We’ve all been there. You want to use your tablet, and you position it just right, and then after a minute, you watch it slowly slip down and fall flat. And then you try it again, only to get the same frustrating result. Or maybe it’s hard to find enough desk or table space for your tablet. But what if you had a tablet holder that positioned your device perfectly, hands free? Can you imagine?  Your world opens up, you exhale a sigh of relief, and wonder why you didn’t get one sooner after you’ve experienced life with a flexible, practical tablet mount. For more information about tablet holders, check out our buying guide below with commonly asked questions, details, and our recommendations for some of the best tablet mounts on the market today.

What can I do with a tablet mount?

The beauty of tablet holders is that the ways you can use them are literally endless. For starters, you can attach your tablet mount to your table or desk for video conferencing or watching shows. You can also keep your tablet mounted on the side of your workspace, and it won’t take up room on the desktop. For entertainment and winding down, you can clamp a tablet mount to your bed and stream your favorite shows playing above as you watch from a comfortable reclined position. You can also use tablet mounts for exercise by securing your tablet to any stable object – even at the gym – as you follow along with workout videos. Tablet mounts are not just restricted to in home, gym or office use. You can enhance your life on the go with a tablet mount in the car, too. These are just a few of the possibilities of things you can do with a tablet mount, and no doubt there are many more uses, too. 

Can I use my touch screen with a tablet mount?

While some people may want to simply use their tablet for viewing while using a tablet mount, others may want to use their tablet in a more interactive way, tapping or typing on the touch screen. Some types of tablet mounts offer a secure hold that keeps steady while you tap your screen, while other tablet mounts may bounce or wobble with screen tapping action. Check the product details for more information and advice about how to avoid wobbling with screen taps.
