If you like to flaunt the iPad / Pad 2 'au naturel', the Matias iRizer is the perfect accessory for supporting your device’s exhibitionist performance, posing it in 5 different display angles for comfortable typing and viewing formats. Better still, this tablet stand packs-up nice and compact for accompanying your device inside a tablet sleeve, backpack, handbag, or any other larger carrying solution.

Editor's Rating 

The iRizer is a minimalistic two-piece design made of a special composite material. When holding it I am instantly reminded of the toy block with pegs that I used as a child for developing hand/eye coordination skills. Fortunately this tablet stand is even easier to learn and also something that you will want to keep on using long after mastering. The main plate has 4 slots, one side marked with angles 20°, 30°, 40°, 50° and the reverse side has a 70° angle. Simply choose the angle you prefer and slide the mantle plate through the appropriate slot. The mantle has a thick piece of rubber to grab the iPad / iPad 2 and prevent slipping/sliding across the smooth surface. Although designed specifically for Apple devices, the iRizer's perch (approximately 12cm wide and 1cm deep) is large enough to accommodate most other brand tablets. I tested small devices like the Kindle and Samsung Galaxy Tab and BlackBerry Playbook, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Motorola Xoom, and they all fitted just as secure. And this design will also accept those devices already fitted with a basic tablet protector, or even inside more robust case-styles. The iRizer is not only great to use on all level surfaces at home, but it also packs neatly into a soft cotton pouch for following your device to campus, the office or the local café.

Overall: GOOD

For those times you need to stand your device, the compact and easy-to-assemble iRizer can be there when you need it. A great accessory for propping your device around the home, or pack it up for use at school, the office or your favorite neighborhood hangout.
