Let’s talk about the Zerodeko X-shaped book holder—a product that promises convenience but left me with mixed feelings.

First, the design: It’s sleek and minimalist, with a clear acrylic finish that blends into any desk setup. The X-shape is creative, and it does hold books, magazines, or sheet music at a comfortable angle. I used it for my piano scores during practice, and it kept them upright without slipping. But here’s the catch—it’s tiny. Compared to my husband’s Galaxy S22 Ultra case (yes, I measured), it felt underwhelming for the price.

The build quality is decent—not flimsy, but don’t expect premium thickness either. The acrylic is sturdy enough for lightweight items, but I wouldn’t trust it with heavy textbooks. Removing the matte film was oddly satisfying, though!

Verdict: If you need a compact stand for sheet music or light reading, it works—but shop around for better value. For $10 less, you could get something sturdier.
