Large-tablet stand; Frameshift

The Frameshift stand is an unusual one. It is very simple in function, but very advanced in looks and design.
It costs nearly $100, and you can get stands with a similar function much cheaper, but there's no denying that it works well, it's compact and light when folded (made from high grade aluminum), and it just looks great. You can get it in silver, black, blue, and red. Again, the burgundy/cherry red is my favorite.

If the price difference is no problem for you, and you like this fancy aluminium-X, I say go for it.


This is seen from the back. The arm adjusts steplessly, so you can get any angle you want, with the tablet leaning against the other side of the X. It's for full sized tablets. It can almost hold an iPad Mini, but not well, the bottom rubber supports are just a few milimeters too far apart in portrait orientation. 

For smaller tablets and phones, the Frameshift Mini does better:

It looks rather different, but the principles are the same: simple, pretty, stepless angle, lightweight.
