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

Works well and very portable.

I like to watch TV on my iPhone while I eat greasy fast food, and so I've always tried to purchase an iPhone case with an external battery and kickstand so that I can watch the news or a Movie on my Slingbox at home while I eat. This year, however, I went with the larger iPhone 6S+ and don't really need a battery case, or even want case with a kickstand, since that adds some bulk to a phone which is already larger than I'm used to.So I started out by making a couple of DIY stands out of old gift cards as instructed by some Youtube videos; that turned out to be OK, except that the stands were a bit unstable and tended to pop out of my wallet onto the ground. I needed to have a stand that was either in my wallet, built into the phone case, or with my keys.This became my wallet solution, and while it's very cleverly designed, fitting into my wallet taking up about the same space as a credit card, I found taking it out, unfolding it, and folding it back up to be a bit of a pain, especially with my hands greasy from lunch, so I now tend to favor the second solution, Keyprop: Keychain Tripod (Black) which fits on my keyring.This is just a matter of personal preference for me, but I find this wallet-stand just a tad bit lacking in the ease of use department. I'm keeping it, in case I need something for a flight or a longer session.Pros:• Sturdy stand - will hold large phone or small tablet• Clever folding design the size of a credit card• Metal and plastic construction• Fairly pricedCons:• A bit hard to deploy in certain sticky (and greasy) situations• Just a little bit too large - if it were a less long but a little, it would be a lot easier to slide in and out of wallet

Five * Because It Works As AdvertisedThis little gadget is a tiny bit smaller than a credit card. It unfolds to be a pretty solid stand for my Nexus 5 phone. Its most ingenious feature is the fold out lip which keeps the phone from sliding off (but which also keeps the N5 and any other device that connects on the bottom) from charging in the stand.I actually bought it because the photos "implied" it was large enough to use with a Qi Wireless Charger. And it sorta' is.I posted pics of the device page showing:1. The bare stand2. Stand with Anker Qi Wireless Charging Disk3. Stand, Qi Disk, Charging my Phone.The disk has to be in the middle of the phone to work. It will stay there if pressed into place, but that means moving the phone off and on isn't convenient. I plan to try a double stick velcro picture hanger to hold the Qi Disk in a good place. I'll update my post to report results. Of course, sticking the Velcro on will reduce the stand's "wallet friendly" feature.One annoyance. The stand is VERY stoutly packaged. The package must cost as much to build as the stand. You'll need a knife to open it up, AND you'll want to be careful because the photos on the package of the stand being "unfolded" are helpful. The stand itself isn't terribly stout (you wouldn't want to it be to carry in your wallet). So you'll want to be careful the first time you "unfurl" it as which part bends what direction isn't obvious.

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.

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.

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 👍😊✌️
