We use tablets a lot at home and keep these stands all over. They've held up well to use and abuse and are very stable, including when in portrait. The purple print in the photos has been beaten up by my kids for months. None of them have broken yet. 


The print files are  .20mm - speed with some minor changes, but I generally print them at .30 Draft with maybe 4-5 perimeters and they come out fine and print more quickly. It also prints fine without a brim in PLA if your printer is reasonably well calibrated. I rounded the corners a good amount to reduce the likelihood of warping. 
 
The translucent blue print in the photo was printed at default .30 draft/generic PLA with no brim and no supports. The photo was taken right off the printer with no cleanup.
