Iphone/Ipad card Scanner Stand - Scan documents & business cards with your phone

Good idea. However it arrived in a plastic bag which was damaged and the product was damaged as a result. the other comment is that the hole cut for camera is large and phone doesn’t cover it as a whole. The idea of outside light not putting shadows on the document is great however the opening of the box is still letting the shadows to form.

Any product which doesn’t allow you to view feedback by star rating means they are hiding something. Maybe it’s because you are selling a cardboard box for just under £30?

- I liked the ease and accuracy of taking a picture of a document. - I didn’t like the fact that it is not foldable, hence not portable. - I wish it had an internal light source even at extra cost. - the quality of the cardboard could be improved and be more durable.

Most people probably look at this product and ask "why would I pay this price for a cardboard box." But a lot of design went into this product to make it work well for scanning documents quickly and easily. I have an all in one printer scanner that has both a flat bed and a sheet fed scanner, so if I need to scan many 8.5x11 pages, that device makes more sense. But to be honest, it's a pain to scan a single page, off-size documents like a check. I have to put it in the scanner, scan it, crop it, etc. With this box I can scan from my phone in a matter of seconds, and it lines up immediately, sees the contrasting outline because of the color of the box, crops automatically, no shadows because of the box and I'm done. It works must faster than hand-held scanning. I used the free Microsoft Office Lens app on my phone and it worked without a hitch. Also makes a great box for pilling up things that will need to be scanned. The shape of the box was carefully worked out - making one yourself out of a random cardboard box would take a lot of time and experimentation. This was a worthwhile purchase. I asked the seller a question, and he responded very quickly and generously. I'm very glad I bought it and recommend it highly.

I bought this for the purpose of scanning a large number of archive documents - it's too tedious to do with a flatbed and even an MFC feeder scanner due to paper variety and double-sided pages. Scanner Bin works amazing in conjunction with Adobe Scan which makes it super easy to create multi-page PDFs with OCR and upload them to Document Cloud (free up to 2GB afaik). The only concern is ambient lighting - you must use phone camera flash but even with it, strong overhead lights will create uneven page lighting. The vendor is selling led add-on side lid that should make this better, but I honestly found the bin to be good enough even without it.

Still need to get light right

I bought this product as a lightweight, inexpensive scanning tool for my grandma who has very limited sight. She has struggled in the past with bulkier plastic scanning tools that were more expensive and less effective than the Scanner Bin. I set the bin up for her and she was immediately able to scan documents for her apps to read back to her. Since she is easily able to scan documents without fiddling with the bin for too long and is able to store away for when guests come over, the Scanner Bin is a great product that has all the capability of a more dedicated scanning stand for a fraction of the price. My only issue with the product is that it is a little hard to set up if you have trouble seeing, but there is no way around this issue because if the product shipped assembled it would run the risk of getting damaged in shipping. Otherwise, the Scanner Bin is a cheap, easy to set up tool that gets the job done.
