I'm digging it, big time! Wish it was around when the only tablet I had was the 770 (and I lost one of the original stand's legs). I didn't see any other thread mentioning the product, which looks to have been around several months.

A hands-on video review can be found here: http://www.digitalhomethoughts.com/n...ce-holder.html

For reference, here are some thickness dimensions for the 4 native Maemo devices and the 2 HTC devices referenced in the above video review:

N900 - 18mm (19.55mm at thickest)
N800 - 13mm (18mm at top)
N810 - 14mm
770 - 14mm (19mm with cover)
HTC Tytn II - 19mm
HTC Touch Diamond - 11.35mm

I expect to have one (or two) ordered soon. I wouldn't mind using my 770 in the stand without the case. My N800 should fit just fine. My future N900 will be a questionable fit. Just yesterday I sent an inquiry to the iZel product team regarding thickness issues, recommendations, and whether they may offer a more accommodating model for thicker tablets/MIDs/PDAs/PMPs in the future. Of course I directed their attention to the N900 and the potential customer base growth should they produce a design more aptly suited to thicker devices.

I received a reply just this morning and was informed that there are plans to produce a design which will accomodate larger form factor devices but there is no further information at this time on its release. I can't say that implies it will fit thicker mobile devices, but perhaps larger ones in all dimensions. We'll have to wait and see, maybe they'll incorporate some additional means of adjustment to encompass nearly all form factors.


My take: Practical and simple design, appealing appearance, flexible compatibility. I have a little concern over its stability when making multiple presses on the screen but it should prove better than were it used with a physical keypad which usually requires more pressure. It should also grip better than the native N800 metal stand so I don't push my tablet around the desk. Not as compact as the factory 770 stand design was, but neither were some of the aluminum concepts some of us considered back in the day. For home, work, or travel this would be perfect. Wish it was cheaper, but when don't we wish that?

What say you?

Very interesting but I think it will block part of the keyboard on my N810, even if I use the onscreen keyboard.

I say I don't get your excitement, at least for the N800. I'm perfectly happy with the N800's stand, and it slides around my desk only if I push it. I have no desire for another thing to carry around, I love just having it built in.

I like my stands for the N800 and N810 just fine, and I don't use them that often. So my desire to spend significant bucks just to carry around something extra with me is about zero. It does look kinda cool, though.
