Will an adjustable stand hold a tablet in a thick case?

Many will, but check the lip depth or holder width listed for the stand. Rugged or folio cases may need a stand with a deeper ledge.

Can a tablet stand also hold a phone?

Most adjustable stands fit phones too, since the holder adjusts to the device. Check the minimum width if a phone is the main use.
