Arkon Heavy Duty Tablet Stand Review ( Model TABSTAND4 )

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this product for free so that I could provide product feedback to the company and post a product review. I was not required to write a positive review and I do not rate products higher than they should have been. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's requirements.

I recently received an Arkon Heavy Duty Tablet Stand Review ( Model TABSTAND4 ) for a product review.  In addition to the stand itself, the package also included the instructions, two sets of support legs, and an allen wrench.

The directions were easy to follow, and the only tool required was included.  I was a bit worried because this stand was designed for larger tablets (9" - 12" screen), but I only have a Nexus 7.  The stand comes with two sets of support legs ( each set is a different size ) so I was able to get one of the sets to hold the Nexus 7 sideways without a problem.

The base of the stand is heavy, which is good because you don't have to worry about it moving around when you touch the screen.  The bottom of the stand has a cloth like material, which should help keep it in place and avoid scratching surfaces you put the stand on.  The arm can adjust up and down, and the screen can be positioned many ways ( rotate it any way you want and you can point it at you or up ) which gives many options for placement.

As the first test, my wife sometimes uses her tablet (also a Nexus 7) for recipes.  I setup the stand with her Nexus 7 in the kitchen (in portrait mode) and she was able to use it to have the recipe up on the screen.  She found it useful, and I think the biggest benefit is that she can place it anywhere she needs it.  With just the tablet, she has to prop it up against something else.

The tablet is very useful for watching videos, or really any situations where you want to use the tablet but don't really need to hold it in your hand.

In addition to using it around the house, I could see this as a useful tool in businesses and teaching environments.  Frankly I am sure there are other uses, but if you are reading up on reviews about this stand you probably already have some ideas in mind.

Here are the main points I noticed about this product:

Ease of Use: It was very easy to put this together ( only one tool was required, and it was included ) and mounting your device is very simple.

Versatility: With the heavy base, you can move this around where you need it.  It has many adjustments - different size support legs, telescoping arm, and the tablet holder can pivot/swivel in many directions.  Although it is designed for larger tablets, it worked with my 7" tablet just fine.

Quality: The build quality does not seem flimsy at all, and Arkon has a 2-year warranty to show they stand behind their products.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a tablet stand, this is definitely a solid option worth considering.
