Probably the most underrated tablet and ereader accessory is an adjustable stand. They make it nice and convenient to use your device hands-free.
If you’ve ever seen any of my YouTube videos you’ll notice the same ereader stand that I’ve been using for the past 4 years.
It comes in handy on a daily basis; everyone that has a tablet or ereader should have a good stand—it’s better than trying to find something to prop it against and hope it doesn’t slide off.
Stands are quite inexpensive. Most cost under $10 and some sell for as little as $5.
The stand that I use is called a 3feet stand. Unfortunately they are no longer being made or sold anywhere, unless you happen to come across one on eBay.
Since I don’t have any experience with other stands, let’s refer to the most popular stands at Amazon and put together a roundup of the stands with the best reviews.
If you have a favorite ereader or tablet stand feel free to share it in the comments!

The green one has been sold…
I don’t have any stands, now I think I need a few instead of having my tablets lying around here and there.
Great topic. Personal favorite is my Case Logic
Tablet Stand (UISH10), got it for $5 several years ago and still available ($14 on Amazon last I checked). Only used 6-8″ ereaders and tablets with it, though. Bought the green 3feet stand on eBay. 🙂
Ah, so you’re the one who got it!
There’s a seller on Ebay (06/17/16) who has NOS, different colors. I just ordered a black one for $7.00, shipped.
Should have mentioned this is the 3Feet stand. 3 black, 1 red and 1 blue available. No relationship with the seller, just wanted to spread the info since I’ve been looking for another one.
