Review: Podium Revolution by Pivotal

Podium for iPhone + iPod touch

So, Recently I received a Podium by Pivotal, which I'm sure most of you already know it's a VERY luxurious, well to me, iPhone stand. Personally it does just what it advertises, It is the ULTIMATE iPhone experience. Let's get a little bit into Hardware.

The hardware on the product is over all a 10/10.

Why? Because it is so nice and classy that I honestly can not get over it. I received the Platinum version because it was the one that matched my MacBook the most. And I love it, As you can probably tell by the name it's made out of a shiny metal material that is as hard as a rock. The bottom has a rubber material made of 3M rubber. That keeps the product still on your desk, even with a fair amount of pressure pressed against it, that way your iPhone wont move neither will the stand. Something I loved about the product, which I didn't know until I actually had the product was the fact that not only is it cool because it looks like an iMac stand, But it does almost the same as the iMac stand and by that I mean, you see the while in the middle? That's to slide your charger thru there to keep the cables looking neat, which to me is a huge plus sign! Now, the holster that holds your phone up is good to. Not the best I've seen but it's good, Why isn't it the best? Because I'm not sure if it's because this version is also made for iPhone 2G but it doesn't hold the phone up with much force, I push down with a little bit of pressure and my phone is moving up and down, something that in my opinion I didn't like much but it's something I'm sure is not in ever model just in this one since it obviously is a bit bigger for the iPhone 2G, But other models are probably a bit tighter. Another thing I didn't like about the hardware is the fact that the metal is a finger print magnet, Nothing a microfiber can't fix, But whenever I try and take my phone out, I like to hold that part of the stand to take my phone out without causing it damage, and I always have to wipe my finger prints off. Which is again, something that's probably because of it being the Platinum version, which in the other models is hopefully not as tormenting.

The product itself is a 9.5/10

Why a 9.5? Well hopefully you read the hardware overview, Where I listed the pros and cons. Those things are just all of my "cons" I think this model has that I didn't like, which aren't a big deal, because the product itself is INCREDIBLE, I love the classiness of the product, Instead of having your phone charging just laying on a table it looks NICE, plus all the things you can do with it, For example watch movies, use it as a game holder, and so much more! Even a iPhone camera tripod! It's great, it has been so useful for the days I've had it. My only other comment is the price of the product, it's a whopping $68.00 but for right now, the price is at a limited time offer of $48.00 which isn't bad considering you truly do get what you pay for. A great iPhone stand, and like they say, the ultimate iPhone expirience, Well that's all I have to say about this product. You guys should definitely check out they're website, It's very worth what you pay for this product, and hopefully you guys check them out. Leave your comments below if you own, Or are considering owning one of these. You can click any of the banners on this review to go to they're site, and purchase or just look around.

Thank you guys so much for reading my review, There will be a video review but my camera, Which is a "Waterproof" Olympus Stylus Tough 6000, Decided to break by you guessed it, Getting put into water, How? I don't know but I only got to record the first half of the review then I went to the pool, And just my luck camera broke. I will be getting a Flip Ultra HD, (YAY!) as soon as Best Buy pays me for my warranty and allows me to purchase a new camera, So stay tuned for that I will definitely post that here too.
