Honestly I didn't have very high expectations of this kick stand, but for $9 I'm really pleased! I bought this to put on the back of the case of the iPhone 5S that my husband and I gave our 4.5 year old son after we upgraded so he could watch his videos and play his games on it. One of his favorite things to do is put little music videos on YouTube kids and jump around or do the actions with them (Going on a Bear Hunt, Slippery fish, Wheels on the Bus etc). That's hard to do when you're holding the phone, so I got this little kickstand so he could prop it on the table, his toy box, the window sill, fireplace, dresser or wherever he's playing so he can play along with whatever he's watching/listening to. So far it works really well!What I like:- Metal, not cheap plastic like similar products- Love the magnetic closure that keeps it from popping open spontaneously- Sticks really securely to the back of the case we have even though it's not a perfectly smooth surface. To be clear, I understood before I bought it that it was only recommended for use on smooth cases or surfaces but I was hopeful that it would work well enough on the textured plastic back of case we have (see pics) and so far so good! Definitely has exceeded my expectations on that front- VERY small/slim profile!! I love that this is hardly noticeable when it's closed. We charge the phone on a charging station/dock and this stand doesn't interfere with the phone standing up straight up on the docking station. Also, because of its slim and rounded profile and magnetic closure, it doesn't get caught or opened when stuffing the phone into a pocket or bag.- Good viewing angle! The viewing angle (which obviously depends in part on where/how you place the stand) seems to be perfect for sitting at a table.- Attractive. This kick stand is tiny but it doesn't look cheap or cheesy. Its look very much compliments the sleek sexy style of most modern smart phones and while we bought this for our kid, it would very much be an accessory that both my husband and I would have no problem putting on our own devices because it looks professional and elegant.- Comes with an extra sticky strip- Universal for any case or device!Things I wish were better:- It definitely helps to have finger nails to open this kick stand. My 4.5 year old with his chubby fingers has a really hard time opening it by himself. I know the minimal design helps it keep a sleek and slim profile, but I feel like there could be an easier way to open it.- The hinge (which I have had NO problems with so far) does strike me as being a little delicate. Again, it hasn't broken, so I have nothing to complain about, but I do worry about it breaking. However, for the price, this is something that is easily replaced and that you get your moneys worth out of very quickly.- Doesn't come with any directions for application or use. I mean, it's pretty intuitive, but I always appreciate it when items come with some sort of note on the IDEAL application location and process and tips for use etc. This came with nothing whatsoever.In summary, for the price and our uses, this little kickstand seems to be in a class by itself and I can highly recommend it! I have had great experience with a variety of Spigen products by now and this is no exception! And for the record I did NOT receive this item for free or a discount.
