Even if your tablet is as light as a feather, when working, surfing or playing with a slate in your hands, even the thinnest tablet can get pretty heavy on your nerves. A stable stand for the tablet which ensures comfortable typing and interacting with the tablet in different positions is what we need, because there are times away from the couch or bed where a stable stand for a tablet is needed. None of the big brands ship their devices with a stand and none provide it as an accessory. Apples overpriced IPAD2 Smartcover has a pretty neat magnet clip which covers the pad and when folded and flipped back — it is then supposed to hold the tablet upright, but it cannot really count as an stable stand. Also ASUS has something similar for the Transformer, the ASUS Sleeve Case for ASUS Eee Pad ASUS Sleeve Case for ASUS Transformer (TF101 Sleeve) , but ASUS’ at least covers the back.  But like Apple’s iPad2 Smartcover, it cannot really count as a stable stand at all, but I guess that’s a different story.

So a stable stand for our tablet should hold the device in different positions, it should be heavy enough to stand stable on the table, floor or other even surface 😉 Also a must is, that the tablet-stand is compatible with different brands and different sizes. Let’s say you writing an email, you want the tablet-stand to hold the device in a different position when typing than you do when doing, let’s say a presentation.
