The included USB C to C cable was dead on arrival, which isn't a big deal for me, but the size of the cable was just right for the size of the stand, which sucks that all of my other cables are longer. All of my other C to C cables worked just fine though, the only difference is the cable length.
Other than that, the stand is extremely well made. The hinge is strong and tight, it can take a little bit of muscle to open and close the stand, but I'd rather it be a little too strong than not strong enough.
The base of the stand is a little bigger than I expected, the width of the base is almost equal to the height of my iPhone 13 (base model). It hurts the portability a tiny bit, but it's still pretty compact, enough to where the size doesn't hinder my daily use at all.
The weight is a tiny bit much though, it's pretty heavy. But again, I'd rather it be a little on the heavy side than too much on the light side; I want my iPad to be nice and safe in it, without fear that the stand is going to fall over.
The ports on it are also great. Once you connect the C to C cable to your device, the indicator light should be glowing, and all of the ports just work. The audio sounds great, and powers my HD 560S perfectly. Every other port works exactly as you'd expect. I was also able to plug in my microSD card, and use samples perfectly fine in Koala and VividTracker, via audiocopy.
I got this on sale for about 60 dollars and it is an absolute no-brainer steal for that price. Better built than the vast majority of other USB hubs at that price, not including that fact that it's also a stand. If you want an all-in-one solution like this, look nowhere else. This is where it's at.
