Griffin Travel stand works great

**NikkiB** · 07-07-2010, 12:06 PM

Hi all! This is my first ever post in a forum, but I've lurked for a while. Anyway, I found a great low priced alternative to a dock (until a nice one is available). Griffin makes a travel stand for Ipods and Iphones. I picked up one at Walmart ~$9.99 a few weeks ago, to use for air travel as a stand to watch movies. I have found that the stand holds the Incredible w/ my gradient red/black case perfect vertically with or without it plugged in to charge. Here's the link

Very cool. Thanks for the info.

NikkiB, thanks for taking the time to post up about the holder. I'll be snagging one for my DINC in the next day or so. Like you, I just joined up here and it's a great place to get up to speed on our new devices.

Does the Incredible fit inside of it, like the iPhone, or is it to big?

**NikkiB** · 07-07-2010, 03:47 PM

The Incredible fits inside so that it can be viewed vertically. Perfect fit with my case on. If I can figure out how to upload/attach the photos i took I'll add a few pictures!

**OldSchool** · 07-07-2010, 04:22 PM

NikkiB,
Here's what I did. I got the Photobucket App from the Market (its free). I'm sure Snapfish, etc. are also available. Once I got the Photobucket app on my DINC, I opened it up and configured the desired action using Settings. I checked the "automatic upload of my camera pictures" to an album on my Photobucket account that I created and called "Phone Uploads." Now when I take a pic with my DINC the photo is instantly sent to that album on Photobucket. Then I can copy the "image link" info from that picture and paste it into a message here like this:

You just paste the code here. No need to select the "Insert Image" button in the editor in the forum. (I took that pic of my DINC in the Proclip I installed in my car.)

OldSchool,
Thanks for the info! I figure it out and added pics to my original post

**Chiefmcfuz** · 07-07-2010, 04:30 PM

Looks like it fits nicely. good find!

**bigslam123#AC** · 07-08-2010, 12:37 PM

Can you use it in landscape mode while plugged in?

That looks like the ticket, nice and simple and hold it verticle. Will be going to Wal-mart later! thanks for the heads up.

this looks pretty sweet! just a heads up, i checked the reviews at amazon and apparently it is all rubber and plastic even though it looks like the frame is metal.

LOL I know I know I'm falling behind on my missions for caring for the Incredible. Actually I'm probably going to be ordering one Monday when I get some free time.

Now I like that I take it, it can fold in half small enough to hold the phone vertical too?

*Edit*

Looked up some videos on the Izel holder. That's the one I'm getting for sure.
($24.95 + free shipping) they sell them through amazon. You can pick them up at buy and a few other place too! This is it for me though! Thanks for that heads up for sures, time to take the Griffin back to Wal-mart.

I thought this review of different stands was interesting.

**Qazme** · 07-09-2010, 01:13 PM

I ordered my iZel should be here next week! This seems to be exactly perfect for me, can't wait to get it.

**crump13** · 07-09-2010, 02:13 PM

I ordered the iZel as well. The Last Stand Standing review gave it good marks.

**chadallnutt** · 07-11-2010, 10:15 AM

I found this one I haven't seen it posted yet so if it has sorry, If not great find

Looks nice. Not adjustable and you can't travel with it, so thats a no go for me. Nice stand though.

**makya53** · 07-13-2010, 06:02 AM

I just got this in for $9 from amazon and it only works in landscape with the extended batteries. The 2150 sits a little crocked like it wants to fall over. Seidio 3500 forget about it but dose sit nice sideways. Oh well it's $5 to ship it back I'll be charging @ night in landscape. Ordering the izel next.

**Qazme** · 07-13-2010, 10:48 AM

Well got my iZel in this morning. It works fantastic with my InnoII case on the phone! Depending on what cable you have to charge with you may not be able to charge it while in landscape, but this depends on what cable and what angle you have it set on.

First the front, it fit in really nicely vertically!

Here's the fit with the InnoII case. The InnoII adds about 2-3mm overall and fit securely within the "rubber" covering on the stand. With no case it would be a little loser. I would call this an almost perfect fit with this setup.

Using the GPS Status app I found the angles this thing adjusts through. I figured this may be important to the people like me who like to know all the stats of things before they buy it and this is what EVERY review left out. So using the app I found the angles, they are 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 degrees. In my opinion it's about every angle you would possibly need except maybe on an airplane with a low table if you are a taller person. At 60 degrees on my desk I have found is the perfect angle to use the phone one handed and no glare. At every angle the stand loses none of it's foot hold and remains very stable.

And of course it goes horizontal with the adjustments. And you can adjust the angle in which the phone sits.

And obviously the horizontal shots, looks great!

Hope you guys find this helpful making a decision. After getting it I know I made the right decision! The build quality/weight of the stand make it not want to tip over or feel cheaply made. The rubber is high quality and I feel there is no threat in it falling apart over time. Overall if I had to rate this stand for what it is I would give it a 9.5/10 for styling (black on grey), adjust-ability, stability, and durability. Have to take .5 point off for the price at $24.95 however they will give you free 2 day air UPS shipping through Amazon. Maybe even next day didn't try that option. Very pleased with it!

(As a side note in case anyone is wondering, that is the pmf v1.1 YASR stock android 2.1 ROM. So that is the stock Android desktop clock.)

Man, when and if you decide you want/need a different stand keep this one in mind, it oozes quality.

**makya53** · 07-13-2010, 12:11 PM

Qazme I just ordered mine from amazon. From your pics it looks like it will work with my 3500battery.

sent from my badass incredible

Thanks for the review and the pics. I have one on order and I hope to get it today or tomorrow. I believe I ordered it on Friday. I have the InnoII case as well so I now know it will fit perfectly.
