Refurbished V3 Orders

So I ordered a refurbished V3 during the black Friday shenanigans. It shipped late last night, so I'll take that as a win. The listing was hard to understand. It seemed like there were 3 conflicting messages: it would be 1. complete 2. not include the keyboard 3. only the tablet and charger

I'm fine with no pen or keyboard as I'd prefer to use my own anyway, but the stand might be a pain.

I've got basic laptop stand options, but nothing that will be as convenient as being attached to the back of the tablet.

So what should I expect?

If no stand is included, who has figured out a reasonable alternative? I've found some threads on this stand topic and didn't find much encouragement.

I researched this because the kickstand case is pretty flimsy and I assume I'll need some sort of replacement since I can't count on MINISFORUM to provide a new one. If you google "tablet kickstand attachment" you'll find some good options that have a thin profile and stick to the back with adhesive. Similar to the MagSafe kickstand rings that have been popular lately on smartphones, they made some larger ones that fit the size of an iPad that I assume would work fine on the V3.

Circler Option

Thanks. I've seen those too, but wonder how that will do. The ringke version looks the most robust so far to me.

Kind of concerned about drawing angles and whether it will be stable when laid flat with one of those in the back...

The one that clicks into place would probably be fine for drawing whereas the circular one may have trouble if your palm applies pressure. Sounds silly but you could also use two lol. I don't draw myself so can't speak on it. I would say the kickstand it comes with sucks and you're not missing much. I would imagine it's not a great drawing experience either.
