The OmniShelf Portable Workstation, Magnetic Toolbox, Laptop Stand w/ 50 lb Capacity, Hands Free Workstation, Attach to HVAC, Trucks, Walls, Poles etc. (Model # OSO1 - Magnets)

I've had the case a year and a half and am very happy with it.The bad - (1) Expensive. (2) Had a magnet come out of the metal cup and stayed stuck to the metal door I mounted the workstation to (after 1 year of use). Adding super glue to the magnets in their metal cups kept them in their mounts. (3) Laptop bounces around when it is the only thing in the case and could benefit from additional padding. For the money, you would expect additional foam to be provided. I keep 2 composition notebooks in the case with the laptop and that keeps the laptop from flopping around. The notebooks also provide my laptop with the clearance it needs to access my USB and Ethernet ports without the cables resting on the sidewall of the workstation.The good - (1) Case is sturdy. (2) Magnets are very strong. I am able to put more weight on it than I expected without slipping. A deliberate jerk is required to unmount the workstation. (3) Ease of use/looks professional. Customers compliment the workstation frequently for how ergonomic it makes my work area while using a laptop.Overall - I can depend on this to make my work environment neater and more comfortable when using a laptop is required in an industrial setting. Stowing a couple composition notebooks inside provides a tighter fit for my laptop.Improvements - Shipping the workstation with additional padding would be an improvement to the value. If the bottom tray was shallower and the top tray was deeper then I would have less stress on my USB and Ethernet ports when connected while maintaining stowable space. Even if they just cut lower on the sides, that would be the biggest improvement for me.

Works great for panel work if you’re a mechanic or technician

Update 7/1/23:Very happy with the Omnishelf! Raising my review to 5 stars after using it daily. I love how compact this is in the field as it allows me to eliminate carrying a small foldable table for my laptop. To give this shelf additional functionality, I designed some 3D printed accessories that clip directly to the Omnishelf and fit inside the case when transporting:• Mutlpurpose drink holder that also serves as a multimeter or ammeter holster• Mouse pad shelfCheck for these accessories on Etsy if you are interested. I have a few other 3D designs I may incorporate as well to add more functionality to the shelf.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I priced out components to make a custom version and the price of materials came close to the price of the Omnishelf. I didn’t factor in my labor, but I could see it would take some time to implement my ideas so I opted for the price of entry. This shelf is robust and grips great with the magnets. I haven’t tested the suction cups yet, but I keep them on me in case I need in field. I have some additional ideas and modifications that I will create with a 3D Printer that will help make this the Ultimate portable shelf. Only negative is the price of the shelf as I feel this should be cheaper for what it is. You’ll see there are other reviews stating the same.

I recommend this. It's exactly what I was looking for. Does what it says.

This shelf works well and the magnets are strong. The only issue that I have is that the lip around the edge interferes with the power cable on my (large) laptop. I plan to file a small indention to accommodate this slight inconvenience.

Heavy duty strong magnets.

Excellent for working in industrial rooms.

The magnets put my computer to sleep. I thought I upgraded to this from a magshelf, but the locations of the magnets keep turning off my monitor. I pull away from the back of the magnets and it wakes back up. Happened to me half a dozen times on the first use. Thinkpad16ESecondarily, the rubbers for the magnets do not fit well. I spent about 20 minutes trying to get them to seat correctly. Two are fine, but one will not seat 100%. Tried with them wet and warm, cold and dry, cold and wet.... etc.
