Uncaged Ergonomics Adjustable Book Holder, Tablet & Laptop Stand, Aluminum Portable Reading Stand for Textbooks & Cookbooks, Recipe Holder for Kitchen Counter, Silver

Wow, thank you Uncaged Ergonomics! Post shoulder surgery, I’ve been needing something to hold my tablet, books, and puzzles at a comfortable angle, and this is amazing. It’s so much more comfortable not trying to hold on with my hands, which get tired, or prop up a book with my legs- which still cause neck tiredness from looking down. I found this easy to adjust even with an arm in a sling, and it’s just so nice to be able to get what I’m reading up to eye level and to be comfortable. I didn’t expect there to be a soft rubber sleeve included, which slides on to the lower bar where my book rests, up its so nice to also rest my wrist there as I turn pages. It’s a thoughtful feature. The whole thing is well thought out- nice and wide to go over my lap and hold any size book on its surface. I imagine it would make a nice tray for a dinner plate as well. I can’t wait to recommend it to friends and don’t know when I’ve been so happy with a purchase. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Editing to add that adjusting the side legs is not hard! You press in a button and move the legs where you want them, but you do not have to do both sides at the same time! Turn it on one end and adjust the side that’s up, then turn it on the other end and repeat. It’s also GREAT how it goes into any angle, just release the button at any point.

A rare case of getting exactly what I expected. Well-designed and built, sturdy, and completely adjustable. I use it for iPad Air in bed, to raise it up so my neck isn’t strained by looking at my lap, and also keeps it farther away so my eyes don’t get crossed. An unexpected additional benefit: I can touch type again — on my little iPad keyboard, because the stand not only holds it upright but provides a backstop to type against. That requires a pillow to prop up my arms and hands, but it’s easily done. Some have complained that it’s not easy to adjust. I don’t think that’s a problem at all. You most likely won’t be adjusting it frequently — after trying a few positions, you’ll probably find one that works and stick with it. It takes a LITTLE doing — especially the first time when you’re unfamiliar with it. If it were any easier to adjust, it wouldn’t be as sturdy. Not a good tradeoff. I love how they even thought of providing all those holes in the back, providing both aeration (cooling) and antenna access for your device (antennas are built into the back of some iPads). I wish they were on the right side rather than the left, but they do cover the middle enough to allow placing the device in the middle.

Very handy. I love the size. It works very well. This was bought to replace a smaller one that eventually broke. That one was aluminum, this one isn't. Consequently, this is much heavier. Something I wasn't expecting.

The stand looks great and is well-built. The setup/adjustment process is cumbersome; not difficult to do, but it does take a bit of time. My stand is setup in a closet where I do recording with the height adjusted so the person on mic can stand up and see the script at eye level. To switch to sitting down I actually have to remove the unit from the closet since there is not enough room to adjust inside. Also the height where the music/script or laptop sits is about 8 inches high, if you are using a clip-on stand light an 11.5" piece of paper cannot fit on the stand without folding or printing in landscape mode.

It is perfect for drawing and reading. It is very sturdy but very light. It has tons of different ways you can use it by positioning the legs in different ways, I am able to use it for reading in bed at an angle, then change the angle to flat to rest a meal on, or raise it higher and put on a table to stand up to draw and paint, and then reduce the height and use it while sitting at a table, I love this thing! Until you get used to how to move the joints you may find it confusing, but after using it for a few hours in different positions described above I am now able to easily adjust it. The rubber lip that fits onto the front is really helpful, it makes it comfortable to rest my arm on when drawing, and it is wide enough to hold my books in place or rest pencils on.

This model was slightly more expensive than the others. The ease of use, foldability and comfort is outstanding. I can move it without folding it. It’s stable. I use it at my desk, on the couch and in bed.

We got this for my father, who has a bad shoulder, so that he can read in bed, and it works great. It is adjustable to however you need it, and it is lightweight for his shoulder. It is versatile and can be used, and it is perfect if you're looking for a good-quality holder.

I needed a desk to either raise my iPad, laptop, or a book to read, because I am supposed to try not to look down due to neck issues. I tried several and ended up going with this one because of the versatility. The reason for four stars instead of five is because it is a bother to change it from one setting to another, however, because of the design, it is more versatile than anything else I looked at. I can use it in my chair, on my desktop, and even as a passenger in a car. It is very sturdy. We are in the car lot and in the front seat, because of the design, I found a way to adjust it as long as I use the armrest for the right leg and have the left leg on the seat. my husband just tested. Tell me to scoot it toward me when he needs to see in a mirror to change lanes if we are on a multilane highway. The only other downside depends on its use. The ledges, deep enough to hold a book, however, too deep, if you need to use a keyboard for an iPad, keyboard, or laptop. I may need to purchase a Bluetooth keyboard to have in my lap, because in order to have A device at a high enough level for me not to bend my neck down, I would have to have my hands and arms are a bit of an awkward angle. I only have to do minimal typing, I do put the ledge of the keyboard up on top of the ledge that holds a book in place. I have had it for a couple weeks now using it in the house and in the car and I find that it is sitting my needs quite well overall.
