Nite Ize QuikStand - Compact Smartphone Stand Fits iPhone, Samsung, Small Tablets, and E-readers

Super light, compact, does what it says on the tin. It's quite reasonable to expect to replace this thing eventually, but it's so cheap and it works exactly like I need it to. Be gentle with it and it'll last a long time.

Only miffed that it took so long to find. Astonishing how many half-cooked ideas (and examples) are floating around out there (and I own, lets just say more than a few). So few of these really work; this great little unit is: small (fits easily in wallet), is easy, simple, stable and works remarkably well with my Google Pixel XL 3, in both portrait (up) and landscape (laying down) position. (It also looks good). Really hope it catches on and starts to show up everywhere.... (e.g. drug stores, convenience stores, etc....). *Easily* the best stand out there (that I've found; and I've been looking for over a year.!).

I just got mine today. I was both surprised and impressed! This little gadget stands out, literally 😉 Here, I'm sharing some photos 📸📸 and my first impressions. I will follow up, if needed. Pros 👍👍👍 - Size: It's almost exactly the size and dimensions of a credit card so it fits snugly in my wallet. - Weight: Nite Ize says it's 0.353 oz. I believe them! - Function: No wobble and no shaking. It held my iPhone 13 Pro firmly in place. - Build: It's well thought out and well made. - Value: At $10 MSRP, it's a good buy. - Warranty: On its website, Nite Ize offers "Worry Free Guarantee within two years of the date of original purchase." Cons 👎👎👎 - Even though it has a couple of metal inserts, it feels a bit too delicate. I take good care of my stuff but I don't like to baby them so it remains to be seen if this will hold up over time. My Verdict 🤔 Overall, I like this QuikStand by Nite Ize. It's portable, lightweight, and fairly priced. It works exactly as advertised. Maybe I'm easily amused or maybe I'm just tired of trying to prop up my phone on my coffee cup! I like mine and I have a feeling you will like yours just as much. Hope my review has helped you make a more informed buying decision 👍😊✌️

I bought one of these a number of years ago and it finally wore out. When shopping for a replacement, I saw a knock-off that /looked/ like it might be even better than the original. It had extra slots in the metal piece for seemingly greater configurability. What a mistake that was. After living with it for a couple months, I ponied up to buy the real thing. The knock-off was significantly more flimsy, and not only did it not want to stay open, it wouldn't snap all the way closed, either. It took lots of fumbling to get the phone to actually stay on the stand, and was generally a hassle to use. This stand, on the other hand, stays open with no problem, and when I'm done using it, it snaps closed firmly and stays closed until I want to use it again. It might not /look/ much different, but it feels significantly superior and works much better than the knock-off.

For the price and the size, this phone stand is perfect for using my phone for virtual workout sessions. I like that I can have my cased phone feel secure in both portrait and landscape positions without trying to fandangle it with a water bottle behind it. I like how compact it is, making it easy to always bring along. It fits in my Ridge metal wallet easily, even with all of my IDs, insurance, and credit cards. Happy with the design and functionality of this purchase

At first, I had a surprisingly good impression of this phone stand at the start. I opened the packaging and I was skeptical of how long the thin plastic would last after repeated uses. However, after playing with it for a bit, I felt there was that much strain on the plastic that made up the body and it should last a while. However, I noticed there were two plastic tabs where the aluminum back plate snaps behind to hold it in place when folded up. I was afraid those would snap off eventually - especially since you had to press with a decent amount of force with your thumb to get it to snap. However, it wasnt the tabs that failed, it was the thin aluminum back. I did notice as I was testing opening and closing it, it took an increasing amount of force each time I snapped it closed. The aluminum back is so thin that each time I snapped it closed, it deformed a little. With each deformation, more force was required. After no more than 10 openings and closings, it will not snap closed at all and the aluminum back was visibly bowed. I bent it back, as flat as I could, but the aluminum will no longer snap closed on one side. Even if I could get it to snap again, I have zero faith it wouldnt happen again, repeatedly.

This stand is about the size of a credit card, light and very easy to setup. The design is ingenious. I use this to watch my iPad on commercial airplane flights. It poses my iPad mini at about a 45 degree angle making it much more useful than the standard Apple magnetic case/cover. There are two improvements that if done, would make this perfect. 1) While the angle is adjustable, it doesn't have a large range of angles available. There are many slots to choose from when setting this up, but they only offer a range of angles totaling perhaps 10 degrees. When using this on an airplane seat-back tray, I'd like to position the iPad to about a 30 degree angle. The lowest I can get it is maybe 45 (just a guess). I wish I could adjust it a little lower. If only that aluminum “A” piece were adjustable, or a little shorter ... 2) When the iPad is sitting in this stand, the stand itself is the only thing in contact with the seat-back tray surface. The stand is hard plastic and has very little friction in its footprint. When the airplane is climbing, the iPad will slide right off the tray. If that foot were made of a high-friction rubber, this wouldn't be a problem. Maybe there's something at my local hardware store that can solve this (like rubberized shelving paper). This stand is not compatible with a full-size iPad. The center of gravity for a full-size iPad is too far back for the size of the stand’s foot. The full-size iPad will simply fall backwards.

This is the smallest workable stand I could find for my iPhone 11 (with silicone case) that is roughly the size and weight of a credit card. I didn't have much expectation, but it has managed to be my most used phone stand to date. The plastic flex joints seem pretty tough, and haven't shown much wear in many months. I use this all the time to prop up my phone to play some video for my kid at the restaurant or anytime I need to keep her quiet for extended periods. One nice unexpected feature is that the front flip up lip that secures the stand to the phone will keep the stand attached so I can pick up the phone and the stand stays attached, which is very convenient. Especially since my kid sometimes knocks it around and other stands just let my phone fall out.
