The issue with the kickstand, if we're all honest, is, that it needs you to bend over and subject your neck muscles to strain. It's great for watching films, or videos or streaming television programmes, but most people who own a Surface Pro (SP) use it primarily for work. I am no exception, even though it is my personal device and not wok supplied. When I was deciding whether to buy this Kensington Elevated Stand, I was looking for a review that actually told me more than "it's great" or "well made". That's not enough for me to make a purchase on, especially as a Degree qualified manufacturing engineer, and a Quality expert (all in the distant past). Yes, it's only £30, but my Surface was £2000 and I don't want it smashed on the floor or wobbling about. So this review is for those people who can read (and write) more than two lines (or two words). In other words, it's not for Generation Z, most of whom are basically, walking goldfish, with a slightly longer attention span. (I know not all of them are like that, certainly not my kids because I invested time in them, and not pushed them off with a phone or tablet). Anyway.........this stand is very sturdy, it feels expensive (though the supplied bag feels a little less so). The SP kickstand slides into a groove in the stand. The groove is lined with 2.5mm thick silicone to protect your SP and stop it sliding around too easily. The same silicone appears on the bottom of the stand for anti-slip, and the top of the foot of the stand. The top of the foot's silicone allows you to put your MS Flex SP keyboard, or a similar Bluetooth keyboard, or anything else you fancy there. There's also a slot on the right hand side of the stand arm for your SP charge cable head, though this does NOT charge your SP. It's for when you are not powering your SP and need a location to keep the cable head off the floor, for when you are away from your desk. Much to my wife's annoyance, I often work at the kitchen table (as I , at the dining table, in the lounge, in the garden room, in the bedroom, despite having a big home office with two massive desks, two monitors. The issue is, everywhere other than the office was uncomfortable, because of bending over the screen. This Elevated Stand REDUCES the stress on your neck and shoulder muscles. A lot of it depends on your height, the height of your chair, the length of your torso (I have a short one) most British people have a long torso) and the height of the table or desk you are working at. The kickstand angle determines the viewing angle. The stand is locked into one angle. There also only one way you SHOULD put the SP in, and that's with the stand screen over the foot. Putting it in the other way will result in the stand not holding your SP up as it will over-balance. Another use is on one of those beanbag type trays for anti-social eating in front of the TV (only allowed when the football is on). One of those trays which the German food chains sell (as does Amazon) is great for working on your lap in the house. This stand and the tray is a great combination. The stand has a locking button which has be depressed to either unfold or fold the stand. When it's folded it slides into the drawstring bag. I splashed out on the MS Arc Mouse, which is really great. When the stand is folded, the Arc Mouse fits nicely in the gap between the foot and the arm so I can slide both stand and mouse into the stand's bag. That's a plus for me. It's pretty heavy for its size, it's approximately 19cm x 13cm when folded and apparently, it's 610g, that's the official weight. The stand, needless to say needs to be on a stable surface. It does move slightly in the groove, but ONLY if the top part of the SP is pushed. If you push the bottom half where the kickstand is, it will NOT move. All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend this Kensington Elevated Stand. It's top quality, stable, sturdy and superb value for money. It saves your neck and back muscles (somewhat) and makes downtime even more comfortable. BUY IT, IT'S DOTTORE APPROVED!! PS: The last photos shows the keyboard attached and when it's on a beanbag tray. It's not ideal for fast typing, but for YT searches etc it's ok. Clearly, it's not designed for this, but it works pretty well.

Great product, works really well, positions computer at a higher level giving you a better posture. I bought this for my daughter and she sits up better now when using.

Brilliant little stand. Good quality and really sturdy.

This is a decent quality item and does the job of holding the Surface Pro at a good height for doing desktop-type work. It folds up small enough that it's easily portable and feels reasonable sturdy, although I'm not sure how much strain this will put on the Surface's hinge mechanism over time. It's not a patch on the SD7000 for the earlier devices and isn't really suitable for extended pen-related work but I guess this is an entirely different price point.

Excellent little stand and perfect for this laptop.

Bespoke stand for the surface. Collapses to place in a handbag or small bag

A very good piece of kit. Does what it says on the tin. Very high quality and looks great. It's worth noting that it is not height adjustable, but that is not an issue for me.

Although I had an issue with the delivery. However, they assisted me and solved the issue very quickly. Thank you.
