I looked up made in America

I looked up made in America, saw this site, chose my stand and got it. Most importantly, made in America! Sturdy and flexible, I like it.

I will not purchase from this company again. They sent me defective stands and required that I pay the return shipping. How would you feel if this happened to you?

We’re sorry to learn of your final thought with your experience as your return was refunded last month as discussed.

Thought Out Company stands behind its consumer product lines with a Consumer 2-year Limited Warranty for manufacturing defects. We also make our wrong right by shipping the correct product in the event that the wrong product was sent.

In this case, the correct item was shipped however, it was realized by the customer upon receipt that they purchased the wrong product. While the product can be returned and refunded, shipping charges are not refundable for this type of instance.

The company name is true

The company name is very telling. I'm using the iPhone Tripod Mount - PED5-H and bought a base with it. The tripod mount was easy to adjust to my iPhone 11 Pro with the included hex key. Now my iPhone slips on and off easily yet stays securely attached. The friction adjustable gimbal makes orienting the camera so easy. I'm able to quickly adapt to different shooting positions very easily.
Perhaps you might change the company name to WELL THOUGHT OUT :)

I received the item I ordered in a timely manner. The issue I had the stand did not fit my phone. I was told that I had to order an extension in order for my phone to fit. I decided not to do that so I returned this item. If I had known that when I was looking for something like this I would not have ordered it. I have an I phone 12.

Please note that the PED5-Coil is compatible with the iPhone 12 with or without a case. As shown on the product page, the product accommodates a cased iPhone up to a width of 3.5” - if using an oversized case requiring greater than 3.5” of width, we offer extension fingers at a nominal cost to accommodate oversized cases. Rosemary was offered free shipping for the extension fingers she needed.

A well-designed and we’ll-built product!
This is an excellent product which should last a very long time. I move it from room to room and can use it on my desk, in the kitchen for recipes, and at my bedside without ever removing my phone.

EnCloz is difficult to use, customer service is unfriendly

The product I purchased EnCloz, is a very solid holder but requires 6 screws and an Allen wrench to install the iPad. This is a slow and awkward installation and I contacted the company to see if there was a quicker option since I need to be able to take the iPad in and out. I was told no, that this was a Commercial item, and would include at least a 20% restocking fee, plus I had to return within 7 days. Not very friendly, or understanding of my discomfort with the product. I liked that this seems to be a small and owner run company. I often find myself on Amazon just because that’s where I can find what I need. I wish I had not purchased this item from this company.

Please note that we offer a 30-day return time frame without restocking for standard consumer orders. Return instructions were provided on 3/24/22 for your order as it was within the return time frame.

The EnCloz POS Security Stand is designed for tamper and theft prevention primarily for commercial environments with an easy 1-time set-up. For users not requiring tamper and theft prevention, they may consider the Stabile Pro Adjustable iPad Stand by Thought Out Company for easy daily in and out removal of the iPad.

Very good product with stability and portable.

Very good product. The iPhone stand is sturdy and stabilizes iPhones hands free while I work on tasks.
Because of the positioning of the iPhone in any direction I choose the viewer isn’t able to see offline activities, family members and co-workers. Good use for church events. The best part is, the iPhone Stand Holder Ped5-Grand-H1 is light weight and portable and can fit into purses, backpacks and briefcases. Thought Out company consider adding more colors and flexible stands. Mrs. Gloria Bailey.
