Our good friends over at Arkon sent us this cool little Portable Tablet Stand, the Arkon IPM-TAB1. It’s advertised for the Samsung Galaxy Tab and iPAD, but as most tablet form factors are the same and the stand is fully adjustable, you could use it for almost any tablet available today.
If you’re not familiar with Arkon, they are one of the largest producers of mobile universal mounting solutions. You may also want to check out some of the other Arkon products we’ve had the opportunity to review in the past. You can find some of them for sale on the AndroidSPIN Accessory Store.
Who is Arkon?
Arkon Resources, Inc. (Arkon®), is a manufacturer and global supplier of car mounting solutions used with Portable GPS Navigation Devices, SmartPhones, Satellite Radios, Laptops and Notebooks, Netbooks, and other mobile communication and portable devices. Arkon’s customers include many of the world’s most recognized brand names in portable navigation and wireless mobile communication.
What is the Arkon IPM-TAB1:
Portable Fold-Up Stand for Samsung Galaxy Tab
- For use in airplanes as a seat back tray table tablet computer or eBook stand
- Extremely versatile accessory that can be used almost anywhere including at trade shows or the office, on the nightstand or kitchen counter, or for use with video chat (limited to those tablets having web cameras) or other applications
- Support legs feature non-skid cushioned pads for added stability
I made a Quick Look video of the stand in action so you can see for yourself. The stand is actually pretty nice and feels good and strong. It’s not quite pocket worthy unless you have really big pockets, but you could easily throw it in a bag to take with you.
So without further hesitation, check out the video below:
The bottom line is that if you have a tablet of any kind, you should have one of these on your desk or in your bag. It’s light, flexible, and provides very sturdy support of your tablet computer. When it’s folded up it’s like a long cigar taking up only 7″ x 1″ x 1″ and it weights a mere 2.9 oz.
You can purchase this neat little accessory for $17.95 +S&H directly from Arkon or many times you can find them cheaper with a Quick Google Search around the local accessory stores. It’s worth the money if you have a tablet and want an easy way to prop it up on your desk. It will be an even better price when we give our review unit away to some lucky person. Maybe one of you lucky tablet winners from the 2010 Holiday Triple Tablet Give-a-Way…
If you have any other products you’d like us to review, don’t hesitate to leave us a comment and we’ll see what we can do.
