Fits XT1585 nicely, but kickstand is very fragile
I've gone through 3 of these cases, each one breaking after a month or so.
Case fits the XT1585 perfectly, and I like the general design, the button recesses for volume and on/off switches, and the protection if offers the phone.
But.... kickstand is very weak and easily breaks. The tiny plastic tabs that connect the kickstand to the case are fragile. All 3 cases have failed in this same manner. They last about a month or less.
The case still protects phone without the kickstand attached, but it looks ugly and has no support stand, which is a one of the main reasons I chose this case in the first place.
Two of the attached pics are of the kickstand after it broke off the case. You can see the missing little tab, which has broken off.

Works great, excellent value, versatile tool
So this is the 2nd one of these lift-stand we've purchased, The first one worked so well we decided to get a second to lift and support bikes at both ends independently when needed (for example, when removing one or both wheels you need to balance and/or add a 2nd support so the bike doesn't pitch up-down). Purchases have been from 2 separate eBay sellers.
Surprisingly good for around $50+.
They come assembled, except for the cradle-support pieces, which are easy to install. Works great on dirt, dual sport, and adventure bikes (mid-weights about 500+ lbs). We would probably use 2 lift-stands for big heavyweights -- large cruisers and the like,
Don't know how the manufacturer assigns the 1,100-pound rating, but there are much less heavy-duty scissor jacks that come with cars/SUVs, -- loads well over 1,100 lbs.
Preparation: You'll want to grease the acme drive screw and nut thoroughly, and also the thrust ball-bearing at the drive-end, its bearing race, and the other thrust washers before use. The manufacturer applies only a thin layer of oil, but no grease.
Lifting: You can use the included T-tool wrench, or use your own socket+crank arrangement to drive the acme screw. However, I like to use a 7/8" socket (22mm) with a cordless drill-driver to raise and lower the lift. This makes for the ideal power-jack setup; fast and easy lifting in a matter of seconds. Note again, make sure everything is greased well.
Adjustment and versatility: There's lots! The unit's platform is plenty large to support about any motorcycle. It can be used with or without the two cradle support pieces. Without the cradles, use use a slab of rubber or piece of thin plywood on the platform.
The two cradle supports that come with the unit are independently height-adjustable, can be spread and spaced apart any distance along the platform, and can be rotated independently for cross-tube or longitudinal-tube frame designs. Very versatile and adjustable in this regard.
For example, I have an old Honda SL350 with two longitudinal frame tubes beneath either side of the engine, which are at different heights by about 1/2" or so. This lift-stand works great for this situation because each cradle support adjusts independently.
What they don' tell you: When lifting-supporting, it's best to keep the bike's weight positioned over the driven-end of the platform, where the scissor bars are fixed-hinged. As the lift raises, the width of the scissor mechanism becomes narrower and narrower, so it retracts from one end of the platform. This leaves the far end of the platform less supported, sort of cantilevered, which you may want to avoid, especially for heavy loads.
Value: Considering that just a basic, simple motorcycle stand costs over $50 these days, this unit is a bargain and it works really well.
You have to use common sense in the way it's position and used (and prep'd/lubed out-of-the-box), but that generally applies to any tool in the shop. Those who've complained about unstable and questionable support with this lift-stand maybe aren't applying proper common sense, good judgement or caution in setup and use. Again, for really hefty bikes, it's best to use two supports.
Durability: I'm not sure how long these lift-stand will actually last, but if they're regularly lubed and and inspected, they'll probably last a long time.
Hope this helps!

Good workmanship, Poor materials. Not for storage outside
1 of 1 found this helpful Generous fit for 23FLL Hi-Lo FunLite (23 feet trailer including tongue).
Pros:
Front-to-back fit: Generous amount of cover. Covered trailer tongue, propane tanks, rear spare tire on back of trailer, and rear bumper.
Top-to-bottom fit: Just the right height for Hi-Lo. Uses 4 straps with buckles to secure cover, straps route beneath the trailer. 4 straps work OK but 6 would be a lot better.
Breathes well and allows moisture to escape, so doesn't trap water between cover and trailer; this is an important feature of a cover to be breathable.
Keeps snow and water out OK.
Stitching: Great workmanship here. Strong enough, neatly executed, reinforced well. Elastic around corners/edges helps cover fit and conform to trailer's corner nicely.
Cons:
Fabric is cheap and subject to weather rot quite quickly. This cover lasted only 10 months before the roof area rotted and tore. When removed, I found the roof area fabric had been reduced to paper-towel strength. This is a non-woven material made from spun-laced fiber, not thread. It's not very tough even when new. With a little UV and some weather cycles, it becomes very fragile, even though it's probably UV treated from the factory.
Climate for storage: Summers are dry, typical high temps low-90's, sunny. Winters light to moderate snow, lows in low-20s. Accumulated snow over a couple inches was usually cleared from the trailer's roof. Not much rain, generally calm winds but occasional brief higher winds with some of the storms.
Conclusion: Adco 12252 would be OK for covered parking storage. It cannot endure exposure to even mid-to-milder weather conditions for long without rotting.
Experience: Have owned custom-made heavy canvas cover (lasted over 10 years), have used blue plastic poly-tarps (last 2 years but trap moisture and cause damage to interior), mid-grade cloth cover ($300-$400 last 2-3 years), and now the Adco non-woven fabric here. I got an amazing eBay deal at $208 for three of these Adco 12252 covers brand new, so I did OK cost-wise at $69/each. I would not recommend at full price and I would not recommend for outdoor storage.
Adco states these are not for sustained use in tougher climates. Got it. That said, they should endure more than a mere 10 months in mid-to-mid weather.
