Lamicall Adjustable Playstand

In January of this year, I searched online for a stand that I could utilize for my Nintendo Switch. When I was carrying my Switch everywhere I went, I found it inconvenient to have to use the little built-in kickstand in the back of the Nintendo switch. The kickstand is very breakable, not very flexible, and can become difficult to pull out. There was also a huge problem when it came down to charge my Nintendo Switch. The charging port for the Switch is in the center bottom of the console. I could not use the built-in stand and charge my switch at the same time to continue my game. The Lamicall Adjustable Playstand was one of the affordable choices I saw on the first page of Amazon. I decided to order it for $15.

The main reason I ordered it was because of its ability to hold my Nintendo switch and charge simultaneously. Not only was the stand effective with its ability to charge and hold the Switch, but I was also surprised with the quality PlayStand. The stand is made of aluminum alloy which is proving very durable.

The stand also has a rubber grip that holds any mobile device without scratching it. The bottom of the stand also has 4 rubber grips which help prevent it from slipping on the surface it’s on. This makes the stand safe for mobile devices.

The Playstand has proved to be a very useful accessory due to its compact and portable design. The stand is learnable as anyone can set it up at any angle and easily fold it with little to no instruction. Its simple design if memorable as I don’t even have to think about how to use when I pull it out of its case or out of my pocket. I can easily fold it to take on the go in my Switch case/bag, put it in my pocket, and store it away with the rest of my Nintendo Switch accessories. I tend not to store it away as I also now use it for my iPhone XR. Its become really useful for my iPhone as I can watch a video on Youtube while on the stand, either with the phone up vertically or horizontally.

The stand is efficient at its purpose because it’s never out of balance when I adjust the angle for my Switch or for my phone. I don’t have an Ipad or larger tablet to try on the stand but I’m sure it would work fine with larger devices. I’ve been completely satisfied with this product since day one and I’ll be using it until I replace it with a new one. At the time of this journal entry I cannot come up with any improvements on the stand’s design as it met my needs and exceeded its usefulness. My wife kept stealing my stand off my desk for her mobile work phone, so I had to order a second one for her.
