When the Giraffe stand was new, I bought one to test for my work. It is a good concept, that only fits one phone size at a time; i.e. you cannot adjust it if you get a bigger phone you have to buy another stand, at a stupidly high price. If you want an excellent cardboard stand, the ScannerBin is great for $12.50 at Amazon. I have info about it on my web site under the scanning stands heading. www.turner42.com
