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.

Great price for what you get! It’s VERY sturdy, the flexible arm is also study and I don’t worry about it dropping down due to weight. An issue with past items like this. :) very happy!

Works good for my phone, but I initially got it to hold a switch 2 that has a thin case on it. The clamp part isn't deep enough or have enough grip to hold it super securely. It can work if you tilt it so the screen is facing more up, but straight on or even facing down would not be recommended. The switch 2 will fall out. But the construction of the arm is good, it keeps its shape really well, overall a good product. I just wish there was a deeper clamp head to use for a wider range of devices.

I love using this to read and scroll on my phone. It avoids giving you tech neck.

I bought this to hold my kindle fire while in bed; in part because of the reasonable price and its reviews. The gooseneck is quite strong and sturdy as advertised; and it does take a bit of strength to manipulate/adjust it for desired use, distance from my face, etc.... So, the advertisement was clear about this and I had no issues with that aspect of this stand. However, the foot mechanism is plastic. The foot mechanism has not been made sturdy-enough for the intended use in bed. I guess it would be 'sufficient' if someone were to initially set it up and then never manipulate nor adjust it ever again. But that just doesn't fit the use case for purchasing such a thing. I lay on my back, as well as on both sides for viewing/reading my kindle fire. Generally, the range of motion was sufficient to turn, adjust the kindle fire tablet in the stand to where I needed it to be to see/read; or to push it way up and out of my way so I could then go to sleep. I would adjust the position of my kindle fire 10" to be useable/viewable while laying down, or on my side, but the plastic food mechanism simply wasn't strong enough to FIRMLY hold the stand to my headboard for varied use. The problem I encountered was that every 3rd or 4th time I would adjust the stand, it was coming off my headboard. Meaning the foot mechanism wasn't remaining FIRMLY clamped into place---regardless of how tightly I screwed it down. I'd have to get up, loosen it, replace it where it belonged and then tighten it down again. After numerous re-adjustment attempts and tightening the turn knob (what else would it be called?) the plastic parts for the foot mechanism just shattered. I believe there is a mixture of responsibility in poor design and my application of force to attempt to get it to stay firmly in place that lead to the breakage. I have not returned the unit nor filed for a refund as I believe I am partly responsible. However, I've begun to look for a replacement that will have a significantly stronger foot mechanism. Good luck. Thank you. R, -Joe Wulf

Good arm for the price. havent had any issues with it breaking as many others have said, i can see how that can happy since the clip is plastic, just make sure you dont over tighten. i have a 10" tablet connected to it, and it holds it up just fine, zero issues, very stable. the arm is hard to bend, so you gotta put some force behind it, just make sure you hold it with both hands while you try to bend and position it, or you maybe snap the plastic clamp just by doing that. once you get it in position it stays, it might wiggle a bit, but it stays.

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 Tablet, 8" HD Display, Wi-Fi, 16 GB - Includes Special Offers, Black this last year. she has bad arthritis in her hands and even as light as the tablet is after no time her hands start to lock up and she has to put it down. i had tried a different style holder before but that didn't work out for her needs. so i thought to try this hoping for the best. that said I am the one who gets to put things together for her. the first thing i noticed was how stiff the goose-neck was. that is a very good thing for stability. granted it takes a bit to get it bent to where you want it but once done it will absolutely stay put. no slumping over, no brittle material, just the perfect material for this or any goose-neck. as for the table clamps they are actually large enough to do the job with confidence. the desk clamp can be placed vertically or horizontally depending on the edge you are to screw it down onto. the part which holds the tablet itself has a simple spring loaded slider mechanism. you just pull one side or the other out, put the tablet in and let go, held firmly in place. you can then adjust your tablet side to side and or back and forward to get the best viewing angle. so there you go. thankfully she is able to use this one and i'm happy to finally have one that works for her. fyi i have her use it with a folding table Winsome Wood TV Tray Set that she can put where ever she may be.

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.

El brazo es bastante duro, incluso un poco difícil de moldear, pero está bien porque aguanta el peso y queda estable. Pero OJO: El iPhone solo entra horizontalmente. No es lo mejor si lo que pretende es usarlo como "tripié" para grabar o tomar fotos con el móvil, pues el agarre es tan ancho que cubre la cámara/pantalla. Se puede ajustar para evitar esto, pero resulta incómodo de operar. Fuera de eso, excelente.

Good quality, very strong and versatile.

Good value, strong neck so I don't worry anything will fall over. Really enjoying not having to balance my iPad mini

Quería usarlo para mi nintendo switch, pero mejor no ya que me llegó un artículo que no es el de las fotos y tampoco es de la marca, ni la caja ni el producto tienen el logo o el nombre de la compañía por ningún lado, el tubo se siente muy resistente lo demás no, en especialmente la pieza que agarra los aparatos, se siente frágil, adjunto fotos para que ustedes juzguen antes de comprar, si no lo devuelvo es porque tendría que salir a correos y hay pandemia, muy decepcionada con esta compra.

El brazo es muy rígido y complicado de ajustar. Además produce mucha vibración
