Alza is selling out a bamboo phone stand for 19 CZK! It normally costs 129 crowns and is disappearing from stock

Not every Black Friday deal has to be about thousands. Sometimes, twenty crowns are enough to solve a minor problem. The AlzaPower Bamboo Stand Essential is exactly the type of product you buy impulsively at full price, or smartly during a sale. And now is the right time.

85% Discount – but what do you get for it?

The original price of 129 CZK dropped to 19 crowns. This is the kind of discount where one thinks, “well, even if it’s for single use, I won’t lose much.” But the stand is more solid than its price would suggest.

It is a 100% bamboo product with two cutouts – 11 mm and 13 mm. You can insert a phone without a case or with a thin cover into the thinner cutout, while the wider cutout can accommodate bulkier protection. You can place the phone vertically or horizontally, depending on whether you are typing messages or watching a video.

The packaging is 100% recyclable and printed with soy ink. If the ecological aspect interests you, AlzaPower did not slack in this regard.

Reviews tell the truth: It’s not perfection

I went through dozens of customer reviews and I have to be fair – the stand has its flaws. The most common complaint? It slides on the table. Bamboo doesn’t have an anti-slip finish, so when you press on the phone’s screen, the stand can slide across the table. A solution exists – stick a few rubber feet on the bottom, which you can get for a few crowns at a hobby market.

The second problem concerns case compatibility. Several users state that a phone with a bulkier cover (for example, an iPhone 13 Pro in an armored case) does not fit even into the wider cutout. If you have extra massive protection, the stand might be unusable.

The third note concerns surface quality – some reviews mention that the cutouts are rough and can scratch the case. This is not a problem if you have a cheap silicone cover, but owners of expensive leather cases need to be careful.

What do the numbers say?

The stand has a rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars on Alza based on dozens of reviews. This is a solid result for a product in this price category. Most negative ratings concern specific problems (thick cases, slipping), not overall quality.

If the product doesn’t work as expected, AlzaPower offers immediate replacement at all Alza branches. This is an above-standard service that you will appreciate if something goes wrong.

Is it worth 19 crowns?

Definitely yes, but with realistic expectations. It’s not a luxury piece with magnetic attachment and wireless charging. It’s a bamboo piece of wood with two cutouts. But for nineteen crowns, it’s a purchase that can solve a minor problem.

If you have a phone with a thin or medium-thick case, it will work. If you have an armored cover as thick as a bank vault, it’s better to measure the thickness before ordering. And if slipping bothers you, invest another twenty crowns in rubber feet.

Do you buy small items on Black Friday, or do you only wait for big discounts?
