The perfect device holder for productive and lazy people?

It’s early 2021 when I received an interesting email from Canada. A friendly lady asked me to test Tstand 2, a holder for smartphones, tablets, etc. that I hadn’t seen in this form before. Because if you look at the product images of the gadget, you will see that it is deliberately aimed at any use in the household. From lazing around on the couch to productive work on the tablet.

Since I find it difficult to write a review about such a gadget, I decided to write a review. After a few weeks with Tstand 2, I can say that the bracket is ahead of the first impression in some situations. Because never before has it been so practical to interact with your device without hands.

First area of ​​application: as a holder for cooking or mobile work. Once the stand is folded down and the tablet is clamped, the Tstand 2 is the perfect addition. Devices up to 13.5 inches (approx. 34 cm) find space here, so if you don’t have a flip case or other option to set up your device, the Tstand 2 is the perfect solution. The next steps in cooking are quick and easy to see.

The gadget also proved to be the perfect complement when working. For example, if you connect your tablet to a mouse and keyboard via Bluetooth, you can use the screen in combination with the Tstand 2 as a monitor replacement and do smaller jobs with it. Only mobility suffers from the size of the holder. Because even when folded, the Tstand 2 is not exactly small.

I own a Nintendo Switch myself and was therefore able to convince myself whether the Tstand 2 is also suitable for gaming. My answer: yes and no! For short sessions, the Tstand can be placed on the chest and we can indulge in Mario and Co. with relish. Viewed over a longer period of time, however, that doesn’t really work. Because I personally want to change my position from time to time, the neck stiffens for a short time due to the bracket.

And then there are all those of you who just want to laze around on the couch. Here, too, the stand can be placed on the chest, the tablet, smartphone or e-book reader do not have to be constantly held in this way. Nevertheless, it behaves exactly as mentioned above, in the long term the position is not really relaxing. An episode “Family Guy” or “Rick and Morty” is okay, for long films or long scrolling on mobile geeks, Tstand 2 is rather nothing.

The Tstand 2 is an interesting gadget that has its strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, due to its size, the bracket is not really suitable for on the go, even if it feels valuable and very stable. Personally, I can recommend my recommendation primarily as a replacement for the classic monitor in the home office or briefly gaming on the couch. If you are willing to invest at least 37 US dollars, you can get the device on Kickstarter secure, the financing target has already been achieved 19 times.
