How to choose the right tablet holder?

With a tablet holder , you put your tablet in a stable upright position. The standard tablet holders you can buy online are generally not height adjustable. Within our assortment you will only see tablet holders that are adjustable in height. Ideal to get the tablet at more or less the same height next to your laptop screen or monitor. Combined with a bluetooth compact keyboard and ergonomic mouse, you create an optimally arranged ergonomic workplace, with which you can operate all your devices simultaneously.

What are the ergonomic benefits of a tablet holder?

The use of a tablet holder ensures that the screen of the tablet is elevated, thus preventing bending of the neck. This significantly reduces tension in the neck and shoulder muscles, reducing or preventing physical complaints. Because the tablet is so compact and mobile, a healthy working posture is often no longer considered. Often the tablet is used in locations where ergonomic working is hardly possible. Therefore, it is important to use a height-adjustable stand. With a tablet holder you can position the tablet in a correct way and thus prevent RSI complaints.

What does science say about the tablet and neck pain?

Scientific research conducted by the U.S. Department of "Environmental Health," Microsoft and Boston Medical School (Younga et al. 2012) has shown that using a tablet leads to greater flexion of the neck compared to using a laptop or PC. As a result, the use of the tablet causes neck pain faster than the other devices. Based on these results, the researchers recommend placing the tablet on a holder to improve the viewing angle and posture.
The research team looked at subjects who used a tablet for surfing, e-mailing, gaming and watching movies. These subjects were observed using an infrared recording system, which recorded body position. Some tablets were placed in a holder, while others were not, to create different situations. The results showed that tablet users' necks were relaxed only when the tablet was held upright using a stand. In any other situation, the neck muscles were tightened to look down, where the screen was located.
It is also known that typing on a tablet is slower than typing on an external keyboard (Chaparro, 2010). This ultimately leads to less productivity. The best tablet keyboard is an external (compact) keyboard. This allows you to type faster and improves posture by eliminating the tablet from lying flat on the table. The compact size of the keyboard makes it easy to carry around and thus to use in different situations.
