I got this acrylic stand for my full size Echo:

A bit pricey for plastic/acrylic, but I like it.

I use the battery pack https://www.amazon.co.uk/Smatree-Intelligent-Battery-9000mAh-Anywhere/dp/B01LYK0R6T/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494925976&sr=8-1&keywords=echo+battery+pack It's not huge but it adds stability and also mobility.

Variable but I can unhook it at 8.30 am and it will play until around 4 pm, sometimes a bit longer, before it goes off.

what is the point of those stands other than to change the look?  I can't imagine people are knocking their echo off of the table or counter they are sitting on.

Kids and grandkids can do this with no problems!

Cats are pretty expert at it too, and dogs' tails can execute a mean swipe-and-go!
