Samuel J Tan Personal Technology, Tablets, Technology 1

Just got your new shiny tablet, why not give it a home on your desk with a polished cradle.

Make your tablet work even harder for you when you are at your desk. Use one of these cradles to seat your tablet at a viewing angle suitable for work. You will never have to miss a notification or video call. It also makes it easier to access information from your emails or notes doubling as an extended display of sort. Most of these cradles also have space that lets you reach the charging port in case the tablet needs topping up.

The bottom line is, these tablet stands exudes elegance and style, a perfect fit for your premium tablet. Our list of cradles are made mainly of metal with different finish. Our favourite is the silver finish as it matches the Apple iMac and some All-in-One Desktop computers from major brands like HP, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung and Asus. If you have a tablet or laptop in space grey then choose the black or dark grey finish to match.

These tablet stands are not only for tablets. The compact size of the cradle allows it to fit a smartphone too. It is likely that one may not be enough. An aspect of the cradles in our list that we notice is that there are no fiddly clamps or mounting jaw for the tablet or smartphone, just a straight forward seated cradle which makes it accessible and easy to use.

So here are some key considerations when choosing the right premium tablet cradle:

Colour: you want the shade and colour to match your desktop or laptop or even tablet. There are plenty to choose from; silver, space grey, black, gold and rose gold. There is even metallic red if you like your stand to stand out.
Profile: Most cradle have a fixed solid profile made form a single piece of metal. However, for flexibility, you may consider a stand that lets you change the viewing angle. These have a multi-angle join so you can tilt your table back or forward.
Foldable & Portability: Not everyone needs to take their cradle with them but should you have a need to do this, there are tablets cradles with a foldable body. These tend to fold flat for easy storage or to fit in your bag.
Protection for your devices: The stands featured here are also padded where the tablet or smartphone meets the surface of the stand. Make sure that there is sufficient padding to stop the tablet from being damaged or slipping off the stand.

A suction cup tablet mount is a better choice I would say. It’s more versatile and convenient like these from Amazon. You can also find suction cup phone mounts for your smartphones, also on Amazon.
