FlipBlade Adjust - partially unstable and shaky

Belkin aluminum FlipBlade Holder for iPad, iPhone and tablet PC's (Accessories)

Customer Review

I opted for the Adjust-variant, as these as the name suggests can be adjusted and not only provides a predetermined angle. I take him for my Google Nexus 10 (Dimensions 263.9 x 177.6 x 8.9 mm, weight 603 g), followed by my assessment is based what stability and usability concerns. For me, especially the on-edge position is because some apps the interesting position and I also weights more. The horizontal alignment is generally much less critical terms what priorities etc..

The stand comes in a very small package, which again reflects its small footprint when folded. So he has the dimensions of approximately 14 x 9 x 2.5 cm (LxWxH).
The material quality is very good. The stand is made of matte aluminum and know no sharp edges or the like. The underside of the base is rubberized, thus ensuring a satisfactory skid resistance. The bearing surface of the tablet is covered with the same material, which gives the tablet a hand for support, but also the housing protects. The rubber coating is also meticulously crafted, form follows aluminum structure and one sees no adhesive residue or column. The recess is for my Nexus more than big enough, I could almost 2 Insert superimposed. You can insert the tablet as an additional protection as well as with a thin protective shell. I have a folding leather case, with it, however, does not fit in together.

To open you hold the 2 keys "pressed on the hinge side and pull up the support surface. Depending on the angle you let this then release and it locks itself again.
On offer 4 positions it engages. After locking the hinge has a relatively long game, even in the closed state can open him a lot. Generally speaking, the stand is not very rigid. This leads me to my first point of criticism: Each tap on the screen of the device holder easy to oscillate / springs. If the tablet loaded vertically and one types in the upper area of ​​the screen, so you have to tap each short wait for the decay of the vibration.

I would now rate nor the individual adjustable angles (got a little photo montage of single angle in the gallery provided).
Level 1: very flat - Virtually no use, but is mainly due to the flat angle. The Tablet-edge insert is not here, the stand tilts together to Tablet.
Stage 2: flat - very pleasant angle of attack, but unfortunately to use only in horizontal mode. If one tablet upright one, so the vibration of the stand already described leads to instability. If you tap the top, you have to be very careful, because the stand in the hinge region raises from the ground and can tip over and Tablet Stand.
Level 3: Steep - angle of attack also pleasant, as opposed to level 2 no danger of overturning when typing. Vibration problem persists but
, The angle of attack actually too steep to use a maximum of full steep when it is used in a standing position at chest level: Level 4.

Conclusion: If you want to not only use the FlipBlade Adjust to the Tablet added filters (look as a digital cookbook or movies), but meanwhile also would like to take, you should carefully consider the purchase. For a tablet in the range 7-8 "the problem will probably not given the tip-over. If the stand longer about 2-3cm and the torsional rigidity slightly higher so that it does not vibrate and does not tip over there is full 5 star, so there's due the limited usability only 3. One caveat I would still make regarding tipping. The Nexus 10 is a 16:10 Tablet, unlike the iPad (4: 3), and thus stretched (about 2 cm longer than the iPad) . Possibly is level 2 on the iPad more usable. As the stand but for iPad, iPhone and tablet PCs is widely advertised, it should also cover the now common variant 10 "16:10.
