There are two stands that I would recommend over the Giraffe Reader and Standscan at this point. Scanjig, $40.00 plus shipping, which is made out of hard plastic and is quite sturdy, but may be a little bulky for those who want to take it on the go. It measures about 9 by 13, by 1.5 inches when closed up. Then, in a week or so, the latest version of the Fopydo stand will be available through Amazon. The one currently on there is an old version, but the creator has come up with a much improved model. It will sell for $12.00 plus shipping. It is made from the same kind of corrugated plastic as the Giraffe Reader, but far more versatile because it will work with any size phone and even small tablets. Once it is out, he will have a video and written instructions to help a blind person assemble it themselves. It is in one piece, so assembly isn't really accurate, more how to unfold it and snap the tab in place that creates the platform for your phone. It will allow raising the height to be able to scan longer documents or both pages of a book. He is also working on an accessory to help with scanning books. I will post the direct link to Amazon when it is available. I have both the Scanjig and Fopydo stands in my office and think they are both excellent choices, depending on what your scanning needs are. HTH, Richard
