ALASHI Tablet Stand - Foldable, Adjustable Height, Multi-Angle, Sturdy Metal Base, Holds 4-13.3 Inch Tablets, Gray

3/9/33 Comparison of tablet stands, in the twelve to fourteen dollar range, for OtterBox Defender Case on 10” Samsung Tab S7My main goal is to get as much HEIGHT as possible for my 10” tablet in a ½” thick RUGGED CASE. I want a sturdy, simple, portable, attractive form-factor that supports my tablet, charging in portrait mode. I want to pay less than fifteen dollars.I actually want two different tablet stands:- “Home” stand: remains set up at home, without frequent adjustments; so, it’s not important for it to be the smallest, lightest, or easiest to adjust. The ALASHI L02 is my pick for this.- “Travel” stand: packs small and travels ‘lightly’ with my tablet. Also has a small footprint for flexibility and use at home with my 6” phone. The pink Hi-Tech Wireless stand is my pick for this.The main photo shows the front of the four stands I compared. From left to right, they are:- ALASHI L02 (21 oz / 1.3 lbs) - silver with perforated back and two “spines”. Twelve dollars (usual price “on sale”).- OMOTON T5 (13.9 oz) - silver with solid backplate and single “spine”. Fourteen dollars (usual price “on sale”)- Hi-Tech Wireless iPad stand, (8.8 oz) - Pink with cut-out area in base. (ASIN: B07GCMW7MY, no model number). Under thirteen dollars (usual price “on sale” with additional 10% coupon).- OMOTON T4 (11.8 oz) - Pale Green with funky bent cradle feet. Under fourteen dollars Used (a 4-5 dollar discount from usual New price)The second photo illustrates the cradle height difference, with the green OMOTON T4 in the foreground, providing the least height advantage of all four stands, when oriented for stable support of the tablet in a near-vertical portrait mode. The third photo compares the silicone pads on the bases. The fourth and fifth photos show the misaligned silicone pad on the left cradle foot, a little higher than it should be in back, and too short to meet the end of the cradle foot in front.I comment only on distinguishing features that affected my purchase decisions, mostly related to height gain, quality of silicone pads, and cradle design. I won’t comment on all the nice features discussed elsewhere.ALASHI L02 (1.3 lbs, silver w/perforated backplate): Highest tablet stand! Cradle fits my OtterBox Defender tablet case. This is my pick for “Home stand,” a bargain in the twelve dollar price range. Heaviest weight too, but doesn’t bother me since it won’t travel much.ALASHI PROS:- HEIGHT ADVANTAGE - 4”: The ALASHI L02 holds the bottom of my tablet, in portrait mode, 4” above the base of the stand, when adjusted for max vertical posture and height (while maintaining stability). The next closest stands achieve only 2” of height. The ALASHI accomplishes this height because the support spines attach to the *bottom* of the stand’s backplate, so that the backplate/cradle is held as high as possible.- CRADLE OK WITH RUGGED CASE: The two cradle feet accommodate my ½” case, but just barely. The case fits just inside the black silicone pad layer. The tablet doesn’t settle into the cradle feet, but is held above the bottom of the cradle. The awkward fit on the cradle feet is secure enough for my purposes, but I worry about pushing on the edge of the silicone pad over and over, every time I put my tablet in the stand.- THICKER SILICONE PADS: the pads on the backplate, base and cradles are thicker than typical tablet stand pads, which suits this heftier, larger form factor, though I think they’d do better to go a little thicker. These seem as thick as the feet and cradle pads on the OMOTON T5, and as thick as the back and feet pads on the Hi-Tech Wireless.ALASHI CONS:- MISALIGNED SILICONE PAD: The one fit & finish flaw I saw on any of these stands was a mis-aligned silicone pad on one of the cradles of the ALASHI. The pad doesn’t come all the way to the front top edge of the cradle foot, which bums me out a bit.- UNDERSIZED SILICONE FEET: The narrow silicone feet on the bottom of the base are, in my opinion, undersized (too narrow) relative to the competition, and therefor more likely to move over time. I prefer larger blocks of silicone padding, because they stay in place better and are less likely than small adhesive pads to get “pushed around” or lost during use.- DOUBLE SPINE DESIGN: Two “spines” are NOT better than one, in my opinion. A stand with a single spine supporting the backplate is easier to adjust without torquing other parts of the stand, and is more attractive/elegant to me. There’s no strength advantage to having two spines: OMOTON and others provide equally strong, sturdy stands in this class with a single support spine and wide heavy base. Having two spines requires extra care during adjustments so that both spines move in sync, rather than torquing the back plate by moving one spine out of alignment with the other. This minor concern does not bother me, as I plan not to adjust it much, or travel with this “Home” stand.OMOTON T5 (13.9 oz, silver with solid backplate)I’m returning this stand because it doesn’t provide enough height to warrant the bigger, heavier form factor to me. Otherwise, it’s a great stand in the fourteen dollar range (on sale).OMOTON T5 PROS:- SINGLE SPINE: narrow spine is most attractive form factor of all four stands, and it’s easier to adjust than the dual-spine ALASHI L02.- LARGE SILICONE PADS: pads on the backplate and base won’t move around as easily as undersized pads.- THICKER SILICONE PADS: the feet and cradle pads are thicker than most stand pads, befitting a hefty stand this size. They’re about the same thickness as the ALASHI, but twice as thick as the pads on the OMOTON T4, which is roughly the same size as this OMOTON T5, but a tad lighter weight.- CRADLE OK WITH RUGGED CASE: Cradle feet just barely fit my rugged tablet case; the tablet just rests just inside the silicone padding, without fitting down into the base of the cradle feet. This fit is just like that of the ALASHI cradle feet, adequate but not ideal. Cradle shape is nicely curved, unlike the oddly bent cradles of the OMOTON T4.OMOTON T5 CONS:- POOR HEIGHT: 2” is my DEALBREAKER. Adjusting the stand to hold my tablet as high and in as upright (vertical) a posture as possible, while maintaining stability in portrait mode, gave me 2” of height above the base of the stand. The ALASHI gives me 4” of height. There are plenty of smaller stands than the OMOTON T5 that give me 2” of height (the minimum I want, for charging in portrait mode), so I’m not interested in this bigger, heavier, clunkier-folding stand if I won’t get extra height from it.Hi-Tech Wireless, (8.8 oz, Pink with cut-out base)I’m keeping this as one of the most travel-friendly attractive stands that is sturdy enough for my 10” tablet in rugged case. It’s also the only stand of the four whose cradle provides more than enough room for my ½” rugged case, settled fully and securely inside the cradle feet. It’s at the right pricepoint, at just under thirteen dollars (with 10% coupon).Hi-Tech Wireless PROS:- BEST WIDEST CRADLE FEET: Securely hold ½” thick case with room to spare, unlike similar competitors or any of the other three I compared here.- HEIGHT GOOD FOR SIZE - 2”: This stand holds the bottom of my tablet 2 inches above the base, just as good as the much heftier OMOTON T5, and higher by a smidgeon than the OMOTON T4. I like getting the max height in the smallest more portable package.- THICKER, LARGER SILICONE PADS: The backplate and feet pads are larger than you’ll find on almost any competitor, which I regard as a sign of care and quality amongst the multitudes of clones of this style. Although the cradle pads are somewhat thinner, the backplate pad is EXTRA THICK and the feet pads seem as thick as those on the heftier ALISHA and OMOTON T5 stands.- EXCELLENT DESIGN, FIT & FINISH: Though all four stands have good fit and finish, this Hi-Tech Wireless stand has uniquely large pads, perfectly aligned, and beveled edges so tiny they’re hardly noticeable, but still indicating a quality of design and manufacturing that stands apart from the multitudes of look-alike models. I also like the simple design of the rectangular cut-out base.- MOST PORTABLE: This is about the smallest (folded), lightest stand that is sturdy enough for regular use with my 10” tablet in heavy OtterBox case.Hi-Tech Wireless CONS:- None. This stand is one of the best, most portable and affordable tablet stands that allow up to 2” of height for charging in portrait mode, especially for tablets in rugged cases. It’s also not ridiculously oversized for use with a phone. I consider this the best model of all the phone/tablet stands that look and operate just like this.OMOTON T4 (11.8 oz, pale green)I’m returning this stand because: It provides the least height of all four stands; Isn’t suitable for charging in portrait mode (esp for OtterBox case); and Has an unattractive cradle shape with odd angles that don’t seem to provide any functional advantage (and instead seem to function worse than the usual curved or box-shaped cradle feet). It’s normal eighteen dollar price is on the high side for equivalent stands, possibly because of the special color offerings, but I purchased USED - LIKE NEW for just under fourteen dollars -- still too expensive given the CONS.OMOTON T4 PROS:- COLORS: Uniquely available in several attractive colors including blue and green, though the green appears much less bright in real life than in the online photos.OMOTON T4 CONS:- DEALBREAKER - CAN’T CHARGE IN OTTERBOX DEFENDER CASE IN PORTRAIT MODE: Cradle design doesn’t allow charging device in OtterBox Defender case in Portrait mode, because the waterproof-cover-tab for the tablet charging port hangs down and blocks the narrow opening in the cradle shelf meant for feeding the charging cable through.- DEALBREAKER - CAN’T REMOVE DEVICE WHILE CHARGING: Cradle design doesn’t allow removing the device from the stand while charging, because the charging cable must be fed through a cut-out hole in the cradle shelf. The other three stands have an open gap between the two cradle feet, so the device doesn’t need to be unplugged in order to take it off the stand into one’s lap.- DEALBREAKER - UNIMPRESSIVE HEIGHT vs HEFT: This tablet stand provided under 2 inches of height to my tablet, the lowest of the four compared. Under 2 inches of height gain is particularly unimpressive for the size, heft and price.- PRICE: I paid just under fourteen dollars for a USED - LIKE NEW item, whose going price NEW is a too pricey eighteen dollars.

I think this is the best tablet holder I have ever purchased to date. It is strong and sturdy, yet manually adjustable. Then sometimes I need it to lie on the bed without falling over. So I discovered that if you bend it backwards, it will still hold the tablet flush to the bed, it works great and doesn't tip over.

Very well designed. Heavy and sturdy. Holds my iPad while it’s charging. It also holds my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I highly recommend this stand.

This feels REALLY sturdy and secure and can get to pretty much any angle. I use it for my iPad in the kitchen for some entertainment when I'm cooking, and occasionally displaying recipes - it works for both. Fits fine with even a thicker iPad case (I have the newer Air, but there is still room) the rubber backing feels secure, and I like that I can angle it in such a way that my JBL speaker can fit right underneath on top of the base. I would not call it great for travel, because it's heavy. It has to be, to balance out any/all angles for your iPad if you have a heavier tablet, but I didn't get it to be portable.

Good product sturdy excellent adjustability However only 4 stars because the rubber foot pads tend to fall off And need to be reglued before they are lost. I have 2 Both arrived With the foot pads improperly located And they had to be removed Placed in the proper location and reglued

This was given as a gift. They seemed happy with it and said it's very well designed, sturdy enough to leave the case on it. You can change positions easily and it stays in place. Not sure why the little stickers are there - to make it look better? (they cover up the adjustable screws) If you want to adjust it again, then you have to take the stickers off and I doubt that they would stick back again. Overall, it's a good stand!

Pleasantly surprised at good weight and stability. Will hold my Galaxy Tab 7 FE in or out of it's case. Adding into the mix the Godmaer folding bt keyboard makes a perfect mini-desktop set up. I set the adjustment nuts at just the right tightness to allow position adjustment, yet hold new position. Highly recommend!!

Exactly what I was looking for. This now resides permanently on our kitchen counter and makes accessing our tablet very easy. It is sturdy and easy to adjust so we can see the weather, a video or a favorite recipe.

This is exactly as shown. It is very sturdy and holds just about any size tablet. However it is best to reverse the base. As shown the short side of the bottom base faces rear and the long side front. But this makes it easy to tip over as you tap the screen. Reverse it (easy to do) and it is very stable.

well made, heavy but durable and sturdy. good adjustments. works for iPad Pro 13 inch
