Olixar Vista Universal Stand for Smartphones & Tablets Reviews

I needed a phone stand for my desk because my phone kept getting buried under paperwork resulting in my frequently leaving it behind when going home. Not a problem now the stand keeps my phone in view and clear of any damage.

Does what it says and provides a compact stand for mobile or tablet

Does the job really well. I can read the news comfortably while eating breakfast. Who could ask for more!

This is a fairly sturdy stand and looks very nice too. The only thing to note, is I wouldn't try to operate the smartphone whilst on the stand, as it could topple over. Basically just use it as a stand.

Good. It could be better. Not strong enough.

This product is way too small for my ipad. It tips over very easily.
The claim that it is suitable for tablets is extremely misleading.

Look, if you don't have a protective case on the Note 9 then this will work just fine. However I have a case and the front lip is too small to hold the phone on the platform correctly. So if I touch the phone while on the case, it comes right off. Just to set the phone on it, is hit an miss. Now I am stuck with two of these things.

The product does what it states. I like that it's light and looks good too.

The stand is good for phones and small tablets. My tablet is a Samsung 10.1 it is too big and heavy for the stand.

Cannot use to hold iPad Air or iPad Pro, the stand is just too small. Not versatile enough for me. Lucky I bought this 1 get 1 free. If on a normal price, I don’t think it’s worth it.

Simple and effective. One in the office and one in the kitchen

Bought two of these Olixar Vista Universal Stand for Smartphones & Tablets, during the BOGOF offer, and am very pleased with this purchase.

It is a very smart stand for my Huawei smartphone and I am using one at my desk - looks professional and attractive with my screensavers, and allows me to see calls (as I have the phone set on silent). The other one is on my bedside table which, with its minimalist design, is perfect for the smartphone to be charging while displaying the night-clock app.

Being slick and minimalist, it is excellent for any smartphone, but I found it a bit too small for a tablet. My Samsung tablet is a bit too large and heavy for this stand and I would not be comfortable using it for that device.

In summary, a simple and attractive stand for a smartphone (for the home and office), but not secure enough for a tablet.

It is fit for purpose

Firm base but only one angle for use which is quite upright

Not the best quality but is ok & does the job. It doesn’t fold flat which is a shame for travelling.

If the item was suitable for all flat phones and tablets

It would have been good if it could fold flat..

This is a great little stand for an iPhone.
However, while a great improvement on anything I've had before with the tablet. I often need to view the iPad in portrait mode and it is simply too lightweight for this; and even when viewing data in landscape mode the slightest touch can make it overbalance.
I would be very happy to invest in a slightly larger one - the design is wonderful.

Would have liked it to fold flat for popping in my bag. Brilliant to stick my phone on in a small space reading a book whilst drinking a coffee.

Perfect for the job.

The rim at the base of the stand is not big enough to safely hold a 10in tablet, it barely holds a Smart Phone. All it will do is act as a stand, the moment a device is touched it falls out of the stand. Fortunately my wife has found a use for it, so I was able to avoid having to return it.

I thought for the price that it would be a bit more substantial in weight. It is a bit flimsy for what I was wanting.

The description was good

Thank you for sending me the Olixar Vista Universal Stand for the smartphones. We are using it often for video chat so it is very useful.

Great product, good quality but it’s overpriced in my opinion

A solid bit of kit which looks good on my desk.

It works OK, but I have a note 9 with a case and the lip is not high enough to keep it secure. I've had to mod it to get it to stay put while in portrait mode. Landscape it works OK.

It could alos benefit from having more weight in the bottom of the base. You can open it up so will add some ballast myself.

To make it truly portable would have been nice to have the back stand actually fold down.

The only downside is it won't fold flat

I really like the stand but you can’t put your iPad long ways on because it’s a bit top heavy And falls over witch is the way I like to use it. But if you’re happy to put it the other way round then it’s great.

I can't believe how I managed before I purchased this stand. I've been propping up my phone and tablet with things like empty cartons and boxes etc. Now I have this stand, using my phone and tablet one-handed is much easier and so much more comfortable.

I am very pleased with my purchase of the Olixar Vista Phone stand
My phone fits and stands perfectly on to it and I find it easy to use I always had it flat on the table or desk and I would recommend for resting or standing the phone

Is it suitable for the motog6 yes it is much better the phone stands rather than ours wife loves it really good

The lip that secures the base of the phone is thin. If you have a case on your phone it slips out easily. Further the stand does not fold flat for storage and has very limited adjustment. Materials are good quality

It would have been better if this would fold flat to allow it to be put on a bag for travel. When putting a phone in it with a slim cover it can slip up over the retaining lip at the front when the desk gets knocked so is not as secure as I though it would be. After two days use the tablet cannot be supported in the most upright position as the weight of the tablet proves too much. As a product it is okay, but not up to my expectations.

This perfectly fit my needs. It's nice and compact while being very sturdy.

The viewing angles are not flexible enough, and the phone sits far too upright in the cradle.
Also the unit does not fold flat, which is a great irritation when travelling.
Apart from that, it's OK.

This does what it should do very well. It doesn't slip or slide and supports my devices well. Only given 4 stars because you can't fold it flat to carry around easily.

It met my expectations

This small stand for Phones and smaller objects is brilliant in that it is solid, classy and looks like it should be on display. Similarly too for the larger products from this supplier for iPads and Laptops. Highly recommended in every way.

Very pleased with the product. Bought it for my grandchildren and they are very happy with it and find it very comfortable to use. Also a very good price.

Very well made but I was disappointed that it did not fold flat for travelling.

Very convenient device to support the mobile telephone whilst not in your hand. As I have a full cover on my mobile I can still use this device by folding cover back. Handy to see if messages and calls come through whilst mobile is on silent.
Didn't find it practical for the iPad as the cover I have have already supports the iPad in an upright position to see.

This little stand looks good and is effective in holding both my phone and my tablet in a comfortable position. As always, product quality, value for money and speed of delivery were excellent

Not worth it, doesn't fold flat and I bought a much better one in a pound shop. Waste of money.Had to give it a star but would have preferred not to.

Ideal for phone and ipad. Well made and prompt delivery

Just works well and looks good too.

This unit is simple and effective but is unable to be completely folded flat for traveling. This point detracts from its true potential as a constant companion!

... but very efficient, even for a large tablet.

useful and not expensive

Exactly as advertised works great for me.
Feels, looks and responds as a quality product!

Stand is small but strong enough to hold my 10.5 tablet - I use it with my phone and all tablers

Glad I decided to buy these as
the phones and pads don’t always sit at the perfect viewing angle. They have a quality finish, they work, they’re practical,thank you.

Useless as it doesn’t support an Ipad in portrait which is why I purchased it!. It holds my phone but not my Ipad so this is misleading advertising!

Excellent for your mobile devices wether reading or charging can see at once where they are, no scratches on face of devices.

You get what you pay for sure.
These are not fit for purpose, they were cheap but do not stand up to the job. Ipads fall over and Iphone7+ similar.

I bought for my tablet as it can be charged in landscape mode. There is no option to have the stand set so the tablet sits more upright as the support just falls back to the default under the weight of the table ( Samusung 9 inch ).

Great product & very useful for holding up my iPhone.

Once wife worked out which way it was meant to be up. Work fine on holding phone.
Could help with picture of how item should look when in use.

I like all Olixar products - their quality is oustanding - well made and good overall value. This stand is compact and does what it is supposed to do.

Handy product and on offer two for the price of one. I have one in my office and one in the lounge. I can see emails and other notifications as they come in without having to pick the phone up. Really useful purchase.

See short review

Great looking product with efficient design

This product is just what I needed. It holds my iPhone in a number of positions. It looks good on my desk or coffee table.
Well done Mobilefun.

This is a very simple but neat and smart-looking phone stand. You change the angle of the phone by changing the angle of the prop at the back. This works well. If you want to charge your phone while it is on the stand, it will need to be in landscape position. My only disappointment is that the prop part does not fold down flat. I had assumed that it would and that the stand would therefore be a great one to have for travelling. The fact that it doesn't fold flat seems a wasted opportunity to me.

This item holds a smart phone so you can actually read what's on the screen. Didn't cost a lot and does the job. Not quite as blingy as the pic makes it appear and the one down side is that the phone charger has to be taken off before putting it on the holder, unless phone is landscape.

I own an Android phone with the charging input at the bottom of the phone. Also, I like my phone permanently set to portrait mode. So while this is a stable and good stand, it's not good for keeping your phone steady while charging it at the same time. Also, as a lot of us use battery packs and protective cases, like Otterboxes, this stand is like many others: made solely for the naked phone, not suitable especially for larger or bulkier casings. That said, the stand is stable and better than others for that reason. I just wish it were elevated with a wider, stronger base for holding phones with casings/battery packs and especially for plugging in your charger at the bottom of the phone.

Am a happy customer with the product I purchased.

It is great. The materials look quite cheap but it works well and my cellphone sits on the desk well

Does exactly as advertised - not all things do these days

I can use my mobile phone in the stand as a clock.

This is a ghastly little piece of metal that has no redeeming features. It's far too flimsy to support my Sony tablet and doesn't fold down. Please don't waste your money - mine went straight in the bin!

I would find it even more useful if it folded flat to go in my pocket

Clever little gizmo -- very handy!

Am pleased with the service I received from MobileFun. The Olixar Vista Universal Stand was exactly how it was describe. Would recommend MobileFun to my friends.

This ghastly little device is useless. My Sony tablet just slips off it at any angle and it doesn't fold flat. Went straight in the bin.

Wasn't actually looking for a stand, but have had it in mind to get rid of my folio case on my Tab s in favour of a silicone one. So I knew I'd need a stand eventually. Well this came up on one of the news letter emails and as soon as I saw it I bought one. Just the stand I'd need! When it arrived I wasn't disappointed. It's simple yet functional design is really appealing and it's very well made. Great value too!

I bought four of the Olixar universal stands for mobile phones and tablets for myself and family. Very stylish and practical. Saves bench space as well as holds my tablet so I can read from it or see recipes whilst cooking. Great quality item at a terrific price.

This looks just perfect on my office desk and makes it easier to use my phone and put it away too

Awesome product, fast delivery

Does the job but very disappointed that the stand does NOT fold completely flat for storage/packing away for travel.

First impressions, nice looks as with most Olixar produsts. The base has a nice smooth but rubbery grippy feel and holds its ground. The top of the base also has a nice executive feel about it. Unfortunately that is the only part of the stand that has earned its stars. Never thought I'd be saying this but it is otherwise a rubbish item. The back support for smartphones is made from cheap plastic has limited movement. The worst part which should serve the most important job of holding a smartphone in place has no depth so my Galaxy S7, which I am still repaying the cost keeps slipping out from under this useless piece of engineering and doing backflips over the back plate. Completely disfunctional and not really fit for purpose.

Bought this for my wives I-pad she absolutely loves it makes the I-pad even more enjoyable to use

At last........I now can see at all angles any missed calls or text. A GREAT PRODUCT.

I think it will be very useful I'll use it as soon as possible

Good solid stand, works as advertised. Wish there was a way to make my phone stand up (portrait orientation) while charging, but since the charging port is at the bottom of my phone (HTC One M8), no go.. Not the stand's fault, however. But it would be good if manufacturers could think of that when designing their products.

Bought this for my wives I-pad absolutely brilliant she loves it

Does exactly as it says-perfect. I've used it for my phone, samsung tablet and to read my kindle!

I did not need any instructions for use. It is self explanatory and easy to use. A smashing little gadget that solves the problem of propping up a tablet for better viewing of eg films etc.

To start with the good bits: it looks great, and works really well with my phone (Google Pixel).
The downside: it doesn't work with my tablet in Portrait mode (Samsung Galaxy S2); it seems fine at first when it's in its most upright position, but then it starts to slide backwards until it topples over completely. It just cannot hold the weight of the tablet.

This must rate as one of the most useful little gadgets I have come across in a long while. I don't have the manual dexterity I once had and with this it's almost like having 3 hands.

Sadly, it doesn't fold flat so is not suitable for travelling but is a very useful little stand for iPhone & iPad at your workstation.

I bought 2 of these stands one for my mobile and one for my iPad. The stand provides support so that I can see them by looking at them straight on instead of looking down. I find this very useful when working on my computer so that I can glance at the mobile screen instead of having to pick it up to look at the scree. A very worthwhile purchase. Highly recommended.

Brilliant stand - very well made and very tactile.
Excellent quality and great value for money.
