Xtand: Perfect Stand for iPhone\iPodtouch

Just Mobile, a Taiwanese manufacturer of iPhone\iPodTouch accessories since 2005 introduces Xtand an all-aluminum iPhone\iPod Touch stand which matches the feel of the Mac perfectly. In fact, it looks almost exactly like a miniature Cinema Display base, except instead of a monitor at the top, there's an idevice.

The material is solid aluminum, brushed to match your Mac products. The holder where you set the device has rubberized corner 'bumpers' which both hold the device in place and make sure it's notgetting scratched at all from sitting in the stand. The holder also swivels 360 degrees – so you can use your device vertically or horizontally depending on your liking. There's a knob on the back which you turn to loosen the holder to swivel it. And, for you OCD folks out there, the stand has a hole in the vertical part of the base which let's you run your iPhone cable through it to manage desk clutter as well.

                  

Since the device is solid aluminum, there's no way to change the angle it sits at, but it is a perfect angle for both watching videos or using the device. It is weighty enough to not move when you are tapping and swiping on the idevice, although when you press the home button you use a bit more pressure so you'll need to hold the stand so it doesn't slide around.

This stand by far is our favorite from what we've seen and tested. It looks great on the desk, matches all the equipment, and is functionally efficient. The ability to swivel the screen is much appreciated, and it's an all around durable and well-made item. You can find the Xtand at quite a few places, and it retails for $39.95. Amazon's got it at $31 right now.

We have seen a lot of iPhone\iPodTouch stands – but they don't compare to the Xtand!
