I've found a few decent stands searching on Google, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any decent ones?

I think having a stand that could hold up my phone on my desk and nightstand in either landscape or portrait mode would be great.

Something like this would be pretty sexy, imo.

Ohh, and we have a new winner. The swivel is key, although the reviews don't seem as strong as the Elago.

If you do buy it, write a mini review on here! I'll do the same.

I have to figure out if I'd rather have a charging dock or just a stand. I really like this dock too.

Sounds good. I'm about to pull the trigger on the Spigen stand. A key, for me, is to be able to use it in landscape mode.

I like the elago stand but the fact that it cant adjust angles is really bugging me. Im thinking of getting the spigen but im just worried that it wont fit my phone and spigen tough armour case together

So far, I like the Spigen stand a lot. The fact that I can adjust the angle really makes it versatile for using it on my desk, nightstand, or on the plane. I'm using my 6 Plus with the Apple leather case on it, but I tried to show in one of the pics how much more clearance is left between the bracket and the phone/case to try and give you an idea of if it would fit with a thicker case.

I do have a concern that, perhaps, over time, the hinge that allows for a variable viewing angle would loosen and thereby not function as well, but only time will tell.

In the mean time, I'm pretty pleased with the purchase.

I ordered one this morning and I have the same concern, especially with a big 6+

I returned the spigen, I liked the fact that you can change the angles. But the fact that the top part is made of cheap plastic had me hating it. The elago all aluminum is a better premium feel. And I think it will last alot longer then the spigen half aluminum half plastic set up.
