Our feeling is that future Xtand could be designed to further cut the use of metal around an iPhone’s antennas, precluding wireless interference. We wondered whether the iPhone’s back had come in contact temporarily with the unpadded center point of the X-shaped cradle, but couldn’t be certain. As the X-shaped cradle exposes most of the iPhone’s plastic antenna chamber, but does obscure its corners slightly, it appears that the metal may under some conditions present an issue-however, after days of continued attempts to let the problem reoccur, it didn’t. Once, when the iPhone was placed in the cradle, we noticed that the battery was discharging at a surprising rate-something that can happen when the cellular antenna is struggling to make or maintain a connection with a local phone tower. The only issue we experienced during testing of Xtand was one that we couldn’t reproduce a second time. Xtand was clearly engineered with considerable thought and precision everything just works. In other words, your iPhone is as useful inside Xtand as it is in your hand, but more conveniently mounted for viewing and other tabletop use. The rubber corners hold the iPhone properly while providing access to all of the ports and controls, including the speakerphone and Dock Connector, headphone port and volume buttons. Just Mobile’s design, while clearly heavily influenced by Apple’s, offers iPhone users the opportunity to completely match the look of Apple’s desktop machines with what can look like a miniature monitor for video or widescreen album browsing, shifting effortlessly to a vertical mode appropriate to most of the iPhone’s other features. There’s very little to complain about in Xtand’s execution.
