A Stand for Your iPhone (2/2)

Just Mobile Xtand for iPhone

By: Chris Pienta | Date: 25-Jun-08 | Comments

HELP SUPPORT

    I did not see any documentation or instructions included in the box. The Xtand itself is quite simplistic though and I didn't run into any issues at all putting it together.

BUGS AND WISHES

    I have an issue with the stability of the stand when touching the screen and buttons of the iPhone. The design of the Xtand lends itself to easy access to your iPhone but the stand will sometimes slide around when I'm trying to touch the screen and/or home button. I'm not quite sure how they could solve this without adding weight or suction cups. You could glue it down I guess...

    Another issue that may be bothersome is that the camera lens is covered when you use this stand.

PURCHASING

    The Xtand can be purchased from Expansys. The price is $50.95. A bit pricey for a phone stand.

PROS

  • Sophisticated look to go along with the iPhone

  • Quality construction

  • Easy to assemble

CONS

  • Slides around when trying to touch the screen

  • Camera gets covered
  • A bit pricey

OVERALL IMPRESSION

    There are other iPhone docks out there that offer more for the same price but they do not compare in style or quality in my opinion. The Xtand makes no claims of offering any technological advantage over other docks. It does however offer a better looking option. If you looking for a unique "cool" way to showcase or store your iPhone, this is definitely a great option.
