Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of iZel Innovative Hands-free Stand for iPhone, iPod, Blackberry, Zune
Customer Review: Nice idea - Some serious design flaws
Summary: 3 Stars
Neat design...
1 - Made out of grippy rubber - essential to stop it slipping around during use.
2 - Adjustable angle for different situations.
3 - One design that allows Landscape and Portrait views - essential for the iPhone.
Unfortunately...
1 - Because of the design, that grippy rubber only touches the desk on three small curved feet. This doesn't provide enough contact to stop it sliding with each button press.
2 - The height adjuster is very neat but it seems to be designed just for watching videos. Even at it's lowest setting, it's too vertical for typing.
3 - In Landscape, the feet curve up around the front of the phone so much they get in the way of the keyboard.
I'm amazed how frequently design flaws like these get through the testing stage.
The only way I could get this to be usable as a desk stand was to remove the height adjuster completely and CUT the curved part of the back foot off, making it flat. This solved the first two problems: The whole underside of the rubber support arms are now in contact with the desk, providing lots of grip and the angle is now suitable for typing.
Summary: If you want a stand for watching movies, this one is great. If you want a stand that will hold the phone while you actually use it, be prepared to do some major surgery first.
