I use a Hannspree 13" tablet (which is great with Music Sheets). But none of the tablet-to-mic-stand holders are big enough. Moreover, I play piano and often have to use whatever instrument is available at a gig. Most acoustic pianos hold it just fine (including my Kawai), but some don't.
I keep a roll of 1" blue painter's tape in my kit. This is low residue tape, and has always solved the problem of the tablet sliding off the piano.
I play an electric piano/organ with a symphony orchestra, and the tablet fits fine on a regular orchestra music stand. A chorus I accompany has a Roland electric piano with a plastic music stand that bolts on top; it is too slippery for the tablet, and I use the tape to hold it.
I think my main point was, if you already have a stand that is substantial enough to hold a large and heavy tablet (and many will have) there is no need to spend another 40 or 50 $/£ .
I have a Tab3 and when it is in it's leather cover, no way it slips of my stand (I have a quite large, stable stand) I guess a larger galaxy Note 12 inch would also stand fine on it.. But the leather cover is a must, the straight edges work as anti slip.
So I do not feel the need for a special tablet stand right now.

Yes, I use it with a Note 12.2 and it works fine.
A little bit expensive, but good.

I used to use the K&M. But, it is not big enough for many of the 13 inch tablets. And, maybe because I used it with a tablet that just barely fit it (the, now discontinued, Toshiba Excite 13"), I felt if you just touched it, it would break down into its various piaces (causing the tablet to fall). I am happy with this (pretty much just a smaller version of a regular music stand):

Lots has been sayed here about stands, tough i like to share the setup that works for me,
the
http://produkte.k-m.de/en/product?info=1...5047cf9673 tablet holder is one of the few holders wide enough for my 12" Surface pro3,
I removed the back cover of the holder and turned the whole thing 1 quarter anti clock wise. Now the side holder is under the tablet.
Eventually I ended up removing the sideholder because it got in the way of the USB connection which i use for my USB Pedal.
This holder can be used with any straight Mic stand, but I fancy this one:

The Gostand is the smallest foldeble stand i could find.
As a add-on I removed the top of a cheap music stand thad I had, an welded a adapter like

now im always flexible to use either the tablet or paper music. (I had to use this adapter since the Airturn gostand has a 5/8" connection)
All this i can simply hold in one 13" Tablet Backpack like the
