Tablet stands were made in order to do one, obvious thing: keep us from using our hands all the time. After all, there’s nothing worse than settling in for a movie before bed on your tablet, only to have it fall on you repeatedly because your wrist got tired. Fortunately, these tablet stands we’ve chosen will make that problem seem a thing of the past.

Which tablet stand should you get?
Tablets have all sorts of uses, ranging from watching YouTube videos and movies to playing music, keeping up to date on social media, and even getting work done. Stands can be helpful for some of those tasks more than others, and if you’re looking for a multipurpose stand that works well for most scenarios, the UGREEN stand is simple, portable, and adaptable.
If you need a more flexible stand that lets you adjust to virtually any angle and mount your tablet onto anything, the Gooseneck Tablet Holder from Lamicall has a large clamp that can attach to just about any countertop or other surface. Lastly, a common use for tablets is in music performance, since large screens are great for displaying sheet music. With the CTA Digital Floor Stand, you can adjust the height of your tablet without having to worry about it toppling over thanks to the weighted base.
