My review of the Orzly DuoStand w/ pictures

[Esoom]

Mine arrived today, have to say, the company is a class act, they sent me a car cell phone holder, 2 orzly Apple watch cases and a stylus with the stand.

Orzly, strong work, you surprised the heck out of me, and it was worth the wait

The stand is great, looks much better than just charging the watch flat on my nightstand

Congrats! No sign of mine yet. When did you order yours?

When did you order? I ordered May 14, and got notice that it shipped May 21.

It seems to be pot luck. I ordered mine in early may and it only just arrived this morning but a friend of mine in Chicago ordered hers 2 weeks later and received it a few days ago. I'm not that bothered though. I've just been charging my watch on my dressing table so its safe at night, and not really felt like I'm missing out by not having it right next to me at night. Then again that's what I say about my hubby and ill begrudgingly admit its not the same without his snoring next to me now that I've got used to it!! Anyway ill try and post some pics this weekend of the stand.

Oh and I've just noticed they've now got some more colours available. Has anyone bought any? Please post some pics if you have!

I'm a bit cheesed off as I'd much rather have had one in black but maybe if the stands are that good, I can just buy another one and keep silver one at work? I guess I'll wait and see what I think of the silver one first....

How long did it take you to get it? Ordered mine on May 12th and still waiting.

Ordered on the 13th still waiting!!!!!!

Ordered May 16, shipped a few days later, nothing. I did e-mail a few days ago, asking for tracking info, haven't heard back...

 

[jjp007]

Got an email reply asking where it was....they said they didn't know and would mail me out a new one. UGGGGGG. Horrible service.

It looks like this is the main week for deliveries perhaps?

I got mine today. Coincidentally my girlfriend got her one 3 days ago. We both ordered over a month ago and on the same weekend:-(

the stand in itself is very good indeed. Solid enough to even hold a ipad and the most important thing is it just makes my desk look so much neater than before. It came with a official apology letter and a really cool pen and free protection case. Was the stand worth the wait?? yes it was but i am slowly learning that when buying from amazon its always best to buy if the product is in prime. 3rd party sellers can really drag things on sometimes and i have had a lot worse in the past when buying from other sellers. I definitely appreciate the apology letter and glad i really liked the stand but im slowly realising that if buying from amazon then i need to stick to products that are in amazon prime only

Same here.

Same here.

My one has finally arrived this morning after i have waited 6 weeks. The stand in itself is spot on, looks a bit bigger than what is shown in the amazon picture, very solid construction, perfect color match to my macbook (this was important to me). Iv looked at my desk this morning and smiled at how neat it looks.

For the price i paid, its very worth it but nothing should take this long to arrive from anywhere in this day and age. Actually i cant even see how they have made any money from this given the free gifts as a way of an apology.

I want another one for the office as i have spare charging cable anyway, im not sure if i will use the seller from amazon as im not willing to wait so long for it now. I have emailed Orzly.com to ask how to get this quicker, surely there must be a way!!

What else did you get with the stand? I got mines a few weeks back but only the stand. Maybe it is just their way of apologising for the delay. Fair play to them, they want to keep the promise to the customer. Any chance you could post what else you got with the stand?

 

[Packfan99]

Mine never came, so they sent another, along with 2 covers, an iPhone holder, a stylus pen and the stand today. The stand is ok, there's nothing hidden about where the cords go. Nothing to secure the iPhone/iPad cable at all. Not impressed.

 

[iVegas]

Mine hasn't arrived as of yet, either. I emailed them yesterday and they are going to send out another with tracking this time.

Pacfan i feel for you, i have seen how long you waited for this!!!

I for one love this stand and think it’s the best out there. My experiences so far from other brands has not been as good. In summary:

Spigen - they were the fastest to deliver. But the stand was much lighter than the orzly and came with dreadful writing on the base, it went back to amazon straightaway

Jtech - worst stand out there. Cable didn’t even fit on the side and all the amazon reviews are related to another product which I think is extremely misleading and unethical. One bitten twice shy – next time Ii will make sure to actually read the reviews rather than looking at numbers and total stars, and out of principle will not buy from that company again.

Griffin – This one I was really looking forward to, but 8 weeks later they still haven’t delivered so I have just cancelled it!!

Nomad stand - no comment. All the stories about them are on this forum

Orzly stand:- no complaints about the actual product, solid construction, so solid that it will hold my ipad as well. Looks nice next to my mac and as for the hidden cables part its not that bad at all, i got exactly what i ordered after looking at the video and pics online.

Pacman I completely agree the delivery times were pathetic but I think your comment about the product itself was a tiny bit harsh (maybe projected frustration from the service experience?). Maybe its just me though but I have definitely seen much worse out there!! Anyway I’m just glad Amazon make returns so easy, that’s all I am saying

Overall from my experience I think the two best stands out there right now are the Twelve South and Orzly stand. Twelve south only lets me down with no phone holder, Orzly got the product right but needed to be faster. Still I liked it so much I have now ordered a black stand from orzly – and provided I get this one before Christmas, I will definitely update my post and upload some pics once I have received it.

My only frustration now is with the stand. I'm glad you like it. I would like it if it secured the cables and had them out of the way. If the iPhone holder allowed me to just plug in the phone. I got it to put on my night stand on the left side of my bed. The watch is facing away from me. Other than this, you can lay your watch on it, and set your phone on it, after you've plugged it in.

At least it didn't cost that much.

I also just got mine in the mail and I also got the extra items due to the delays.

 

[takaiguchi]

Just got mine today too finally. Plastidipping it right now so it'll be a flat black. Should look better with my grey watch and phone.

 

[takaiguchi]

All done.

Saw the pics you posted! Looks cool but I noticed that they're also releasing the stand in black and gold

I ordered mine from g-hub USA on Amazon. 16 days since shipping, so it's definitely not coming from USA.

Yeah, I think you're right. I ordered mine from USA aswell (back when it was on pre-order). Came before the ridiculously long dates shown on the page, but still took a while.

However, thankfully it looks like the whole pre-order thing has now ended, and Amazon themselves even have stock. (Wouldn't have helped me much, as I live in Greece, so it's all overseas shipping for me anyway) but for anyone living in either UK or USA, the fact that Amazon themselves have started to fulfilling the items would mean that it would be shipped from their own fulfillment center in that country, so would not have to travel overseas. Therefore, besides knowing that Amazon are generally pretty reliable when they handle things, same country to same country deliveries should be alot quicker. I always favor direct from Amazon orders over direct from merchant anyway (if it's available in any given thing that I may want). Not always the case, so sometimes there is no choice, but I'm glad that this one has finally become one, as I think the new gold one that has suddenly started showing on the page looks really nice, but this time i might even get Amazon Prime benefits, so what's the betting that it'll be alot quicker this time! lol.

Ha! Well that's a good call!

Cool!! Not sure what plastidipping is, but I'm guessing you meant that you took the original silver one and dipped it in a dye of some kind? Looks almost as good as the official one! I'm impressed!! How does the plastidipping process work btw? (Not that I would ever dare trust myself to try it myself.) -I'm just curious, as I'd never heard of it before, but it seems to have come out real nice! Was it expensive to plastidip?

It's a product that you can use to coat just about anything. Most people just do rims or parts on their car. It was originally used to coat handles on tools.

Pretty neat that you know how to do that! Glad they brought out the black version. Originally got the silver one but ordered the black one for my office desk.
