Wow, they're selling it for more than double the price in Japan -- works out to be around $45.

The coupon above appears to have expired. Any others available?

Just got mine today - posted pictures in the stands thread which is stickied.

It's really nice, especially for the price. A bit disappointed all their information isn't on the bottom, but oh well.

Same here. The text should be printed on the bottom or underside of the base. I've sent them a complaint today as I got mine today and not too happy about this considering the images online does not show it.

I get that it's a personal opinion thing, but I can't see how the stand looks cheap or flimsy from the video? He just picks it up and shows it all around. It's an aluminum stand...it doesn't wobble or anything. Kinda curious why some of you think the video makes it look cheap?

I got it today and it certainly looks cheap and flimsy in person. That said its not that bad. The annoying thing is that there is text printed on the upper side of the base and should be on the underside. The online images don't show it at all and the base looks much nicer.

I sent them an email too. I'd probably be perfectly fine with it if it was shown on their website and their packaging, but it's not and it just seems a little deceptive. It's not that it looks awful - you can only really see it when you're a couple of feet away or nearer - it's just that it isn't what I thought I was purchasing.

It's nice enough for the price so I probably won't return it, nonetheless has put me off Spigen a bit.

Agree with a lot of others on this thread. The writing on the stand makes it look very cheap and brand slapping at its finest. Should have made it more discreet and put it at the bottom. Their images don't show that text.
Guess you can cover it up but is just extra hassle to do so!

I just ordered today as the pictures made it look great.

That writing tho! I can't believe they didn't put it on the bottom. Grr!

They have asked me to send them a photograph which to me is ridiculous as the issue is not a specific fault or defect with mine but something which is obviously on all the stands they are shipping.

I received this email from them. I am glad they are being proactive about it and will ask for an exchange if the words are printed on top-

Thank you for your purchase with us. We see that the product is currently on its way to you.

We wanted to let you know, you should be receiving a stand with no words on the top of the base of our Apple Watch stand. If by any chance, the stand that is delivered to you has the words on the top of the base, let us know right away and we will get a stand to you that does not have those words.

Our apologies for any inconvenience. We definitely want this to be a positive experience for you. Please keep us updated on the status of the stand you receive! Our customers' satisfaction is very important to us.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Spigen Customer Support

On the one hand, it's good news that the writing isn't supposed to be there. But it's not great that Spigen apparently had no idea that the products that were shipping out had it. I think I'll go ahead and order one from Amazon and hope it's okay.

My stand arrived from Amazon. It does NOT have the writing on top. It has it on the bottom.

I think the build quality and look is exceptional.

Got mine in today, and as nice as it is, mine did come with the etching on top. Definitely looking to get it replaced with a defect-free version. Otherwise, it's fantastic!

Wonder where the curly q cable holder came from. That seems very cool.

I've got a couple of those cable holders. Search for Quirky Cordies Desktop Cord Clips and Anchor.

I got my stand on Thursday. I think it's great, it doesn't look at all cheap and works very well. Mine came direct from spigen.co.uk and does have the text on the top of the base. I'm not bothered about it, and I'm not sure I get the fuss really.

Mine came today and there's no writing on top, the label is on the bottom. I pre-ordered it from Amazon mid-April. it was shipped and sold by Spigen to Boston, USA.

There's a Spigen label written on the rubber part though. Perhaps the customer service is confused when people complain about the writing on top and they are thinking you guys are referring to the Spigen logo on the black rubber.
