Very strong - far stronger than it needs to be even for a normal sized iPad. It is ideal for the mini as well. You feel confident that it's not going to bend or break, and the fact that the iPad isn't raised more than a few millimetres means it can't topple over. The gap is wide enough to be able to keep the smart cases on too. Thicker cases maybe not.The finish is excellent and the metal edges, that could potentially touch the screen when you're placing the tablet in it, are properly covered with the silicone insert.I could do without the Akasa logo being as bold, or where it is, but that's really just a tiny niggle.Overall I'd certainly buy it again, and will consider them as a gift for people who "have everything".I have bought many accessories, including various stands for my iOS & Mac devices over the years. Normally my high expectations aren't met, usually they haven't been manufactured to the Apple standard. That is until now, this stand arrived in perfect condition, looks great and functions exactly as I had expected.The stand offers two positions to display your device, one which is perfect for typing/surfing and another which is ideal for viewing movies etc.If you are looking for a reasonably priced & versatile stand, look no further.Der Ständer ist top, es gibt nicht viel auszusetzen. Lediglich die Gummifüße sind etwas kurz geraten, sodass man beim Abstellen auf empfindlichen Oberfläche besser vorsichtig agiert.Ich habe den Ständer für mein Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact gekauft. Dafür ist er eindeutig, sowohl was Abmessungen, als auch Nutbreite und -tiefe angehen, überdimensioniert. Dennoch kann man ihn problemlos verwendenParfait petit support pour tablette. Stable, aspect robuste et élégant.Idéal dans la cuisine pour écouter de la zic en bluetooth tout en cuisinant les bons petits plats en suivant la recette sur la tablette.(Tablette MI Mipad ou Samsung galaxy tab S)j'ai apprécié la solidité, mais surtout le coté très pratique, 3 position idéales, rien à redire.La qualité est là.
