You’ll Love This $20 Tablet Holder
Play, flip, play, flip, play flip. We’ve all been there, fighting dead arms, numb hands, and sore necks to get our last few minutes of gaming in before bed. For hours on end, I could wiggle around a Nintendo DS without feeling a pinch. Dragon Quest Builders was giving me a lot of pain now, and I was rushing through each town to get through it.
As last year wore on, I started thinking of ways to break free. There’s no need to tape the Switch to the ceiling because I dropped my phone on my head too many times. Platformers are challenging enough without turning my head 90 degrees, so I could stand it on a bedside table. My pain was over when I saw the Nintendo Switch deal on Cyber Monday.
A simple tablet holder would do the trick – the kind you’d find attached to your Gran’s chair or on the counter of your aunt’s surprisingly fancy kitchen. It was as simple as hooking up the clamp to the side of the bed, strapping in the Switch tablet, wriggling the flexible arm (and waiting until it stopped bouncing) and it was over.
Now I can see all the colors and shapes I want without flipping, crooked necks, or blue fingers, and all without doing a single screen stretch or pause. This year’s Lamicall version is back on sale (but they’re all essentially the same, just watch for different grip shapes and sizes).
It’s currently on sale on Amazon for $19.99 / £18.99 – $13 / £7 off its starting price. It’s much cheaper than a chiropractor and worth the $20.
At Amazon: Lamicall Gooseneck Tablet Holder | $19.99
Suffer no more! Save $13! These $20 gadgets will make Nintendo Switch players stand up (without rolling their shoulders out first) against creaking Zelda joints all night. My Switch has never been happier with $20/£20 I’ve spent.
