Thanks.

One recommendation, you might consider improving the stand by coating it with a rubberizing compound to improve friction between it and the desk and the device, so that it doesn’t move around accidentally. You can get the stuff at most any hardware store. It is used for coating hammer handles, axes and the like, but I’ve found it useful in all sorts of circumstances. The brand I’ve used before is called Plasti-dip or something similar.

It would have been more appropriate to name it “$5.00 Samsung Galaxy Stand” Clearly this is not a “Dock” You should Google “Samsung Galaxy Dock” to see what a real “Dock” is.

On a side note, I’d much rather buy this http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/ET-GTABBECGSTA

So that not only does it protect my TAB I can also use it as a “STAND”. You can find them on the web for $25.00.

I’ll bet they have other styles at Staples that might be worth checking out, though.

You could also look for small stands at a Display store. I used to use a small folding wire frame piece to hold my Newton. For $3, it was hard to beat.

Or is it a little top heavy? Because if it does I’m off to staples this afternoon.
