Hello,
Many of you are concern this stand could damage the laptop by bending it with the leverage force. It’s true that I didn’t consider this case when I designed it 🤔
While trying it out, I didn’t feel like it would damage the laptop, unless something catastrophic would happened like an heavy object or a pet dropping on it, but it is a legitimate concern ! I might reconsider using it… I was wondering why this type of stand is common for phones but inexistant for laptops, well now I understand !
Thank you all for the constructive feedback !
I like to hold my laptop at exactly those points where your design holds them and I suspect that that is the reason why my laptop is bent now. I hold it like that whenever I move it so not for long durations but frequently. I’d definitely recommend against doing it for longer durations.
