GoDonut – Phone Stand Original – Cell Phone Holder + iPad Stand Desk Organizer – Compatible with Tablet, iPhone, Kindle & Most Smartphones – Black

Just be aware that it will not fit thick cases.

Useful and handy little device, easy to carry around. But if you keep your device in a case or cover, you’ll probably have to take the device out.

I was excited to purchase this item! I loved the fact that it was flat therefore making it easy to stuff in my purse without the bulkiness of a lip/shelf to rest my items on sticking out. I have several phone/tablet/ereader stands I have purchased. The other “flat” type stands, ie the triangle foldable stand that you can adjust to length of device, but they all fall over. I have an awesome stand that adjust in height and angle that holds any device with an anti slip material where the item goes and on the base, its so it’s sturdy and folds nicely to fit in bag but it has some weight to it. Hence why I was excited about the go donut.

It is a sturdy little item, slides easily into purse or even pocket and it’s light. It does give a few options of angles to use it on. So far I was loving it. But when I tested all my items on it I ran into a major snag…. I don’t know about all of you but I definitely have all my items in a case/cover. No matter what item I tried, my Samsung z fold 3, my Kindle, my Samsung tablet, my likebook ares drawing tablet my onyx boox color drawing tablet…none of them worked while in its case. I had to leave open the kindle cover instead of folding it back which just then flopped around and made it very unsteady and I tried both my thicker and thinner cases that I own to no avail, my fire tablet and Samsung tablet, as well as my phone where out as well due to being in a case (didnt seem to matter what style or thickness case was either). Smh what a bummer because those 4 devices are what I’d use it for the most. Now i did remove each item from their cases and tried it that way, and if course they all fit then but still when using my 10″ tablets standing up the way the go donut was a little iffy. The items were not secure in the base due to height. But I don’t want to have to remove each item from a case in order to use the stand, not at $20. I got it for a quick grab and go option and as I thought go donut intended via the name, for on the go and all the “convenience”. So due to this alone I’d give it 1 star for its ability to use, 3 stars for its sturdiness, 5 stars for its compact and travel, 5 stars for its weight.

If you don’t have a case on your device, or you don’t mind taking your item out of the cases each time to use it, then you will love this item. But for me personally ill stick with my good stand that tilts and raises and lowers and won’t drop any devices. Guess I’ll just stash my go donut somewhere in storage for now, so sad because I was so in love with it when I watched the videos and saw the pics.

The other stand that I was talking about above, I also purchased on Amazon for the same price!!! I’d highly recommend checking that out first. It’s called a universal folding adjustable tablet stand and comes in silver and black. It has an anti slip material where your device sit, and on the underside of base so it sit snug on any surface without slipping. This also has an arm that can extend in height as well as giving an option to tilt device down lower and angle in different directions. It does have some weight to it, it’s not over kill though lol. By far this is my utmost favorite stand to date and I carry this in my bag at all times and use on every device i own, with the cases on lol, and everyone is obsessed with it and ends up buying it after they borrow mine. I own 3 now haha! Hope this review helps, sorry it was long.

I was using a great phone stand until I added a holder strap to the back! The goDonut is perfect!! It doesn’t matter what is attached to the back of your phone!! Holds my phone securely.

The stand is great. Three suggestions though.

1. Make the slot for the phone slightly larger. When placing the phone in the stand, it goes in easy. When removing the phone from the stand, it’s a two handed job. The phone takes the stand with it since it’s so snug and so light even though it’s solid.

2. Cut slots for the home and back button areas. I’ve trimmed mine so I can access the buttons on the very bottom of the screen with out having to remove the on each time.

3. Make an area where the charger can sit in the bottom.
