Iphone/Ipad card Scanner Stand - Scan documents & business cards with your phone

Good idea. However it arrived in a plastic bag which was damaged and the product was damaged as a result. the other comment is that the hole cut for camera is large and phone doesn’t cover it as a whole. The idea of outside light not putting shadows on the document is great however the opening of the box is still letting the shadows to form.

Any product which doesn’t allow you to view feedback by star rating means they are hiding something. Maybe it’s because you are selling a cardboard box for just under £30?

- I liked the ease and accuracy of taking a picture of a document. - I didn’t like the fact that it is not foldable, hence not portable. - I wish it had an internal light source even at extra cost. - the quality of the cardboard could be improved and be more durable.

I don't need a fancy scanner. I need something occasionally to get important documents scanned. This fills that easily. Adobe scan app is their top recommended scanning app currently. I didn't bother trying any of the others, but there are multiples listed. One app even reads the document to you. The developer wants this to be a low cost way to make people scanning needs accessible. It definitely does that. My phone's flash is a little bright, so if I want a really nice quality scan of something I'll set up a different light source or make sure the box is in a darker area. The box is a quality cardboard that withstand being set up and broke down a bunch of times as well as support your phone's weight. The box when folded up fits nicely in a my file draw, so its tucked away safely until I need it next. I will not leave it out unattended or my cats will lay in it. I'm sharing this listing out to my facebook page and a couple of groups so friends know about it. Its just too good of an idea. When I ordered it, I didn't see the option for the white box or the LED add on kit. I think the white box might work better and the LED add on kits definitely would hurt. If you need to go cheap, the brown box by itself will definitely get the job done. The other options just make an even nicer scan and probably takes this up to a great cheap addition for an home office or small business who doesn't need to scan things often.

I bought this for the purpose of scanning a large number of archive documents - it's too tedious to do with a flatbed and even an MFC feeder scanner due to paper variety and double-sided pages. Scanner Bin works amazing in conjunction with Adobe Scan which makes it super easy to create multi-page PDFs with OCR and upload them to Document Cloud (free up to 2GB afaik). The only concern is ambient lighting - you must use phone camera flash but even with it, strong overhead lights will create uneven page lighting. The vendor is selling led add-on side lid that should make this better, but I honestly found the bin to be good enough even without it.

Still need to get light right

Most people probably look at this product and ask "why would I pay this price for a cardboard box." But a lot of design went into this product to make it work well for scanning documents quickly and easily. I have an all in one printer scanner that has both a flat bed and a sheet fed scanner, so if I need to scan many 8.5x11 pages, that device makes more sense. But to be honest, it's a pain to scan a single page, off-size documents like a check. I have to put it in the scanner, scan it, crop it, etc. With this box I can scan from my phone in a matter of seconds, and it lines up immediately, sees the contrasting outline because of the color of the box, crops automatically, no shadows because of the box and I'm done. It works must faster than hand-held scanning. I used the free Microsoft Office Lens app on my phone and it worked without a hitch. Also makes a great box for pilling up things that will need to be scanned. The shape of the box was carefully worked out - making one yourself out of a random cardboard box would take a lot of time and experimentation. This was a worthwhile purchase. I asked the seller a question, and he responded very quickly and generously. I'm very glad I bought it and recommend it highly.
