3M Adjustable Document Copy Holder, In-line with Monitor Minimizing Head and Neck Movement, 150 Sheet Capacity Holds Sheets to Books, Elastic Line Guide Keeps Pages Open, 14" Wide, Black (DH630) - Black/Clear

This holder works well now that I have adjusted it. The parts came assembled wrong for how I wanted to use it. I have a desk for my monitor but place the keyboard tray on my lap so having the page support hang down worked great. I have to type quotes from various sizes of books and being able to have them between my keyboard and monitor works great! This model the DH630 does not come with weights. I did not want to use the adhesive on my desk so I re-purposed the lead weights from my exercise weights (2 Lbs each), putting them in baggies (I hear it is not a good idea to handle lead with your bear hands) and then just balancing them across the desk supports of the stand. Maybe small canned goods or fishing lead weights would work too. The elastic line was too light to use on my books so I raided my sewing supplies for some 3/8 inch elastic. For now I just tied it horizontally around the stand, knotting it in the back. It works great! It keeps the book open and is elastic enough to easily lift up and take the book out to turn pages. I used it on a 425 page larger paperback book and it was stable and firm.The provided elastic line will work great for individual papers. I'm so glad to find and use this, it really helps! Thank-you 3M!

Strong and does the job. Can even accommodate my laptop. Reduces neck strain and wide enough for additional document and even books. I love this item.

Use it everyday, the little elastic piece to hold the papers won't really stay on, but I don't need it.

I had the larger version of this at my old job, unfortunately I never got it back. The larger one was substantially more sturdy. I actually thought that was the one I ordered again until it came. It does function for what I want though. I don't have a ton of space on my desk, so size-wise it is fine. I did not use the legs that came with it or the sticky pads, I need to be able to move it around some. The parts that hold the shield have rubber buttons on them so it does not slide around. I am not sure it is worth almost $40 though.

As others have mentioned, the first impression I got when I opened this holder is, cheap.The instructions weren't that great, but it didn't take much to figure out how to set it up.My major problem with this other than the quality is that it is wonky. It is hard to adjust the holder to be perfectly level and in the correct position considering the left and right adjustments are independently adjusted.. Especially if you plan to have it hand over the edge of a desk like is shown in some of the pictures.Same goes for getting the angle perfect.All in all, I cant say this thing is worth the $30 I paid on sale, let alone $50.Granted, the main purpose I wanted to use it for was for an iPad pro, which it does hold decently once I get it in the correct position. But I was hoping to frequently alter the angles depending on the task (reading, watching, drawing, typing...)It works nice for all those, but I not useful enough to make me want to constantly fuss around with getting it perfect.

I love that this item is adjustable with the slant so that you can get a good angle for the documents to stay upright in the tray. Not to mention it does have a band to keep the documents upright in the tray as well. The width is perfect for those documents that are landscaped and are 8 1/2 x 11. Bought this for tax season and this is going to make life so much easier!

I purchased this document holder because I work in the office all day at my computer, which has become a problem for my posture recently. This allows me to maintain good posture while I review documents and paperwork at my desk. Everything is kept at eye level, prefect for sitting up straight! It comes with a little string attachment that acts as an on-page ruler, but I found that it comes off the holder easily once you start moving it frequently. I wish that the string ruler would stay on, but that isn't enough of a nuisance to warrant a lower rating. This stands easily in front of the computer monitor without blocking the screen. Granted, I have my screen raised up higher for my posture. It isn't bulky and works perfectly at my desk. If you spent several hours at your computer all day looking at paperwork, you need this in your life!

I have stuck this to my desk with the included adhesive strips. The legs just kind of sit in there, though, so they don't stay even/level with each other easily. The angle adjustment is kind of a pain, too. It is a knob on either side that you have to turn, adjust the holder, then tighten the knobs. It is really easy for the legs and/or the holder itself to go wonky. I had to prop it up against my monitor riser (you can see it a bit in the first pic--it's the wooden thing behind the document holder) to keep it from going too off-balance. It doesn't work for the top third or so of documents in portrait orientation. I didn't have too much trouble aligning the left and right sides of the guide but now that I have had it for 6 months or so, the clips holding the guide pop off frequently and just this morning, one of the plastic bits that holds the guides in place broke off. I have circled where the piece broke off (left side of second pic) and what it SHOULD look like (right side of second pic). Definitely not worth almost $40.
