It's more of a grip than sticker so it'll last a long time if you don't mess it up by getting a lot of lint on it, etc. even if you do you can probably clean it off easily.

og15 10-14-2012 04:25 PM

For the price, I'll try it, definitely wouldn't come close to this at the original price, but $5, why not, seems useful enough. Sometimes I like to use my Bluetooth keyboard with my phones when sending texts, so this gives me a suitable holder, in addition to use with my iPad

Agent420 10-14-2012 04:27 PM

great deal on this - thanks for posting the video - that sealed the deal -picked up two

nitemare 10-14-2012 04:41 PM

Thanks, OP. I could actually really use one of these for my Touchpad as well.

bignosejew 10-14-2012 04:59 PM

This thing looks bad-ass, video def sells it. In for 1, but I have a Best Buy acct and it never asked me to log in. Had to do everything manually, I guess it's a separate entity.

bigmutant 10-14-2012 05:05 PM

Not a foolish question. It was the same for me. Don't know why.

What bothered me was that you couldn't sign into your BB account and get/use reward zone points.

Looks like it is a separate entity. It's $9.99 [bestbuy.com] in the normal BB website

P0cky 10-14-2012 05:15 PM

Thanks OP. Been wanting a stand for my iPad.

gymsock 10-14-2012 05:17 PM

I'm thinking of placing another order for store pickup to make sure I get one. I already ordered 1 with the free shipping. I've never ordered from this kind of off site clearance page. I read the fine print and it looks like it could be returned to a store for a full refund.

Can someone confirm this if you know for sure? Will rep.

Yes, I returned one (clearance site item) last time in store and had no problems..

Now all I need is a good bluetooth keyboard for $5

Slickery 10-14-2012 06:00 PM

Other folks got tired of using this because they already bought few days ago through other deals site. All of you just smelled the coffee or what? WoW....

jbwhite99 10-14-2012 06:05 PM

thanks much for the stand. Two things - who would pay $50 for a non-OEM model? And how does BBY make money at $4.99 on this? including shipping?

colemanlee09 10-14-2012 06:09 PM

just ordered one for pickup. hopefully order will go through for pickup tomorrow.

BBY makes enough money selling $39.99 HDMI cables (sheesh). I was in store picking up my stand and a lady was so happy buying a $39.99 HDMI cable (Dynex probably) that was in "Clearance". I did tell her to buy HDMI cables off of eBay for like a buck or so. She was so convinced that those a buck ones are bad. "I want my LG 55" TV to give best picture and I don't think those 1 dollar ones would give me what I want."
Regardless, BB just got some customers' info out of this deal that they can sell/utilize.

sdizdabest 10-14-2012 06:15 PM

I bought this in the store a couple of weeks ago for $7. It was an open box. The retail price of it in the store was $10 so I'm not sure where this $40 "retail price" is coming from.

It works well but not for the kind of case I use now so I have to take it out of the case to use it.

GIRay 10-14-2012 07:39 PM

They're coming out with a new one pretty soon. I bought it for 10 bucks a month or two ago. The grip's not bad, but definitely don't rely on it to hold onto your tablet or you might find it on the floor :S

i just picked up one of them and it is really not that bad. our amphitheater is super cramp and the desks are small so i'm planning to use this in class. definently not for everybody but the review is wayyyyyy to harsh. the stickness can easily be washed off with water (there ARE instructions these idiots didn't even read it). and this thing is super compact so i can chuck it in my bag and not worry about some monstrosity. btw there is also a one year limited warranty and for 5 bucks you really cant go wrong.

this product was originally a kickstarter project [kickstarter.com] at around that price, then sold on it's own [padpivot.com] (still currently being sold?) for $40, and then I think licensed to RocketFish [bestbuy.com] (BestBuy)

I believe you just need to clean it every so often. Also, Samantha is not included at this price.

More importantly for my needs is that this doesn't appear to hold a tablet in 'portrait mode' at anything like a 90 degree angle.

damageinc 10-15-2012 01:00 PM

Just found my strap on the floor, don't know how it was orig. Packaged in the container . This is ok for 5.00, but that's all. I can't really use the prongs w/my NC, but I have found several angles that work for me. All in all no real compalinents.

My leg strap was just sitting in the bottom black piece that you tear off. Its not taped or anything so if you're not paying attention you will not notice it. Was that black base piece still taped on?

I believe you just need to clean it every so often. Also, Samantha is not included at this price.

More importantly for my needs is that this doesn't appear to hold a tablet in 'portrait mode' at anything like a 90 degree angle.

It should hold pretty well in portrait. Angle the "legs" and sit your tablet in the open slot. Don't worry about attaching the grip pad to your tablet becuz its more of a back support for your tablet.Holds well in portrait and landscape. I have only used on firm surface. Hope this helps.

Mine was partially opened and was missing the bottom black half of the box. I got 2 and the other one is fine, the second one was taped and missing the bottom half black piece. I opened the taped one and it seems to be missing the strap. I didn't mind the open box but missing part like that bothers me.

Great for yoga, now I can pull my thigh all the way to my face!

2p1o 10-16-2012 01:49 PM

Thanks OP, got two.

Nicnac 10-16-2012 03:08 PM

Ugh!

Order went through for pick up, waited for confirmation email. Email came saying it's not available at my store (that it was when I placed the order) and I have to call to choose a different store, have it shipped to me, or cancel the order.

Was on the phone for 15 minutes and gave up. Checked to see if I can just reorder and it's still 'available' at my local store.

On the phone again.


Edit: Spoke to someone. He told me to cancel the order, reorder and select free shipping since it now shows as not available anywhere near my zip code but is in stock in the warehouse.

YARDEE 10-16-2012 03:34 PM

both of my orders shipped

We have processed the item below and it is ready to leave our warehouse. Your method of payment has been charged.

This was a Kickstarter project that I backed (4800 backers)... lol KickStarter [kickstarter.com]

It's a pretty cool device. I used it on planes, sitting around airports, etc. Had few people even ask me where they can get one, so its a damn nifty device, especially at this PRICE!

lets just say i would have almost 20 of them instead of 2 of them that i do have which i do like the product i use it everyday so i guess can't complain too much

smileyspeople 10-17-2012 11:25 AM

Now showing as "Out of Stock" and no in-store pickup option (same with the bluetooth speakers).

inkybod 10-17-2012 02:31 PM

Somehow they shipped me 4 and only charged me for one! $5.34 for 4 sounds about right!

bruteshot 10-17-2012 03:43 PM

I got in on this and the speaker deal, this stand freakin rocks! I think I've used it every time I've used the iPad since I got it. I use the speakers pretty often too but the stand was the real deal for me.

namlook 10-18-2012 12:53 AM

Not sure why the people were calling this junk. It works well and is quite useful and handy.

nitemare 10-18-2012 02:45 PM

Got mine today.; Did not open it as Im on the fence to see if I actually need this. I use the HP Case all the time. Not sure if I wanna take case of for this.

allclassnyc 10-18-2012 04:57 PM

Got it today, and it's a good stand for the price. Wish there was a way to get 1 more as a spare. Anyone have any ideas? Or you think it will come back later for this price?

No clue -- I ordered one and they sent me four! Now I'm ready for Christmas! But I don't need one of them; if someone wants to make me an offer, just PM me.

Larry_P 10-19-2012 12:33 PM

I got 4 for the price of 1 as well! lol Great deal!!! ty best buy!

erickplaystatio 10-19-2012 03:37 PM

You guys think you got a good deal? They PAID me $50.02 to buy 2 padpivots.
Screenshots here [imgur.com] and here. [imgur.com]
The 2nd one is from my bank, I was wondering where the extra money came from.

OMG same here! I was wondering why my account has more money now. They deposited like two hundred something :lol: Wonder how many people got a deposit. I'm sure they will figure it out soon and take back the money though.

I'm just hoping they don't take interest out when they take their money. haha!

infamousjwills 10-19-2012 04:10 PM

just checked, same thing here. Knowing BB I hope i'm not going to have to fight with them on this.

Jawadali 10-20-2012 12:45 PM

Thanks for the deal.

I haven't opened mine yet, but was wondering, how well would this work as a stand for GPS purposes for your car?

If you bought 2 why does it say quantity 4 on your screenshot?

As long as you don't mind it falling off of your dash when accelerating and braking or flying sideways when you make a sharp turn this works extremely well. :lol:

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if the non-tablet-facing material had any "no-slip" grip coating, and from your response, it sounds like it does not.

You coul always use the knee strap but that sounds even more suicidal. Mine came in today. Seems quite nice, probably should have gotten a couple as stocking stuffers.

Me too! Hahs who would want to fight with BB after they give you a load of money. Hell I'll go as far as saying that BB is the best company I ever brought from....

Until they take out the money, then it'll be back to normal, with BB being nothing but WB (opposites, not Warner Bros.)

Well, no deposits for me, but I haven't been charged anything yet either, even thought it shipped days ago.

the question is, does it apply to everything you bought (assuming you bought multiple items; which i assume so). Glad Best Buy admitted their mistake and gave the items for free to those of us who got the credit... i assume this is because they have no way of knowing whether or not we used the coupon or not?

Seems so. I looked at my account tonight. After all the credits and reversals the only thing left from Best Buy for all my orders is a mysterious charge for 1 cent.

I bought two padpivots on this order, and they credited my account $50.02. They took the $50.02 back and didn't charge me the $10.71 (after tax) for the two items.
In a separate order I bought the bluetooth speakers, but that order wasn't affected.

travfar 11-02-2012 11:27 AM

Bastards!!!! I picked up 3 of these with instore pickup 3 weeks ago. I didn't even bother looking at them until 5 mins ago, they've been sitting in the bag until now. 2 of the 3 are open and are clearly customer returns. Selling used as new again Best Buy? I'd take them back if Best Buy didn't give them to me after the whole credit fiasco. ;)

2p1o 11-20-2012 10:02 AM

Thank Op, got two.
