i went ahead and purchased a black version of the elago stand from amazon.
i can sadly confirm that there is nothing to prevent the back of the phone from touching the metal of the stand.
it seems it should be easy enough to fix by placing some rubber strips on the stand where phone's back rests. (haven't found any nice rubber strips yet, however).
otherwise, this stand is very nice.
a simple fix use a case
or like me have a full body skin protector on your iphone 5
i got my elago stand today, and i gotta say i love it
i cant believe i never bought this before for the iphone 4
and this thing is small, , i was expecting it to be bigger, is perfect for facetime or watching videos, also looks very nice having the phone on your desk
the stand looks like something apple would make
my iphone 5 fits perfectly in the stand without a case , my phone has the full body ghost armor skin protector
this is the best dock solution for the iphone 5 right now
i got the silver one
for some reason im not a prime member but amazon shipped this in 2 days, i selected the free super saving shipping option
hopefully the ipad mini will fit ok in this stand too
