Is the arm easy to move around? I need to able to constantly move it around and out of the way after using my tablet. Will it hold up?

It's stiff enough to keep the iPad in one place (but it does vibrate quite a bit while driving). Moving it is easy enough. The catches for the iPad are quite stiff and hold the iPad very securely. I'm happy with the product.

Yes your able move it around as you need it. Very durable and it should up. It has for me so far..

I have had my stand for about 4 months and use it on most wood and metal surfaces, and it has no issues. There are rubber pads on each arm to keep it from easily sliding around. But if when you need to slide it, take your hands of the keyboard and you can easily move as needed.

It's spring loaded so if you keep the spring loaded clips on the bottom in portrait orientation, you can just push them down with the tablet when taking it in and out. Pretty simple one handed operation.

yes easy to move around. difficult to put together. you might want to buy already assembled some place else.

There is a magnet that helps keep it closed but there is not one to keep it open. It does not have the elastic strap either. The only time I notice it is when I use the hand strap (seldomly and I am at my desk during most use) while holding the tablet up off of the table. If you need to be able to move the tablet around while using, this may not be the case for you..

We have not had a problem moving it around - however we do move it only once in a great while. I would highly recommend the iPad and iPhone I magnets both my husband and I love ours! And use them all the time!

not so much. i keep my view-screen pasted onto the body so its not a problem for me. but generally, theres not movement impairment except for the minuscule fact that the screen doesn't flop down 180 degrees from the closed face position. its a great buy, but i wish they could integrate the external chord so that it wouldn't be needed at all.

I love mine! Have had it a few years and have no problem at all. Once I put my tablet in it I have not taken it out.

I've had the case for months now and find it easy to insert and remove the tablet. That said, the plastic around the controls IS quite thin so I did manage to crack it (though the case is still perfectly usable). As long as you keep that in mind and remove your tablet carefully, you should have no issues.

If you have good arm strength, you'll be fine. Still have to help yourself up with your legs a little. The device itself is plenty sturdy enough.

There is a very good question. The keyboard/cover had many bad reviews. It warps. I did not purchase the keyboard/cover with the tablet.

Very stable. As long as the base is on a reasonably level surface, the stand holds the tablet in any position or slant that I put it in, and I can swipe, tap and type with no problem.

The arms aren't lockable, but the tension is adjustable. Touching the screen shouldn't cause much, if any, movement.

You can move your arms all you want if you do not hold onto the arm rest on top. Can even lean on it while going "hard core" on the stepper. Mine doesn't wobble side to side. Folds up semi-easily. Weighs roughly 35 pounds but, in awkward distribution. I actually don't keep mine folded up - keep it off to the side in my bedroom next to a dresser. Does not take up much space. I have quick weights and other exercise pieces underneath it on a pad. Easy to pick up and move where I want it to go. I usually have it facing the dresser, put my kindle on top of the dresser and watch Netflix while working out. You can move your arms all you want if you do not hold onto the arm rest on top.

Minimal shaking with a 4.5" phone. More with a 7" tablet but it has never fallen. You should use the adhesive mount on the back of a small tablet for good holding strength.

It is quite solid. It does not jiggle if you have balanced properly. One leg of the triangular base should always point parallel to where the tablet is being held above. Our 7 year old son uses it to read and play games. The tablet might move just slightly but I don't recognize it.

Good question. When I took it out of the package it felt like it was constructed of thin leather over heavy card stock. Sturdy but light weight. After using it everywhere from riding in the car (as a passenger) to holding it in bed reading at night I will say that the tiny bit of weight it adds is more than offset by how easy it is to hold and control the tablet now. So after several weeks of use I still recommend it. I hope this helps.
