Keep Your Hands Free with a Tablet Clamp
It might not always be convenient to hold your tablet in your hands, so consider attaching it to a nearby surface with a tablet clamp. Whether you need it to keep the kids amused on car long journeys, or to follow a recipe step-by-step in the kitchen, a tablet clamp keeps your tablet in the desired position. Adjusting its angle and/or height and the ability to rotate from portrait to landscape mode mean you can choose the optimum viewing conditions depending on where you are and what you're doing. Whatever its purpose, eBay has a wide variety of tablet clamps and holders at affordable prices.
How can you select the right tablet clamp?Tablet clamps are extremely versatile and can be used both in the home and when you're on the go. To ensure you purchase the right tablet clamp for your needs, consider the following:
- Manufacturer: Choose from the range of branded and unbranded tablet clamps on eBay.
- Tablet dimensions: Check that the tablet holder fits your make/model of tablet by measuring its length, width, and thickness.
- Adjustability of the mount: Tablet clamps can tilt, swivel, and/or be adjusted by height.
- Method of attachment: Depending on their location, tablet clamps might have a suction mount, a clamp, or be on a stand.
- Colour: Although most mounts are black, silver or grey, a range of other colours are available.
- Material: Select a lightweight, plastic, foldable clamp or a heavy duty one made of metal.
- Versatility: Apart from standard single mounts, eBay also has a selection of dual tablet/phone stands, or ones which can be used with a selfie stick and/or tripod.
Depending on the model, tablet holders keep the device in position by the use of rubber grips, snap-on clips, or spring-loaded jaws. Once these fixtures are clipped correctly into place, your tablet is both secure and steady. These attachers are lined with a protective material like silica gel to prevent scratches to the tablet.
Can tablet clamps cause damage to the surface when attached?The feet of mounted tablet stands usually have a protective foam underlay. This prevents the stand from scratching the surface to which it is attached, and also stops it from slipping. If you plan to attach a suction tablet holder to a soft leather or vinyl dashboard, the holder is often supplied with a circular adhesive mounting disc. This prevents indentation marks from forming.
