I like the Spigen slightly more than the Orzly because of the nano tac on the bottom of the Spigen. I own them both and you can't got wrong with either.

So what do you think of it so far? I gave trouble easily getting the ipad on and off. I like to just reach over in bed and dock it, like I can with my iPhone. The ipad is a pain though. Have to basically hold the stand steady and carefully line it up. And it takes 2 hands to get it off also since its on so tight. Also, the watch straps push on the ipad too much unless I buckle the straps together, not a huge deal, but a pain. I think I'm going to return and go with something for just iPhone and watch.

Just an update on the Enbue stand. It was such a pain to use I returned it. The ipad would hardly go on and off the stand. For some reason, possibly cheap lightning cables, it was way too tight. And it often look and the watch would be falling off or completely off because it was too close to the ipad to fit properly. Some banks I'm sure are fine though.

So after returning it, I finally got an email saying it had been refunded. However after checking for a couple weeks, turns out they didn't even do a refund, just sent the email saying it was done. Then when they eventually issued a refund, they kept $25 as a restocking fee for a crappy item that didn't work well. It's not like I just returned it because I changed my mind. The funny thing is, they sent me 2 stands on accident, I was decent enough to return both, even the one they didn't even charge me for, yet they still refuse to issue a full refund.

So, based on the fact that it's a poor design and that the company has poor service I would recommend staying away from anything from Enblue Technology.

I still love my Premium One stand. While it does take two hands to remove the iPad (mostly because I don't have the stand stuck to the surface), everything goes on easily one handed, and there's plenty of room.

What band do you have? I think it's th sport band that doesn't work. Others I think would be fine because they are more flexible and wouldn't push back against the ipad. The biggest thing to me is the poor service.

I just picked up the Orzly nightstand dock. I like it. My only knock is that it's a little light, weight-wise. We have nice, wood bedroom furniture, so I am reluctant to use the self-stick option (double-sided tape on the bottom of the device)... since it's not quite as heavy as others (the Elevation nightstand comes to mind), it does tend to move a quite easily when I bump my night table in the middle of the night.

Otherwise, it functions just as well as one would expect. For $10 shipped, I'd say that it's a good value.

Just wondering are the Premium One stands really good, from those of you who have one already?

Also, what finishes did you go for?

I have a Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus , a White . Silver iPad and a SS Watch, so quite a mix there !

Im tempted by black though.....but the wood trim does look premium....

I got one for Christmas. Are they nice, yes. Are they worth $100, No Way!

The nicest thing about the stand that you can't see by looking at it is there are pads on the bottom that stick it in place. Nice to remove iPhone one handed. Don't know if it will ruin the finish on my night stand?

It would be better if the had an adjustment for iPhone/cases like the Twelve South High Rise.

I just snagged a W3 off that auction site for an irresistibly cheap (net) price, I can't wait for mine finally! I'm sure it'll be much better than my tangled mess of white cables on my dresser!

I picked up the Belkin Valet from the Apple Store, it's so much nicer than the Enblue. It feels better, looks better, and actually works as advertised. My only complaint would be I wish it had a stronger magnet for the watch.

I don't care for the sport bands for a number of reasons. I imagine if you were to latch it prior to putting it on the stand it would be fine.

Out of the few bands I've tried I like the sport best. And your correct, if I latch it it works. But that's not what I pay $135 for a stand to have to do.

[doublepost=1455011785][/doublepost]Our stands do have the possibility to adjust for cases, up to 6mm. www.enbluetec.com/owners-manuals
And the micro suction pads allow to relocate the dock without any damage. Our docks include the wall charger and
Apple certified lighting adapters

[doublepost=1455014214][/doublepost]Jeremy, we take customer service pretty serious and please keep in mind that we reacted very quickly when you wanted to change the color after the initial order was already processed. This was when our logistics accidentally sent two units out. So we appreciate the return and we reimbursed you for the shipping on that. We clearly list our return policies in the top menu of our Shopify site. For the late refund we apologize, the system did sent out the message but it wasn't processed through PayPal. We corrected that immediately when we learned about it. We usually, if any, process refunds the same day our logistics informs us about an incoming return. And by the way, we really got very few returns. The lighting cables we use are certified by Apple and we wish they would be cheaper :) To work perfect with Apple devices, you need a tight connection between the lightning and the inner slot. If you don't have that tight connection, the connection could possibly wear off after some use and you will have failures in charging.We got a lot of experience on that, even with well known branded cables and we won't compromise here. Once again, we apologize for your personal experience and we take critics seriously into consideration for future processing and product developments. Also, we printed a link to the instruction video on every box. We recommend to view this in full length....www.enbluetec.com/owners-manuals

As previous owner of the ElevationLab Nightstand, I got yesterday a Spigen 350 stand.

This is IMHO the best stand available if you want something simple and truly useful. The best part of the Spigen 350 is the watch support (a real design flaw of the ElevationLab's) Also cable handling is much butter on the Spigen 350. in the ElevationLab I need to twist the charging cable in a 90 degree angle and sometimes the magnet fell of so was not fixed very weel.

Spigen 350 it is :)

The JustMobile HoverDock I purchased via Amazon just arrived and I am satisfied with the stand. The design is sleek and minimal and does its job. It wouldn't hurt if the base was weighted a little bit more, but the base offers enough friction so that the stand shouldn't slide when the watch is placed or taken off the stand.

It's slightly cheaper on Amazon.com with Prime membership as opposed to the JustMobile website that charges $10 for standard shipping. They offer 15% off the initial purchase on their website with a subscription sign-up but it still is more expensive after shipping is calculated with the order.

I am sure that this has been posted before but I really like it this Griffin stand. It's heavy, it will hold the watch in either orientation, and it is tall enough that I can set my 6s Plus in landscape orientation on the base and the phone is still visible. It also has a small footprint on my nightstand. I've only had it two days and I love it!

I just think the Griffin stand is weird... tall is odd for something like that.

I was taking the picture with my phone so it couldn't be sitting on its perch. I like the height because both the phone and the watch are visible, some stands I have seen on here either take up way more of a footprint than I want or one of the devices aren't fully visible.
