The only stand that is elegant, sturdy and yet functional
I am using this stand for my 12.9 iPad to keep it in portrait and landscape position. This stand does not have height or angle adjustment but I did not miss this as I am only using it for note taking, reading or occasionally watching movies. This stand cannot be used at all for video calls and that is why you will have to lift your iPad for face id unlock as your face will not be in the camera when the iPad is on the stand.However, the build of stand in very well made. It has rubber at all the right places avoid any scratches on the iPad. The stand is so minimal that you wont even notice it when the ipad is on it. The simplicity of this stand is it is winning feature. I loved it!!!

OK but it does wobble a bit
I read the reviews saying it isn't quite straight and wobbles, thinking they can't all be like that.Sure enough, the stand I received was slightly warped and wobbled. Less so with the weight of a macbook but if I were using it with an iPad it would be irritating - a good few mm of play.With such a high cost item, you expect better quality.

Best MacBook Pro stand on the market.
The ParcSlope stand by Twelve South is a lovely looking and well packaged MacBook stand. Inside the elaborate box, you'll find the stand well placed in a padded purpose designed box with an accompanying 'thank you' note that explains 'humorous' alternate uses of the ParcSlope stand... The packaging is what you'd expect for a high-end, Apple wanna-be product but I take a certain pleasure in the hypocrisy of Twelve South's statement "Our Flag is red and our hearts are green. So if you could, do the earth a favor [sic] and find a fun way to re-use your ParcSlope box". The packaging though nice, is wholly unnecessary and surplus to requirement by any standards - certainly to a company who claim their "heart is green"... It's definitely being positioned to the Mac Fanboy type customer who sheds tears of joy at 'packaging'...Regardless, I measure a product on it's quality, whether it's fit for purpose and whether it lasts an acceptable amount of time, while fulfilling said purpose.The stand is narrow enough to no doubt fit a small 11" MacBook Air and sturdy enough to use on a 15" MacBook Pro as I do. There are rubber/silicone pads on that secure the MacBook in place and prevent sliding around or slippage. The space underneath is just large enough to house the power adaptor (as seen in my photo) which helps to keep everything neat and tidy and whether it's by design or not, is an added bonus. Made of similar aluminium to the MacBook Pro, only the silicone/rubber is off colour which adds a little cheapness to the finish. But only a little.The angle is nice for typing without needing a separate keyboard but I use a bluetooth mouse rather than the trackpad when on the stand. Personal preference. I use it along side a dual screen (27" and 32") PC setup and the height of the screen sits alongside nicely.I'd recommend this over the rubbish wobble-tron stand that Apple sell in their stores these days. Although low enough to allow continued use of the existing keyboard and touchpad, consider getting another keyboard and mouse/track pad as it may be easier on the wrists/shoulders in time. Only time will tell for me.5 Stars! A highly recommended MacBook Pro stand.

Brilliantly designed laptop stand
Really delighted with this laptop stand. I am using it with a MacBook Pro. It is makes typing much more comfortable, causing you to sit with a better posture, so fewer aches and pains. It also raises the screen up to a better height - not eye level, but no need to stoop to see it. It is sturdy and stable with no movement (and i type with 'heavy fingers'). It is excellent quality, but heavy so don't count on carrying it around much - mine stays on my desk at home. The simple wire tidy holes at the back are great. This is a pricey item compared to the competition but I suspect you get what you pay for and I recommend you get this product ahead of cheaper imitations.

I am very pleased with this
I am very pleased with this. It holds my 13" MBA securely. The typing angle is very comfortable.I have not used it with my IPad Pro as it is set up as part of my home work station but I did have that in mind when I made the purchase.The screen height, as a result of the elevation, is good and it sits well next to my monitor.There is no movement as I type: I was concerned with some the taller devices that there could be flexing as one typed.I did not give it 5 stars as it is not cheap and Amazon offer a looky-likey stand for about twenty quid cheaper that seems to offer all the same advantages which I only found out about after I made the purchase.

Nice compact stand
I am happy with this purchase. It elevates my computer screen to just the right height for me personally. It was literally just a case of unpacking and place on the desk. No setup is required. I like that it can be used for the iPad also.
