Swing Holder Universal Head Assembly for iPad 2/3/4 (SFS-UHA-A -)

This unit is wonderful! Buy it! I was having trouble with my hands falling asleep because I got in the habit of reading my iPad for hours while laying in bed. The Product description on Amazon is very accurate and truthful. I spent quite some time reading the reviews of many if not all similar products on Amazon and settled on this Universal Swingholder. I am very happy with the sturdy construction and custom designed components. No cheap junk here! I assembled it and placed it beside my bed. I quickly realized that the unit was too low (or more accurately my bed is too high - 29" without a box spring) so I set it on a 6" high base - problem solved. The 6" higher base also raised the unit enough so it did not knock all my belongings off the night stand. I contacted the manufacturer and as stated in many reviews, I had a quick and helpful response from the owner of the company. I understand that they are continuously working on improvements to their units and one of the requests (not just from me) is for a taller and longer arm unit. Make sure you watch Amazon for a future potentially taller unit if you own one of the higher beds that are popular today.

A little too small for iPad Pro and unable to hold it with a case

Works well, very solid. The way you close and open the clamp, is not that easy to use, kinda a trickyIf I place it by my bed, then in gets in the way of standing up, in the way to my night table...It has the looks of Industrial or medical Equipment, gray with black, I think looks terrible in my bedroom, or anywhere.I keep looking at this thing, and keep asking myself, why does it has to be so ugly!Please look up this video on Youtube: Jonathan Ive on Apple's Design (2008)[...]

I'm so pleased that this exists. In anticipation of recovering from surgery, I bought it for myself as a gift so that I wouldn't have to hold up my phone or iPad. It's easy to put the iPad or phone into the bracket, and it's clever that they have a charging cable. I'm giving it four stars out of five, however, because I just can't figure out how do I adjust it in a way that doesn't hurt my neck. Sometimes it's a very complicated maneuver to move the — fortunately very solid — base and arm and device to be in a comfortable position… And sometimes I don't succeed and have to leave it in a slightly uncomfortable position.

After comparing and contrasting different iPad Mini stands and gooseneck holders, and having recovered from the "sticker shock", I finally settled on this Universal SwingHolder unit. I couldn't be happier with this product -- it's *fantastic*!When it arrived, my base was cracked and leaking sand. I immediately contacted the company (Stand For Stuff), and they shipped out a replacement base the next day. When I got the new base, and assembled the unit, it was clear that they use excellent engineering and machining of the parts.The universal aspect of the device holder is genius (once you figure out how to use it). It will accommodate just about any electronic device with, or without, a case/cover. It supports just about any orientation (the only omission is the ability to hover horizontally over your face while lying flat on your back)About the only thing I could wish for, is for the various arm lengths to be a little longer. Otherwise, this unit serves my purposes beautifully. I can't recommend it enough!

The company stretches things a bit when it claims that the stand works with the big iPad Pro. Yes, you can get the iPad Pro into the holder (a set of opposing claws at the end of a boom pole), but you must strenuously wrestle with it. This is an unnecessary inconvenience, and an impossibility if you use a case on the iPad Pro . I don't think the company is being completely honest when that say that the stand is iPad Pro ready. A fix would require that the company install slightly longer arms on the holder-hooks. In addition, I was unable to get either an e-mail or a telephone response from the company. They don't answer their business/sales phone (all you get is a "leave-a-message" recording) and they don't replay to e-mails. This is not a good sign and may indicate that the business is in trouble. Once I wrestled my iPad Pro into the opposing holder-hooks, the stand worked as advertised. I remain concerned that wrestling the iPad Pro in and out of the holder-hooks may ultimately scratch the iPad's cool gold finish.

The stand is fairly well made. The biggest draw back is how much room the arc of the counterweight take up when swinging the device end out of your way. The two locations we have tried , bedside & recliner side, required moving side tables and some planing you jump up to grab the phone. If you have the room the stand works well.

After all the great reviews of this product I expected it to be just what I needed - I wanted a simple, elegant design with superb function that was easy to assemble and maneuver. And it is all these things. -----> Best of all is the Customer Service - - AMAZING!!! I have a specific need for position to read in - - couldn't figure out how to get the SwingHolder into the correct position - had spent a few days trying to figure it out; finally called customer service - - they returned my call in about an hour. After hearing about my need they sent me a 'Redesigned Tube Assembly' for the SwingHolder that would get it into the correct position that I need to read. I couldn't believe it!!! Never had a company do that before. I could not be more pleased with every aspect of this purchase, I recommend it highly and I believe the iPad Floor Stand: Universal SwingHolder is worth every penny.
