It doesn’t matter if the phone is in a case or not as the key is having the camera over the whole in the top of the stand for scanning the page in the bottom of the stand. The stand is tricky to set up and is a bit flimbsy as it is made out of cardboard, though it is also very light weight and folds down quite thin. The power supply or battery pack runs the LED lights so yu have consistent lighting, which is its unique feature. If yu are going to go with this one, get the Power bundle, that way yu get the AC adapter and battery case for 8 double A batteries so yu can use it when not around an AC outlet. However, for a lot less money, I prefer the Fopydo Scanning Stand. It is made from corrigated plastic, so much more durable and has such an open design that lighting is seldom an issue and it too can be used with or without a case on the phone. Plus, the Fopdydo can be used with an iPad Mini as it is sturdy enough to hold the weight. I have the descriptions and links to the various stands on my web page at: http://www.turner42.x10host.com/ScanningStands.html HTH, Richard From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Portillo Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2016 1:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Advice on StandScan Pro One question to add to my other questions regarding the StandScan Pro. Can it be used when your iPhone is in a case? Mine’s a very lightweight case, but I didn’t know if it would get in the way of scanning a picture. Thanks again. Jim From: Jim Portillo [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2016 1:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Advice on StandScan Pro Good afternoon, I’m seriously considering getting a StandScan Pro to use with my iPhone, especially with such scanning apps as the KNFBReader. I’d like to know people’s thoughts on it. How easy is it for a totally blind person to not only use but also to assemble and disassemble? I know it comes with a power supply or a battery pack. Do you recommend one over the other? I figured a tool like this would allow me to take much better pictures of things than what I currently take. If you don’t like the StandScan, what would you use instead that would give me the same results? Any help or advice would be appreciated.
