Is this stand stable enough for gaming with a controller?
Absolutely. The SturdyStand XL is designed for demanding gameplay sessions. Its one-piece solid design and 4-corner sturdy base ensure the stand won’t wobble, tip backward, or slide while you are using controllers, headsets, or tapping the screen intensely.

Yes. Like the standard model, the XL features unique deep-pocket channels (supporting devices up to 3/4″ thick) and bidirectional U-openings that perfectly accommodate PopSockets® and other grips.

Ross (verified owner) –
Admittedly when I purchased this I immediately felt some regret. I had just spent how much on a phone stand? I was looking for something that could accommodate my iPhone 15 Pro Max with a magsafe wallet attached and a charging cord looped underneath. The ability to accommodate the phone in a variety of positions was desirable as well. Once the stand arrived I changed my mind – it was a good investment. It is incredibly solidly built, exactly the color I wanted, and it holds my phone securely, wallet and all. It is absolutely a ton of money to drop on a stand, but overall I’m very happy.
