Tablet Stand for Bed,360 Degree Rotating Bed Tablet Mount Holder Stand with Aluminum Arm for iPad,iPhoneXS,N-Switch, Amazon Kindle Fire,or Other 4.7~12.9 inch-Screen Devices

I use this to hold my iPhone and kindle When I’m reading in bed. There’s a small learning curve to figuring out how to put your phone in the holder with only two hands - you can thread the charger through the bottom, and then plug it into your phone, and that helps. It’s very sturdy, even though it’s very light, and it will hold your phone in many different positions. After a year and a half of using it every day, sometimes for long periods of time, it still works. Recently I had my first problem with it, the last ball joint came loose and so my phone was prone to tip sideways, this was easy to fix by unscrewing the joint and putting a little epoxy in it. It is good as new again. I can’t hold my phone due to physical illness and damage, and it’s really helpful to have this tool that will hold it right in front of my face for as long as necessary. I tried to other phone holders before getting this one, one that went around my neck and was very uncomfortable, and one that relied on a single flexible tube. The flexible tube that attaches to your table is really bouncy, so when you scroll or turn pages there’s a lot of rebound, and that makes it hard to read. Every phone holder has this problem to some extent, but this one has the least. Also, If you can prop one hand up on pillows to give it a little support, that helps.

I decided to write this review because this item, despite the bad reviews people left, has been a life saver.Here's the story, I have a friend who due to medical reasons has to lay flat for an extended period of time. I mean extended as in 2 months or more.After a few days of staring at the ceiling he was losing his marbles. So I decided to find something to help him keep his mind occupied.Although this item didn't have a lot of good reviews and was marked by Amazon as "Frequently returned", I decided to give it a shot for the $20 price.I also bought one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9M5SCG4 to connect to his PC.The two holders are used to hold the display and an iPad mini (about 9 inches)These two holders have worked flawlessly. Strong enough to hold that display or the iPad. He is able to adjust the position to make sure his neck doesn't get tired in one spot.Also, the arms can swivel out of the way for getting up or laying back down.Honestly, I don't know why people call these flimsy.I wanted to write this review to make sure people see these as usable and affordable. Not everyone is looking to watch instagram in bed. Some people have a medical need.Hopefully this review helps other in similar position.

I like it because I can adjust my iPad straight up and down, leaning, etc without the black bar getting in the way. I have ordered one that kept it at a lean, I think a phone would work better. I lay in bed reading and my hands frequently have numbness and tingling from pinched nerves. Trying to keep a holder on my chest from popping me in the face or sliding around got ridiculous if I couldn’t keep a hold of.The problem: for me it somehow starts flopping forward no matter what I do after a couple of months. I admit I am constantly adjusting it this way or that, side to side, up and down, so I probably help it along. I’ve tried taking apart, putting back together, loosening, tightening, nothing helps. I take a thick rubber band and attach to the top of the holder and up around the bar. This gets me a few more weeks.The solution: I just buy a new one about every 3 months. Some may not can afford to. Some are just ticked it does this or whatever. Maybe it should last me but it doesn’t. I can’t go back to trying to put in a holder on my chest laying in bed, or looking down if I’m sitting. Here is how I justify it to myself. We spend $20 these days for fast food for the 2 of us if I don’t use reward points or offers on apps. Way more at a sit down restaurant. We do one or the other at least once a week. So, that fast food doesn’t last an hour, but this at same price will last me 3 months! My logic. It also helps I live in Louisiana and my husband loves crawfish, I don’t. So during season, he spends an average of $25 for just him some each week through the season. Now that’s some Tracey logic/reasoning to splurge here and there, lol.
