Makes an amazing netbook holder!
on April 12, 2011
Posted by: Paula K.
I open the stand as far back as it will go (last notch) and use a rubber band/paper clip combo to keep the legs connected then turn the product backwards so the "lip" is away and the "lift" is foreward. Then I slide the netbook on so it is held in place by the "lip". The result is an air space under the netbook PLUS the front is lifted and provides a wrist rest while I type PLUS I can pick everything up and set it on a rug or the bedspread or pillow or even carry it around conveniently if I have to leave the rocking chair or bed or kitchen table. This reversed direction (see photo) positions the keys at an optimal angle to prevent carpel (doesn't require me to lift up the fingers to reach the qwerty or digits or FN rows). Will consider getting another just in case but it's a tuff little worker. Slips into soft-side case to offer armor to the netbook. I'd give it a 5 if the last notch would stay latched which I'd also need for book reading. But paperclip and rubber band do the trick. I have worked using this combo for 6-8 hours without any hand or arm fatigue. In the rocking chair I run the mouse on the chair arm. Out on the steps in the sun I run the mouse on my pant legs. Or I can just unplug the mouse. This bookholder is FAR better on a plane than the dropdown table that the kid in front of you is constantly jiggling. It's the best portable table I've ever had the pleasure of using. I might even use it as a book reader but for that purpose it doesn't look like it will hold a book open without a major rubber band across the book and around the back. But since I can read PDFs...

This suited my needs perfectly. I’m teaching over Zoom and this holds my materials and the angle adjusts to suit my needs. I needed a stand where the page holders can be folded down so I can use it for a binder. This has that feature. Really for being as adjustable as it is and a few other nice little features this is great for the price. When it arrived and my wife (also and educator) saw it she ordered one for herself. It may not be the sturdiest bookstand but it’s sturdy enough and again the price!

Sort of Flimsey

The 2 holders seem not to be movable. One broke in attempting to adjust and this was done with a light hand. The holders should be made of a sturdier material such as a metal and should be moveable (right and left). How can we obtain a no cost replacement for now?

great portable music stand
on February 26, 2014

I saw several other uke players using this at our play-a-longs and asked them where they got the cool music stand.....turns out it's really a booklift copy holder! It works great as a music stand when we are just playing at a resturant or at somebody's house. Don't need to drag my heavy music stand along.
