2.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't live up to its description, June 12, 2009

I thought this stand had possibilities by its product description and from its mostly positive reviews. I have subsequently learned to be more skeptical of both. As it turns out, I do agree with one reviewer who commented that the item was over-priced for what it is: a hard plastic cut-out that, while compact when folded, is limited by its minimal folding angles. Because of the hard plastic material, repeated use of one's iPod Touch (in my instance) could subject the unit to scratching unless it is in its own protective case. If you like to use your Touch for watching movies without draining the battery, the Tiko accommodates horizontal viewing while plugged into the unit's charger and allows the use of headphones. If used in the vertical position you are out of luck. It does not elevate the unit to accommodate a charger or earphone plug-in. The reviewer I cited also has a valid point about the limited viewing angles. I believe the furthest back the Tiko leans is about 60 degrees, too upright while trying to view the Touch close-up while seated at a table. For me, the stand that has everything going for it is the Podium. While the price is considerably more, the Podium elevates the Touch, gives it virtually unlimited viewing angles, is heavier and has protective coatings that will not mar your unit's body. Oh, and it's sharp looking as well. It is not a travel stand, however.

It's a simple product that does what it says it will do. Made of a good quality, lightweight plastic that folds flat for travel. The back support arm has notches that allow for a large variety of viewing angles. This product is so useful that I have taken to carrying it with me to prop up my Kindle while reading away from home. So delighted with it that I purchased a second one for my wife. Especially when compared to other products which are far bulkier and costly this is a treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a dream on airline tray tables., July 29, 2009

I help my iPhone for almost an hour to watch a video on a recent trip. After hitting the Apple store and finding out that nothing was available to help me I was about to make a stand out of aluminum for my iPhone. I found this on Amazon and the problem was solved. It packs flat and slips out of the way in a carry on bag.
When I needed it, it pops up and holds my iPhone at the perfect (adjustable) angle for easy viewing. Could not be a better design- thanks!
