im afraid of throwing this in my backpack because it might break. Had to buy because this was the only small book stand staples had and it can fold up so i can put it away in my drawer.
I needed a document holder badly. This was fine until used with Textbooks and with space needs. My rented textbook was ruined because of the sharp design of the holders-which fall out continually. The size seemed right at the time because of the ability to size accordingly but the smallest size (which is what I need usually) is not small enough and is not easy to secure. The rest of it is great for single page holders that will be removed instead of turned like a page.
I bought this book holder for our music stand at Church. We have a lot of small and large music books we move back-and-forth during our Divine Liturgy. We were always having to hold the pages open on the current book for others (or ourselves) in order to sing. This holder fits perfectly on the music stand--in collapsed form--and the two page holders at the bottom work exactly like we need them to in order to keep the pages from flipping on us or the book from closing. The two little tabs that keep the pages in place are really clever; they have a bit of stiffness which is perfect in order to push them down turn the page then push them back into position. Definitely recommend it for anyone using a music stand who experiences the same kind of issues with music books/sheet music.
