Great Desktop Assist

There's never a good place to put copy when you're working on your computer. The average desk is usually pretty well filled with all sorts of technology components and organizational equipment and files Not much space to lay copy and trying to type a document. This holder fits beautifully in the last spare space on my desk and holds documents securely while I work. It holds single sheets as well as multi-page booklets securely in the attached clip. It's great to have something so basic to assist in my work.
wasn't sure about the curve on this but it is ok. The one big downfall is there is no lip on the bottom tray to hold a thick stack of papers so I had to improvise and use some sticky bumpers to create one so my papers don't slide forward and fall off as I do not need the clear sliding arm again can't use this with a thick stack of contracts
Easy to read when typing your letters that you have made a draft to follow. The curve helps keep the reflection of light off the page while holding the paper in place. So pleased the I purchased the curved desktop copy holder. I have tried the straight copy holders and had difficulties keeping the papers on the holder or the ruler slides down the page and I type the incorrect line causing a wast of time and frustration on my part. I have had to turn the straight copy holders until there is no glare off the lighting and many times it makes it hard to see what is being copied. Thank you for making the improvement.
After setting this up I find that even when not in use for the standard holder for items I am typing it serves as a mini-bulletin board on my desk. Keeps important issues upright where I can easily see them and no get lost in piles on my desk. Keeps it right in front of my eyes.
I am glad to finally find a paper stand that I can use where the papers are not falling over all of the time. A con though is that the stand takes up a lot of space and the page holder is a bit delicate and does not stay in place if I move it around. However a big benefit is that the clip does hold a lot of pages in place at once and the stand does not topple over when I am trying to get actual work done by typing. This has been a lifesaver in terms of improving my neck as I was feeling quite a bit of pain.
