This is a great little stand. It does what it is supposed to do. It is also very slim when folded up which makes it ideal for travel or taking it with you. Might not work great if you have a big case on your Kindle, but if you do have a big case, it probably acts as a stand anyway.
The finish and feel is nice. It is about half brushed aluminum and half plastic. The base does have a nice weight to it so that it will not topple over very easily.
It opens nicely and closes smoothly.
Only one tiny complaint which isn't a big deal, but still worth mentioning. If the Kindle is placed horizontally, I would like a space to be able to plug in a charging cord and/or hdmi cable. Not a big deal since you can just turn it so the ports are on the top, but just something that I would have personally liked if they had done.
Overall, it is a nice product and a decent price point. Any more than $20 would be pushing it, but still pretty fair.
