Initial thoughts on kickstand4u (Moto Z2 Play with Turbo Pack Mod)

Got in the kickstand4U and my initial impression is that I like it. I'm using it on a Motorola Turbo Pack Batter mod that i use with my Moto Z2 Play. For all my other phones I would just buy an aftermarket phone case with a kickstand. Unfortunately for the Moto Z phones, there is no case that is compatible with their mods (since in theory you're constantly swipping mods so a case would defeat the purpose). The material on the Turbo Pack is a rubberized rough finish to provide a better grip on the phone when you use it. I have adherred the kickstand directly to the Turbo pack using the included adhesive tape.

My beefs about the Gen2 kickstand are below:

1. The adhesive that the product is shipped with is not so great. The product comes with 2 different adhesive stickers. One is specifically cut to fit the stand itself and the other looks like a Commander strip that you'd by at your nearest Walmart. I'm presently using the cut to the product one and I'm willing to bet that the stand will fall off Moto Mod in a matter of weeks since the adhesive is substandard and the adhesion does not cover the entire back of the product. I'll try the Commander strip if the cut out adhesive fails. I'm also thinking of using Heavy Duty velcro which I'lll adhere to the phone and the back of the kickstand with some Gorilla or crazy glue. In theory that would allow you to use the kickstand on multiple phones if you wanted.

2. The stability of the kickstand is not so great in portrait mode. For some reason there is a curvature to the kickstand edge that rests on the table which means onlty two small points of the kickstand rest on the desk surface at any one time. You can see this curvature of the bottom of the kickstand if you look at the pics the OP provided above). This curvature makes the kickstand not as stable as it could be in portrait mode. Also the kickstand material is thin. The lack of continual surface contact and thinness of the material causes my phone to "travel" very easily when typing on it in portrait orientation if it is resting on top of a smooth surface (like an office desk). I would have preferred that the kickstand material to be thicker, the edge not curved and the bottom edge to have a roughness so that it reduces how much it travels when pushing on the phone. The phone is much more stable in landscape mode as there is much more kickstand surface that rests on the desk surface (there's also a much lower center of gravity in landscape orientation vs. portrait which greatly adds to the phones stability when in this orientation).

3. The kickstand product is pretty thick (10mm) which presents a problem when putting the phone in my phone clamp that I use in my car (clamp stand that attaches to vent). I would have unstood this thickness if the kickstand material were thicker. I'll have to purchase a new deeper clamp now b/c the kickstand adds so much thickness to the phone.

That's my limited review with just using it for a couple of days. However as the OP said, the price is decent, you get it quickly, it comes in a variety of design choices, it allows you to use it in landscape/portrait orientation and also as a finger loop (which I won't do until I can find a way securely attach it to my Turbo Pack's surface). From my research if you want to add a kickstand to a phone I still think this is the best product on the market but there is room for improvements.
