1.0 out of 5 stars VERY DANGEROUS - DO NOT PURCHASE - DO NOT USE, December 10, 2009

This review is from: Griffin iCurve 2 Elevator Computer Laptop Stand (Electronics)

THIS STAND IS DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRUST IT TO SUPPORT YOUR LAPTOP.

This stand loses grip over time. A few nights ago, I watched (in slow motion horror accompanied by a classic muffled/panicked "nooooooooooo...." for added effect) as my macbook pro slid off the stand and onto my kitchen floor. The laptop was fully on the stand prior to sliding off. After that, the laptop wouldn't boot.

I took my laptop to the Apple store to have it diagnosed. My hard drive was broken because of the fall. This was not all. I now have a big dent on my laptop and a ding in my kitchen floor.

I called Griffin Technology to see what they could do for me. They said that since the stand was more than 2 months old that it was not a manufacturing defect and that they would be unable to cover the cost of the replacement hard drive and shell. The hard drive and new torx set cost over $120. I don't even want to guess how much a new macbook pro shell would cost me.

It is concerning that Griffin believes that a $30+ stand which supports a multi-thousand dollar computer should only be stable for one to two months.

I spent the next day dissembling my laptop, installing a new hard drive, attempting to bend my laptop shell back into shape, reassembling my laptop, restoring OS-X and the environment that I had on the computer.

I should have trusted my first instinct to not buy products from Griffin.

1.0 out of 5 stars the $30 that broke my $2000 laptop., October 23, 2009

the $30 that broke my $2000 laptop.
I left the house with my laptop on the stand, on my desk. When I returned home 20 minutes later, my laptop was standing on one side, on the floor.The laptop shell is broken- the bottom piece is dented outward as to expose the inside of the computer. My broadband card, inserted in the computer when I left the house, was also on the floor and dented upon my return. Griffin customer service was very sweet in telling me that they would most likely do nothing to help me.

Simple, elegant design leaves the underside of my Mac Powerbook uncovered so air can get to it. Very nice!
