The Amazon Basics Adjustable is the most budget-friendly stand that still retains versatility while having a unique, fold-up design for ultimate portability. It comes as a compact, lightweight unit, which can be easily unfolded by pulling out the legs and standing up the backrest. The legs have three different width options, which can accommodate screens from a smartphone to a twelve-inch tablet. The back pivots easily to accommodate a variety of viewing angles, and the rubber contact points on the bottom of the stand ensure it stays put on a solid, smooth surface. 
Constructed from cheap-feeling black plastic, it isn't the sleekest design, but the plastic also makes it extremely lightweight. We can foresee the rubber on the bottom of the stand losing its stickiness over time, but overall we were pleased with the stability it provided. This stand is a great choice for those on a budget who seek something simple and functional.

The Best Tripod for iPhones and Other Smartphones

If you want a tablet stand that makes an excellent workstation out of your iPad and can sit comfortably on your bed for binging your favorite TV shows, look no further than the Tablift by Nbryte. With its large, fold-out gooseneck legs and bulky plastic tablet holder, our testers initially found its design to be unconventional. Our skepticism faded when we discovered how the sturdy gooseneck legs are fully flexible and can contour around your body while you lie in bed, creating a stable viewing experience. They also prop your tablet up to an eye-level height, which makes for a great workstation. With the addition of a wireless keyboard, you can easily have a desktop-like setup. 
There are only four viewing angle options, where you put the tablet in different grooves in the holder and secure it in place with a convenient bungee strap. But the viewing angles will cover most of your bases, with an innovative low-angle setting for when you are lying in bed. The stand is quite bulky and heavy, and although the gooseneck legs can bend underneath the unit, it is not an ideal stand for traveling. If you use your tablet stand primarily to view videos in bed, on a couch, or other uneven surfaces, this is the one to have. 

With a sleek and stylish design, the Lamicall Desktop Stand is a sturdy, high-quality option. This model is made of stainless steel and has a fixed height of less than five inches tall. Its hinged cradle allows for different viewing angles and stays in place but is still easy enough to adjust to a new angle. Rubberized points on the cradle protect your tablet, while a cutout on the back allows you to tuck charging cables away. The overall footprint of this model is small, taking up very little space on your desk or counter. It worked well as an auxiliary screen at our desk and a quick swipe recipe reference in our kitchen.
We had very few gripes about this stand. However, we should note that because the cradle raises the tablet about an inch off the table, it is not conducive to typing on the tablet for extended periods. &#40;It is typically more ergonomic to rest your wrists on a surface while typing&#41;. Still, we love this model for its simple, high-quality design at an affordable price.

If you want a bigger stand for larger and heavier devices, we like the @Rest. It’s a bit bulky, though, and harder to store than the Stump Stand.
