Performance
The aluminum support bar snaps out cleanly and adjusts to multiple angles for different viewing positions. The front flap flexes to accommodate phone thickness—works with cases or naked devices. It holds phones and small tablets securely in both portrait and landscape orientation without tipping. The polypropylene base stays put on flat surfaces, and the brushed aluminum construction feels solid despite the thin profile. Users report years of durability with no signs of wear—the hinge stays tight and the materials don't crack. Setup takes seconds: unsnap, adjust angle, slide phone in. No fiddling, no collapsing mid-movie.
