Tryone Gooseneck Kindle&Tablet Holder for Bed Hands-Free Reading on Bed Headboard for iPad, Kindle, and Switch, Flexible 30in Al-Mg Alloy Clamp Arm Stand for Tablets 4.7-10.5 in, Phone - Black - 30in

____________________________________________Disclaimer______________________________________________________ First let me say that I purchased this item from amazon and was in no way compensated by this company for this review. I have had dealings with their customer support and it is for that reason that even with the short coming of this item, they have received a 5 star rating. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ok, so I have seen some of the criticisms of this stand/holder and they range from complaints about the plastic to the stiffness, and or bounciness of this item. First: yes, it has plastic, if you don't want plastic, find another product that is going to cost you much more and provide none of the flexibility of this product. Second: Is the flexible part stiff and hard to shape... yes... but if it were not so then it would sag every time you used it. Third: is it bouncy... yes.. what do you expect? it is an ADJUSTABLE arm that can be put into most any shape withing reason. How it is that people would expect anything different is beyond comprehension. Fourth: Does it break... yes... anything will break if you apply to much force or in the case of this stand, at the base where the clamp is. This apparently is not common sense so people need to be told to not be overly aggressive with something at its weakest point. Rant over! I have had it for a couple of months now and here is my take on it, It is a nice item to have and once I played with it for a bit I found a shape (spiral) that best suited my use. It is a bit springy which makes touch screen a bit of a pain but it also allows us to use it in unconventional places where a normal stand type would not work. I originally purchased it for my iPad, unfortunately, the clamp is not deep enough to hold my iPad [ http://a.co/d/6SAqD3G ] in its protective case [ http://a.co/d/4vSKCrf ] because in the back of the case is a hand strap and kickstand. I then decided to see if it would work for my wife's Surface pro, and it did, so it currently resides on the headboard of our bed on my wife's side where she mounts the surface pro so she can watch videos with here headphones on instead of turning on the TV. The weight of the surface pro is not an issue and there is no sag. I shaped the arm into a spiral shape and pressed the rings closely together to minimize the springiness of it. While not perfect, it works extremely well, all my wife does is hold one corner of the tablet while using the touch screen with the other. I eventually got a follow up message from this company in regards to the item and whether or not I am happy with it. I explained the issue with my ipad case but that my wife uses it for her surface pro. They quickly got back to me and offered to take the item back for a full refund since it did not meet my needs. Now for those that complain about this product, I have only one question, did you contact customer support? I understand that there are going to be problem units, but I also know that people will complain just to complain. I wholly support putting information out about a bad product and have done so on occasion myself but I always add that the issue I had is based on one unit that I received and may not reflect the product as a whole. I have no complaints about this product or this company, I have purchased two products from them and have yet to see any of the issues others have complained about. Maybe i'm lucky but I think that it has more to do with managing expectations and not abusing the products. I highly recommend this product for two reasons, first, it is actually a very good product that is durable as long as you are not heavy handed when using it. Two, they have taken a page out of the amazon customer service handbook and made it better. Their customer service is amazingly responsive, professional and courteous. I would and will buy from this company again because I know that if the product is not up to my standards then they are willing to make things right within reason. A big thumbs up for a very cool product and the amazing customer service rep Kevin that deserves a raise for dealing with a difficult person like me. I hope this review helped Oh yeah, one last thing, the clip (that holds your table or phone depending on which one you get) uses a very strong spring which is needed to hold things in place. It is made of plastic which keeps the weight down and keeps the arm from sagging, this plastic will eventually break if you allow it to snap shut when you remove you phone or tablet. If you don't want it to break then use a little common sense and don't allow it to snap closed, that should be a no brainer but from looking at some of the reviews, apparently it needs to be said out loud.

positives - well made, sturdy/stiff goose-neck, easy on/off slider for tablet, large mounting clamp, many ways to adjust, versatile negatives - NONE i got my mom a kindle hd8 tablet All-New Fire HD 8...

I bought this to use with the Amazon Fire Tablet 7 and the tablet is actually just a bit short of fitting the clamp horizontally. By that I mean viewing the tablet in landscape with the clamp arms on the top and bottom. This isn't an issue for me as I used a very thin piece of foam to make it grip the tablet firm enough for my use. Besides my use of this with the Fire Tablet 7 I have found that it also works great with the iPad Mini as well as the iPad Pro 9.7. The clamp and gooseneck are strong enough to hold the tablet in place very well and especially if you follow the instructions and loop the gooseneck. The gooseneck is appropriately stiff enough to hold its place under the weight of the iPad Pro 9.7. The clamp seems reasonably well made but I do wonder how long it will hold up to being used on a tablet as large as the iPad Pro 9.7. The gooseneck seems durable for the longterms and is easily the strongest part of this stand. The table clamp has been sturdy and although it is plastic, it does feel very strong. I was also impressed that it opens enough to attach to very thick tables of around 3 inches plus in width. The one issue that I don't think you can really get around with a gooseneck is that when you tap the touchscreen of the tablet, it will shake quite a bit. Regardless of whether or not you loop the gooseneck, it will bounce if you start tapping the screen and it can get a bit frustrating. If you lightly hold the tablet in place while you press it, then it is fine but if you're constantly tapping on the screen then you are better off just holding the tablet. If you wanted to just watch a video on it or maybe read a recipe then this stand would be great for it. While I don't have the Nintendo Switch I do plan on getting it and really see a benefit to using this stand with it. I didn't buy this for the switch and it wasn't even labelled as a product for the Switch when I bought it but it really can work well to stand it at better heights and angles while you hold the controllers. Also you can plug the USB C power chord into the Switch while it is in the stand thanks to cutouts on the clamp. This kind of stand might be a must have for the Nintendo Switch but I will share when I am able to use it with one. So far I really like it and thought the price was reasonable for what you get. I'll report back should this not hold up to the test of time and I will follow up with some pictures but for now I can recommend it for the price.

I use this gooseneck tablet holder with my iPad mini attached to my bed frame, and it works great. It’s very sturdy and has a strong grip, so I don’t worry about it slipping or falling. I really like that it toggles, allowing me to view my iPad in different directions and angles. The neck is a bit hard to move, but that’s actually a good thing since the iPad is heavy—it doesn’t sag or droop at all once positioned. Overall, a solid and reliable tablet holder that does exactly what I need.

Using this to hold my Kindle. Tested on 10th Generation iPad. Good = Does attach and stay attached (so far) to the desk I'm using. Bad = It does however slide around when moving it in a side to side motion. Up and down is fine. It will come off the desk if you move it too much so definitely keep a grip on the base if you do. Good = Arm is strong and stable. Bad = VERY hard to manipulate into position and can be a little wobbly. (not a big issue for me since i use a remote page turner) Good = Works well with a case on the Kindle (2022 release) & 10th generation iPad with case. Case I use : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BGH7PRJZ?ie=UTF8&th=1 Bad = None I can see unless you have a really thick case. Other: Holder part is decent but doesn't seem to have a huge range of motion, but overall the product itself isn't too bad. It does what it claims but I don't think I'd buy this one again if I ever need to replace it.

Great Great

I'm working on a project & find it satisfying to work in bed with my lap table. This gadget just gave me the biggest upgrade!!! I absolutely LOVE THIS EXTENDER!!! I can now work on 3 devices giving me quick access to info that I need. It saves sooooo much space, holds my tablet in position without wobbling, I can adjust it anyway i need, it adjust at ANY angle I need, and it is SOLID!! It looks cool, and TOTALLY WORTH THE MONEY!!! I will be getting another one to add one more device! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

This tablet holder is a great tool to free up your hands. It also encourages better posture as I am no longer looking down. I gave this product four stars because the flexible arm could stand to be at least three inches longer. A lot of reviews I read prior to making this purchase, said that they coiled the flexible arm to provide more strength. If I were to coil mine, it would be way to short and I would end up looking down again, defeating the main purpose, holding head up for better posture and to rid myself of neck pain. The clamp is very strong, but easy to screw onto your bed’s head or side board or a nightstand. The flexible arm is very stiff and I have to use both hands to adjust the arm. The snap plate that holds the phone or iPad, is also very tight and provides a good, safe hold. The iPad is a little wobbly, but it is not going anywhere. Overall this is a great product and I will probably buy another to put in the living room.
