" ... One final minor difference is the Roost stand comes in a nylon tube carry case while Nexstand has a cloth tube. ...

" ... This stand is perfect for anyone with back and neck pain. ... "
" ... But as a measure of how sturdy a stand is--I'm typing this review on my laptop as it sits in its brand-new Roost and the screen only bounces if I really get to typing fast, and even then just a bit. ... It lifts the laptop higher than my old stand, which I think my neck is going to appreciate, and it's super fast and simple to set up, which means I can put it away and have my desk back when I'm not working on the computer, which my old stand did not allow. ... "
" ... These stands have saved my eyes & neck . ... "
" ... Sturdy & light and put my laptop high enough to save my neck! ... "
