Lamicall Gooseneck Tablet Holder, Universal Tablet Stand - 360 Flexible Lazy Arm Holder Clamp Mount Bracket Bed for 4.7~13" 2024 iPad Pro Air mini, Samsung Tab, iPhone, Switch, more Devices - Black

I made the mistake of buying a cheap one of these which looked like it did the same job.The cheap one was completely useless, the clamp at the base was not tight enough to actually hold anything. So I tried securing the base using 2 twist ties. That kept the base in place but the actual gooseneck was so bendy / soft that it would not hold the weight of my iPhone 7 Plus, and bent down towards the ground.I saw the reviews of this showing it holding a tablet and reckoned if it’s strong enough to hold a tablet, it will have no problem with an iPhone 7 Plus, or iPhone 12 Pro Max. I was right. This is well made and actually does what it’s supposed to do (as opposed to being a cheaply made useless thing meant for landfill, like my first purchase).I currently have the base attached to a very thin flimsy music stand on my keyboard, and it has no problem securely holding on.The gooseneck is strong and keeps its shape. It easily holds the weight of my heavy phone, though if I touch my phone while its in the holder, the phone wobbles. So really this is mean to hold a device in place when you’re not needing to touch it.

I bought this product when looking for a versatile holder for a device to mostly watch videos and to play casual mobile games, fairly gentle usage. When the product arrived it fit my phone and tablet perfectly fine and had the strength to hold both without the arm bending under the weight.However, the plastic ring holding the leather sheath to the base was broken upon arrival. At the time I thought nothing of this as it did not seem to compromise the structural integrity of the arm and worked exactly how I wanted. After a few weeks of use I noticed the arm beginning to sag during a YouTube viewing and then promptly breaking. Upon inspection, the interior metal pipe had snapped completely.It is my thinking that this snapping was due to the initial separation of the plastic ring which allowed the arm near the base to bend more than it should which led to the eventual failure of the joint. After being unable to contact the seller I thought the best option would be to leave a review requesting a replacement if possible. This product was great while it lasted and I believe the only reason for the catastrophic failure was the fault out of the box and maybe if I had brought it up with the seller then this wouldn’t haveoccurred.I feel five stars would be in order for this great product if only I hadn’t received a faulty item in the beginning and would wholly recommend this as well as getting straight in contact with the seller if you also experience this issue.UPDATE -Just came home to a surprise parcel, a replacement! This one is perfect and I’m certain will last. Couldn’t be more appreciative of the goodwill of this company and great customer service, they obviously care about their customers. Would recommend 100% 👍

This product is very sturdy,strong, and flexible. It is ideal for desktop use. It holds my tablet securely, and the clamp is more than wide enough for my needs. However, for overhead use the grey flexible cable isn't long enough. I am a quadriplegic; i operate my tablet by moving my head. My head movements are tracked by the tablet's camera and translated into onscreen actions by an app. As a quadriplegic, my movement is severely restricted. When i need to move in bed i need to be repositioned by carers. This involves the carers having to clamp and reposition the stand on one side of my head then the other. As a consequence, in order to use my tablet effectively in bed, i require the clamp to be placed right on the centre on top of the headboard. From this position the flexi cable doesn't arch enough to for me to comfortably use my tablet.

Positives and negatives, then full review:Positives:Well made, sturdy buildHolds wide range of devices (12 - 22 cm) securelyEasy to open part holding the device, due to string handleDecent length gooseneck (about 78 cm)Large clamp with thick padding, opens 4 cmOnce adjusted, stays in place wellFlexible section closer to device gives good fine adjustment, wide range of viewing anglesNegatives:Gooseneck very stiff, so hard to adjustClamps moves sideways when adjusting the gooseneck sidewaysWill wobble if you need to type or use other inputs (although think that's unavoidable)Full review:These are an excellent idea, really useful, and overall, this is well executed, but it's not that easy to adjust, especially sideways. The goose neck is very stiff, apart from the bit closest to the device, which is more flexible. It's definitely not going to droop any time soon and stays in place well, but because the neck is so stiff, when adjusting it sideways, the screw-on clamp tends to also move sideways, and gradually works its way loose, however much I tighten it. The clamp is nice and big and has thick padding, but also has a thick post going through it, so it only holds on with the front 4 cm or so. You would think that would be enough, but mine is fixed to a glass table top, and I either have to hold the clamp in place while adjusting or open and re-position it afterwards. I also tried it on my kitchen worktop, which the clamp opens just wide enough to accommodate (4 cm), and it slips sideways there, too, when adjusting it sideways. Fine adjustment using just the white part closest to the device is fine, but if like me, you need to be able to move the whole thing out of the way sideways, it can be a bit annoying. If you intend to position this and leave it in place, with just fine adjustment, it's great. The gooseneck is a decent length, about 78 cm. The part that holds the device is very good, nice and firm, but easy to open due to the string grip. My ipad feels securely held, have no concerns that it could fall out.. The part holding the device opens between 12 - 22 cm, so will fit a wide range of devices. Overall, it feels well made and sturdy, so still gave 5 stars and would recommend. I think it might hold better with slightly harder or rougher padding on the clamp..
