Tablets are proving to be far better than laptops for personal use. For one, the latest generation of tablets from Samsung and the iPads has full HD screens that make viewing movies or surfing the internet a pleasure. The size is just right—not too small like smartphones or too large and cumbersome like laptops. One can hold a tablet and move around the house or one can stretch out on a sofa or on the bed and use the tablet.
First of all one must get the right tablet holder. A stand frees up both hands. Usually one keeps the neck bent while handholding the tablet and this can cause neck strain. Use a stand positioned at the right height avoids strain on the hands and neck strain too. Shopguard tablet holders are perfect for use in beds and are available in different types with two especially suitable for this purpose. One is the versatile flexible gooseneck type stand for iPads and tablets that can be placed on the bed by one’s side and the broad circular base keeps it steady. The gooseneck allows anyone to tilt the tablet for the perfect viewing angle. The gooseneck is quite flexible and can be bent or kept straight up as one pleases. One can put the stand atop a couple of pillows to raise it to the appropriate height while one is stretched out on the bed. This type of stand is suited for couples. It can be put right in between two people for easy viewing. In case the surface of the bed is uneven it is advisable to use something like a flat board on which on which to keep the iPad stand for better stability. The enclosure on top holds the tablet securely inside it and if at all one does drop the stand to the floor, the tablet does not sustain any damage because of the ABS enclosure protecting it.
While the flexible stand is quite versatile it can become destabilized if the bed is very soft and springy. Moving one’s body could result in movements of the bed that could upset the stand. In such cases where beds are unusually soft and springy it is best to use a free floor standing unit for tablets. A stand with adjustable center pole is to be preferred since it allows one to adjust the height to the desired level. In any case, even if one chooses a fixed pillar height, care should be taken to ensure it is above the bed height. The advantage of this type of stand is that one can move about freely on the bed and such movement of the bed will not affect stability of the stand.
Watching movies or TV channels on the iPad while one is in bed is a delightfully pleasant experience. Hand-holding the tablet can be uncomfortable if one plans on extended viewing. Holders that can be used in bed are the right solution to make the viewing experience more enjoyable and shopguard stands are perfect for use of tablets in beds.
