The plethora of slates released in recent times seems to have invented a whole new market for their complementary accessories, and the latest one to emerge is the Flote tablet stand. This sleek and thin tool claims to offer tablet owners a very comfortable, handsfree viewing experience.
Slates such as the iPad offer users various entertainment options such as movies, TV shows and eBooks which can be exploited either while on the go or in the comfort of their own home. However, holding it up for long viewing sessions may seem to be quite a task. The many hours spent on the device might just incur neck pain, tingling fingers and backache.
To eliminate such problems, a stand for securely placing the tablet in, appeared to be a good idea and hence the Flote iPad stand was conceptualized by an inventor, Dave Cutler. According to him, users can place this contraption anywhere and conduct marathon sessions of movie viewing while conveniently reclining on the sofa or bed, without the discomfort of holding the slate in awkward positions.
This machined-metal floor stand has been designed to securely hold various popular tablets including the iPad and Kindle eReaders, among many others, in almost any position. The sophisticated tool can be easily adjusted without providing any problems when it comes to tightening or loosening of screws and knobs.
Ubergizmo reports that the Flote tablet stand comes with a price tag starting at $245 and can be pre-ordered online at Kickstarter.com.
