I chose this stand for its all-metal construction (except for the stand). It's well done! The cervix at home can be viewed both vertically and horizontally before clamping, which I didn't know. Well! The stand is wide enough to fit the Note 8 lengthwise, giving me full access to the phone's power and volume buttons. There are holes in the arms of the stand to allow charging while holding the device. This stand does everything for me. Big!
