a button on the left side but knowing that the stand is adjustable, he strains until the plastic flap moves freely without pressing the button. Then he shrugs his massive shoulders, puts the coaster back on your table and happily walks on. Upon disassembly you will find that all four plastic tabs have broken off the latch and are stuck in their respective guide slots. There is absolutely no way to make amends or find a solution. Now that thing is just a gear-shaped object with a sleek cylindrical body, and the premium aircraft-grade aluminum tablet stand you admire has been reduced to a useless piece of junk. For $3 more, they could have made a METAL thing instead of a plastic thing, resulting in a durable, high quality, and amazing product. Of course, if they did, they would sell as much and no more, right? NOT CORRECT! I wanted to buy another one for work. Remember when you were a kid and you got a new toy and it lasted a week and then you kind of broke a little piece of plastic off it and completely shut it down forever? As long as there is plastic and as long as there is China, we can always think back to those wonderful days of our youth. --------------------------- ---------------------------------- SECOND UPDATE: two killed, one left! I accidentally placed my computer case on one of the last two stands. Later it turned out that I broke it! DAMN for knowing how and why it broke! Cheap, P-poor design! I feel like I'll just rip the last one off and be done with it. It's only a matter of time!
