So I can just lay down straight and have my iPad straight in my face and watch movie and read stuff, use to be sitting on my bed holding my iPad which gave me a little bit of back pain for not sitting straight, now watch netflix and not bother somebody just use an earphone, read stuff while laying straight neck supported by a pillow, back pain gone and no more stiff neck the next day hehe.Best thing about this thing is you can manipulate it at any possible angle you can imagine, you can even make your iPad look like a digital photo frame and have something doing a slide show. I got the exact thing on the photo with the orange thing, some other buyer got a plain black, I guess mine looks more expensive than the plain black. good item
