What it does well.
Key features
The defining functions of this SKU are separated from assumptions so size, materials, adjustment and intended use remain clear.
- Foldable desktop design for listed 4–12.9in tablets after checking size, mass and case geometry.
- Two resistance hinges, each shown with up to 180° movement, provide height and tilt adjustment.
- Enlarged 236cm² support area and approximately 140mm panel width.
- Aluminium-alloy body with silicone contact and base pads.
- Front retaining lips help keep a properly seated tablet from sliding forward.
- Open/slotted support panel leaves part of the device rear exposed to air.
- Folds into a flatter form for storage and transport.
- Fixed base: the hinges adjust vertically and by tilt; no horizontal swivel base is verified.
Performance and planning
Plan around the complete setup, not a headline alone. Fit, stability and protection depend on the attached device, surface, loading, handling and surrounding conditions.
Hinge resistance must balance device mass and angle. A large tablet, thick case or heavy keyboard changes leverage, so begin low and steep before testing a higher, flatter position.
The open panel can improve exposure to ambient air, but it is not an active cooling system and cannot prevent device thermal throttling.
Touch or stylus pressure can move a high, shallow-angle setup. For intensive drawing or tapping, lower the stand and keep the tablet centred.
Use scenarios
These examples show practical uses while keeping the compatibility and safety checks elsewhere in this guide in force.
Reading and streaming. Set a compatible tablet at a stable viewing angle on a firm desk while keeping ports and speakers unobstructed.
Video calls. Raise the screen modestly for framing, then test that tapping controls does not shift the hinges.
Recipe or reference display. Use in a dry clean area away from sinks, steam, splashes and unstable counter edges.
Light stylus work. Lower the support panel and use gentle input; this is not a pressure-rated drawing easel.
Setup and usability guidance
Use this sequence for a deliberate first setup. Follow the connected-device maker’s stricter instruction whenever it differs.
- Place the folded stand on a clean, flat, rigid desk with the full base pad in contact with the surface.
- Hold the base down while opening the lower hinge slowly, then adjust the upper hinge to a conservative upright angle.
- Remove debris from the silicone contact strips and front retaining lips.
- Centre the tablet on the support panel with its lower edge fully seated behind both front stops.
- Check that the case, buttons, speakers, charging port and camera are not obstructed.
- With one hand ready to catch the tablet, tap and swipe lightly to test hinge movement and base grip.
- For a larger or heavier tablet, lower the height and make the panel more upright to reduce leverage.
- Remove the tablet before readjusting aggressively, moving the stand or folding it for storage.
Compatible devices and systems
Compatibility depends on dimensions, mounting interface, mass and physical clearance. A screen-size label or familiar shape is only a starting point.
- Tablets in the listed 4–12.9in screen-size class when their physical dimensions, mass and centre of gravity remain stable on the panel.
- Bare tablets and slim cases can be candidates if the lower edge seats inside the front retaining lips.
- Thick protective cases, keyboard cases, pop-out grips and attached hubs can prevent secure seating or shift the centre of gravity.
- Charging while supported is possible only when the port and cable route remain clear and impose no side pull.
- No laptop compatibility is for SKU 40291; laptop bases, keyboards and load distribution require a purpose-built laptop stand.
- Operating system and tablet brand are irrelevant to this passive stand; geometry and stability decide fit.
What this product does
These are the product’s supported physical functions when it is selected and used correctly.
- Raises and tilts a compatible tablet on a stable desktop.
- Provides two 180°-listed resistance hinges for positioning.
- Uses silicone contact areas to improve grip and reduce direct metal contact.
- Supports portrait or landscape placement when the tablet remains centred and the lower edge is retained.
- Folds for easier storage and transport.
What this product does not do
These exclusions distinguish this product from visually similar protective, mounting or cable-management accessories.
Choose by function: If the required task appears in this exclusion list, select a purpose-built product with the needed rating or interface.
- It does not have a laptop working role for this SKU.
- It does not horizontally swivel at the base.
- It does not lock the tablet in place or protect it from a knock, fall or theft.
- It does not provide active cooling, a fan, charging, data connectivity or a USB hub.
- It does not have a 5kg working-load rating; the gallery’s 5000g value is a test reference only.
- It does not guarantee stability with thick cases, keyboard attachments or forceful stylus input.
What to do
These habits improve day-to-day usability and help protect devices, cables and surfaces.
- Use the stand on a clean, level, non-flexing surface.
- Adjust both hinges with two hands while controlling the base and panel.
- Centre the tablet and confirm both front stops engage the lower edge.
- Keep the setup low and upright for larger or heavier tablets.
- Test stability after adding a case, charger cable or attached accessory.
- Remove the tablet before moving or folding the stand.
What not to do
Avoid these common mistakes even if the product appears to fit.
- Do not place a laptop on this tablet stand based on the old page wording.
- Do not force a hinge beyond its natural stop or twist the panel sideways.
- Do not place the stand on a bed, sofa, unstable tray or narrow shelf.
- Do not pull a charging cable across the desk where it can tip the stand.
- Do not leave a valuable tablet near an edge or where children or pets can strike it.
- Do not use damaged, loose or slipping hinges as if they still retain the original position.
Warnings and limitations
Review these limits before using the product around valuable equipment, power cables, children or pets.
Stop and recheck: Remove the device or disconnect equipment if the setup slips, strains, overheats, becomes wet or no longer matches the use.
- The stand does not clamp the device. A bump, cable pull or unstable surface can release the tablet.
- Hinge and pinch points can trap fingers; keep hands clear while folding and opening.
- A larger device creates more leverage. Lower it immediately if either hinge drifts or the base lifts.
- Silicone pads can lose grip when dusty, oily or wet. Clean and dry both pads and desk before use.
- Keep the aluminium stand away from live electrical parts, liquids, open flame and high heat.
Check before ordering
Check the complete physical setup before choosing by a product photo or screen-size label.
- The device is a tablet in the listed 4–12.9in class, not a laptop.
- Its mass and centre of gravity remain stable at the planned angle despite no load rating.
- The installed case fits between the front stops and lies securely on the 140mm-wide support panel.
- Ports, speakers and camera remain clear.
- A fixed base without horizontal swivel matches the use.
- The desk is flat, clean and away from edges and traffic.
Care and troubleshooting
Use gentle cleaning and change one variable at a time when diagnosing fit, stability or cable-routing problems.
- Remove the tablet and wipe aluminium with a soft dry or barely damp cloth. Do not let liquid enter hinge joints.
- Clean silicone pads with a soft damp cloth, then dry them and the desk fully before use.
- If the stand slides, remove dust or oil, move to a firmer surface and lower the tablet.
- If a hinge drifts, remove the device and stop using that angle. No user tightening procedure is verified, so do not dismantle the hinge.
- Fold slowly with both hands and store where other objects cannot bend the panel or strike the joints.

Questions buyers ask.
Is SKU 40291 a laptop stand?
No. Official identification and current gallery specify a tablet stand for the listed 4–12.9in class.
What tablet size is listed?
4–12.9in, subject to actual dimensions, case shape, mass and stability.
Does the base swivel sideways?
No horizontal swivel base is verified. The two hinges adjust height and tilt.
How far do the hinges move?
Each hinge is shown with up to 180° of movement. Do not force a joint beyond its natural stop.
What is the panel size?
Can it hold 5kg?
Can I use a keyboard case?
Only if it seats behind the front stops and the complete setup remains centred and stable. Thick keyboard cases often change leverage.
Does it cool the tablet?
The open panel exposes more rear area to ambient air but provides no active cooling or thermal guarantee.
Can I draw on the tablet?
Use a low stable angle and gentle pressure. The stand is not a pressure-rated drawing easel.
Can I charge while it is on the stand?
Yes only if the port remains clear and the cable has enough slack to avoid pulling the stand.
What if a hinge starts slipping?
Remove the tablet and stop using that angle. Do not dismantle or improvise a hinge repair.
How should I move it?
Remove the tablet first, control both hinges with two hands, then fold or reposition the stand.
