The short version
A cheap ABS dock that folds flat and does the desk job. It creaks, and it never leaves the desk.
Good for
- A second desk stand
- Small tablets
- Spending under ten dollars
Not for
- Daily carry
- Kitchen or car use
- Anyone who hates plastic ratchets
First impressions
Light in the hand in a way that reads as cheap. The angle range is genuinely wide and easy to set, and the airflow gap behind a tablet is a thoughtful touch.
Build and materials
Moulded ABS throughout with a ratcheting back leg. The silicone pads are the best part of the design; the ratchet is the part that will eventually annoy you.
Living with it
It is a desk accessory. On a hard desk with a small tablet it is stable and cheap enough to buy two. On a counter it slides once anything wet gets under the pads.
What owners report
Tap testing was fine at shallow angles and marginal past 80°, where a heavy tablet wants to walk the stand backwards. The ratchet clicked louder at the end of the six weeks than at the start.
Care and cleaning
Keep the ratchet teeth clean. Do not force the leg past its stops.
