The iPads Have Taken Over

Last month I finally broke down and purchased my first tablet, the new iPad 3. I must admit I’m impressed, even my wife liked it so much we ended up getting one for her as well.  Since then we have been taken over by iPad fever. 

I loaded tons of useful apps on both of our tablets so we are now addicted to them, we take them everywhere and they have been very useful. The only negative is they are so thin and sometimes are cumbersome to use and keep handy.  I use mine for work and when I’m sitting at my desk it’s a little awkward to handle and prop it up so I can easily access it, and my wife uses hers in the kitchen while she is cooking and she doesn’t want to leave the iPad out on the counter where it can get spilled on, plus when she needs to swipe to get to another screen she needs to use both hands to hold the tablet and swipe. 

We also have used them in the car for the kids to watch shows while we are on longer trips but we were concerned with them dropping the tablet on the floor or tossing it around back there so I did a little searching online and found some great solutions for all of our needs.

I found a mount the attaches to the bottom of the kitchen cabinets that swivels to the perfect position for my wife to see it while she’s cooking and she can now operate it with one hand which makes is super easy for her to swipe with her hands full or dirty. I also purchased two more of these iPad mounts  and turned them around and mounted on my home office desk and the other at the office. They work great, I can now position the tablet in the perfect place for viewing and keep my hands and desk free. 

The last investment I made was for two headrest mounts for our cars so the backseat passengers can watch their shows and position the tablets for the best view and best of all I know there not getting tossed around or dropped.

I don’t know how our family did without these handy devices but we are hooked and the iPad mounts make them so much handier.
