Test of an inexpensive, foldable mini support for iPhone and iPad mini

After offering you a
selection
of original iPhone supports in this article, then thetest
a foldable iPad stand here, we wanted to test some
More traditional iPhone supports but which remain inexpensive.

To begin with, here is a standfor the iPhone but also for
iPad mini or other smartphoneswhich combines several
specific features: in addition to its rather small size, it is in fact foldable, it
is especiallyvery inexpensive!

Judge instead:

• 
  The support in blue is offered here at the price of 3.5 euros

Ordered directly, on Amazon, you should know that support is coming
directly from Asia so it takes a little time (nearly 2 weeks). He arrives
in a simple envelope (which probably explains the shipping costs
free) containing a small, lightweight packaging box. But don't worry,
the support does not really seem fragile, in any case, no damage to note
reception.

The whole thing is made of plastic and the design is very simple: a
A single joint allows you to open the two parts which will serve as a foot. At
end, it is a slightly more flexible rubber part with a notch which
allows you to place and secure the mobile.

The joint can be opened with a variable angle to accommodate the
times the width of a smartphone (vertical position) or its length, more
stable and perfectly suited to watching a video for example.

Here is the support in use:

The joint allows a maximum opening of 12 cm.

With the iPhone in landscape mode:

And in vertical mode:

We tested with a latest generation iPad mini, no problem, all
is very stable:

The holder can also be used with a protected iPhone, as long as
the shell is not too thick. FYI, the size of the notches is 9
mm at the base.

Here with a transparent shell (the one tested here)

In the end, we were seduced by a rather ingenious all-purpose support,
very easy to carry in a pouch. It turned out to be quite stable, even
if the position with the iPhone vertical is a little more delicate in terms of
stability due to the very small width of the iPhone. All this for one
minimum pricewho knows how to be forgotten.

We also note the possible scalability of this type of support which if it
can be used with most current smartphones, tablets
lightweight like the iPad mini, should also be usable with
next generations of iPhone. An excellent support when traveling by
example.
