After my neck surgery in June, I found that I used my iPad much more than my laptop. I was pretty much delegated to the couch for the first few weeks, so I really became dependent on my iPad and iPhone. The problem was getting the right angle – it is not always easy to achieve on the couch! Although I managed, I wish I had known about the iProp before my surgery.
I was asked to review the Dockem iProp Universal Beanbag Tablet Stand, and gladly said yes! Our teenage daughter hangs out with us and watches television on the couch each evening (that is pretty neat in my opinion, that she wants to hang out with her old folks!), and she often plays on her iPad while she watches TV. I have observed her sitting in some pretty unusual positions, just to get her iPad just right for reading, and it makes me cringe each time. The last thing I want is for her to have neck strain and the other neck problems I have.
She was very excited when the iProp arrived and began using it immediately. She not only uses it when she is sitting on the couch, but it is very convenient when laying in bed, or when sitting in a chair at a table. I have been using it when she is at school, and I love it too!
One of the best features is that it can be positioned pretty much any way you want it. Since it is a beanbag base, you can “squish” it to make it work for you. It works amazingly well on uneven surfaces!
The silicone shelf (where the tablet sits) is really sturdy and grips really well. I don’t worry about our iPads sliding off with each movement. It is wide enough for displaying our iPads in landscape or portrait mode, and is easy to use for all of our iPad viewing needs.
The iProp Beanbag Tablet Stand comes with a little handle on top which makes it easy to take along anywhere. I absolutely love the size of the tablet stand, as it is not cumbersome in the least. It is even small enough to fit in carry-on luggage, without taking up much room at all.
You can purchase the Dockem iProp Universal Beanbag Tablet Stand on the Dockem website for $39.99 each. I think this is a fantastic deal for a product that is built to last for years (I am very impressed with the quality!), and something that will be used daily (at least in our house).

This would be great to avoid all that neck strain, as you mentioned with your daughter’s use oof an IPAD!
As lazy as it sounds (I know, those First World Problems!), I get tired of holding my iPad all the time (not to mention the smudges and fingerprints — argh! Plus, when more than one person is checking out, say, a video or pictures on the iPad, you have to basically pile on top of each other to look at them together (I know, this is not a “problem” in the grand scheme of things LOL).
This would be great for all of us to watch at the same time without someone having to hold up the tablet and inevitably be in someone’s way.
