I use this to support my 12.9 inch iPad Pro to create digital art in apps like Procreate and Clip Studio. I have a fairly heavy hand when I draw, and it's strong enough to support one of my main hands so I can use external keyboard shortcuts with the other. I've had it for a few months now and it shows no major signs of wear. I managed to scratch the plastic (on the back, where it's not visible), but that was during a move and I didn't pack it carefully, so I call that user error :) Just note that plastic parts are more prone to abrasion. As far as looks go, the quality I've seen is as close to the apple as you can get. The white plastic doesn't go that well with the aluminum body, but that's not the part you're looking at, so I can't disagree. The only downside I see is also its biggest upside, which is that it's heavy and durable. I wouldn't go for this model if you want something portable to take to work or school every day, but it's compact enough to take with you when you travel. It's worth noting that my iPad has a thin smart cover. It fits well not much more room (perhaps a quarter of an inch) if you have something bulkier - 9 inches is the maximum width for this stand.
