The picture here to me was a little deceiving, this thing is very small. There wasn't a product page link, so looking at the picture I thought is was about 6-8 inches in width. I knew it had been delivered, but picked over the small package a few times before I realized what it was. Actual size is about 4 inches wide and yet they kind of overkill on the thick aluminum alloy metal. The support itself is made of plastic, and here lies one of my very few complaints on this. In order to adjust the stand there is barely noticeable markerer that says press here with an arrow. I tried to force the plastic stand to move a few times before I saw it, so I'm lucky I'm fairly gentle, with no instruction guide I didn't break the stand. Once you know the push button release and the snap lock positions, it's easy to adjust the stand the way you like it.Like it I do, I recently bought an 8" HD tablet, and use it to stream all my anime shows and Netflix among others. At the hotel lying in bed, I was using a bottle under the flip over cover, and still had to hold the tablet in place the whole time. My arms were getting tired. At home I recline in my favorite chair in front of the TV, but sometimes it's just as easy to watch with the tablet on my stomach. Again a tiring affair, the fold over protective cover was made to kind of form a stand, but there was no good way to fix it on an uneven surface like me. This stand to the rescue the tablet fit and was quite stable after I'd adjusted the back brace to the correct angle. One other thing to watch is the plastic support piece under the bottom rest when not in use it falls out easy. If you don't want to lose it, I recommend when you move the back brace in you don't just move it flush with the metal, you move it over the plastic insert tablet support. That way it won't just drop away when you are putting this back.The stabilizing plastic skids on the bottom and top of the tablet support may fall off eventually, I can't tell how well they are bonded to the metal. I wouldn't count on the metal itself ever wearing out, but this might be damaged by stepping on it when the back brace is out, so beware. I don't know the actual price of this one, but I'd pay 20 bucks for it in a heartbeat, due to the utility value of it. Great for tablet support and small enough for cell phone support, although I'm not sure it will hold the really thick phones they are producing right now as well. Highly recommended for anyone with a tablet or phone, or other brand, this is nice.
