This is an item you don't necessarily need, but once you have it, you'll always want it at the office. It operates flawlessly when opening, closing, and when holding a phone or tablet. The rubber grips keep the device secure and prevent scratches. There are no problems with connecting wires; it's well-designed. Tested with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab T325, but I believe it can also accommodate devices up to 10 or even 12 inches. The plastic has a smooth, silky feel and doesn't have any unpleasant odors. Highly recommended!
