It’s really hot in my neighborhood right now and I know that is true for many of my loyal readers. Because of the heat I’m spending a lot more time indoors with air conditioning. This means I use my tablet a lot more at this time of year and I don’t always want to hold it in my hands. Today we’ll look at one way to use tablets hands-free. Yes, there will be an Amazon link that earns me a very small commission while providing you the best price available. Nothing else was provided to me for writing this post.

Last summer during Amazon’s Prime Day sale I got the Fire HD 10 Plus tablet and I regularly use it. The largest amount of time is spent reading books in the Kindle app. But it also a very capable device for consuming video content or participating in a video call of some sort. For either of these uses, there are times I’d prefer not to have to hold the tablet at all times. For this specific tablet, Amazon has the Wireless Charging Dock for Fire HD 10 Plus. For me, this is overkill and more than I want to spend.

An alternative is the Amazon Basics Adjustable Tablet Holder Stand which costs a lot less and works with most all brands of tablets. It is a fairly simple design that can hold your tablet in either portrait or landscape orientation and can also adjust the angle so you get the exact view you want. At only 3 ounces, it is also very simple to carry it with you so you can enjoy your tablet most anywhere.
