Works well but losses stiffness quickly. At full extention, my iPhone 13 max flips the top link over and defeats the use at full length. As a stand, it sits relatively flat to phone and has some good options for supporting your phone in various tilt profiles. BUT the phone MUST be supporting the weight of the phone and just “lean” against this stand.All this said, for me, it works better that any other stand or pop up/out I have use. It could be improved, but it’s the best option to date. Cheers!
