When this arrived in the post the plastic box had already been opened and I had the feeling that this was actually a used item not new, as described.
The stand feels nice and solid and doesn't move in upright position when I press the home button, so that's a plus. The rubber grips are ok and add to stability.
Apart from the opened packaging issue, I was disappointed with the looseness of the legs and drop down parts of the stand. Looseness of the fittings means for me that the stand can be fiddly to use, especially when in the low position where a slight nudge forward means that the stand collapses flat. If it was machined with tighter fittings this stand would be greatly improved.
