Amazon Basics Adjustable Tablet Holder Portable Stand - Black

Me gustó mucho

It's small and plastic and I can use it with a variety of portable electric devices. There are adjustments for size and angle, and it protects well - the design is great. It is really all I need. I suppose if I paid a lot more, I could get one that has more features and is made of steel, but this little stand has held up fine for months now with no issues. It's a great value for the money. I like that it is so compact that I can carry it in my small cases for my tablets and pull it out when I need it. It was cheap and it does the job very well of holding my devices up at the angle I want them whether they are horizontal or vertical. This was an excellent buy.

This black AmazonBasics Portable Fold-Up Travel Stand is a truly versatile device. It's compact and quite well engineered, and is the perfect portable accompaniment for the Kindle Fire, the legacy Kindle e-book readers, the new iPad or iPad 2, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and probably many more. In my case, I have a Kindle Fire and a Kindle 2, so interchangeability between devices is not only important, but also essential. For those wishing for the quick points, here they arePros:* Can be quickly and easily adjusted into a wide variety of viewing angles* Very sturdy construction; doesn't feel junky or cheap* Quite convenient; folds up to 7 x 1 x 1 inches for good portability* Soft foam-padded surfaces on bottom prevent sliding; won't scratch furniture* Padded grips where the tablet or e-reader sits; keeps device in place; no scratching* Foam padded back support; keeps tablet stable and won't scratch the case* Good IKEA-style simple Quick Start instruction sheet in multiple languages* Frustration-Free Packaging; no irritating plastic clamshell to open when receivedCons:* Very minor point: most devices can't be charged in the vertical (portrait) mode; there's no space for most cable connectorsIn Use:I had picked up the AmazonBasics Mini Travel Stand earlier, and at barely over two inches long have found it excellent for quick field use and extreme portability. Small and very compact, it folds up and snaps shut so that it can put in your pocket (or purse) without taking up much room. That one is good for stable, flat surface locations where there isn't too much activity going on, and I've found it excellent with my Kindle 2 with it's 6-inch display when it's removed from its leather cover. The newer Kindle Touch or any of the newer versions with the 6-inch E Ink display would have no problems with the Mini Travel Stand.At 7 x 1 x 1 inches, the newer AmazonBasics Portable Fold-Up Travel Stand may lack the compactness of the Mini version, but when it comes to outright versatility, this is where it really shines. To begin with, its range of adjustments is exceptionally good, and I did not have to remove the Marware Vibe Case Cover from my Kindle Fire, nor the leather cover from my Kindle 2, in order to use it with this stand. It can be quickly changed in a wide array of positions for viewing, in either the horizontal (landscape) or vertical (portrait) position. And using it with the Kindle Fire, I found that it wasn't moving all over the place when used with a stylus.The foam padding has been placed in all of the crucial areas where it may be needed. The foam-padded surfaces on bottom of the feet prevent sliding, even when being used on a flat surface with a stylus, and it won't scratch your furniture. The adjustable foam-padded back support helps keeps tablet stable in use, and the padded grips where the tablet or e-reader sits add to the stability. This one is designed where it won't scratch the case.Note that there are some other brands, such as the Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand, that may offer a similar design and features as this one, but I personally trust the AmazonBasics products that I've found here as they have a decent guarantee, and based on my experience with one defective item, I do like their responsiveness when things go wrong.Bottom Line:It didn't take me long to figure out that this AmazonBasics Portable Fold-Up Travel Stand would be the default choice for use with my Kindle Fire, and the Mini Travel Stand would be the one for my Kindle 2. Each one has its good points, as you can see here, but that's a subjective choice, so take for what it's worth to you. Admittedly if I had to pick just one I would go with the newer Fold-Up Travel Stand simply because of its overall usefulness and functionality.This AmazonBasics Portable Fold-Up Travel Stand has true Swiss Army knife versatility, and I have no problems recommending this as an excellent product at a very good price.6/8/2012

Works perfect and has held up good

This is a clever device with flawless engineering. Yes, it could be made of titanium or aluminum, but unless you plan on throwing it into the primate cage at the zoo, the plastic seems properly reinforced and strong enough for its intended purpose. My interest was to find a compact vertical orientation standing device to use with both small and large tablets, since we have a Kindle Keyboard, a PaperWhite and an original Fire as well as a Google Nexus 7 and a couple of Nexus 10s. This stand works just fine for horizontal orientation as well, but I never use mine that way.This device scores in the 10-ring for all my devices, both in and out of the cases. I only take mine out of the cases to change to another or for cleaning. The horizontal arms have three detents. I used the widest detent for the Nexus 10, and the middle detent for all other smaller devices. The narrowest detent is the closed (folded up) position. I didn't count the detents on the vertical arm where it joins the base (many), but it ratchets to positions that would satisfy any conceivable need. The vertical arm is divided in half by a joint with four detents allowing for the adjustment of the flat upper part of the arm so you can have it rest flush on the back of your device.I have added pictures of Nexus 7 and 10 and for Kindle Fire in the stand. I initially adjusted the arm for the larger tablet, and didn't bother to change it for the smaller devices, and it worked fine that way. (Edit note: Though all 6 pics seemed to UL OK, I see that Amazon is only displaying 3 of the 6. Oh, well.)I put my Galaxy Note 2 in it (vertically) just to check the fit, and it's fine! I hadn't thought of that until I received my stands. I'm ordering a third one tonight so I can keep on my desk for the phone, instead of just laying it flat.Both of the horizontal arms have a soft, tacky black anti-skid insert over in the entire length of their bottoms. Very effective. This same material is applied on the outside surface of the resting grooves cut into the top of the arms. Once again, very effective. The flat articulating surface of the upper half of the vertical arm has this same material applied to it.I used all of the devices in the stand, swiping vigorously horizontally and vertically, and the devices always remained secure in the stand, and did not slide on the surface of the counter.I bought two of these, one for my wife.Five stars because I can't find one thing to complain about.

I have had mine for approx 8years and I still love it
