It's also got rubber pads for slip and scratch resistance.

Popular choice: Lamicall Adjustable Tablet Stand
Lamicall is well-known for its tech accessories and its tablet stand is one of its most well-loved options. Its tablet stand comes in three colors and supports devices from 4 to 13 inches in size which is great if you've got a tablet on the larger side. You can adjust the angle and there's a neat spot for threading the charging cable through to keep things looking tidy.

On-the-go: Twelve South Compass Pro
Twelve South's Compass Pro is a great portable tablet stand option as it folds up and slides into its protective sleeve for easy transportation. It has three viewing angles, ideal for viewing, typing, and sketching, and it can hold your tablet in portrait or landscape orientations. Though it is designed specifically for iPad devices, it will also work with other tablets.

For relaxing: Lamicall Tablet Pillow Stand
When kicking back on the couch or watching movies in bed, using a metal tablet stand is not always ideal. Lamicall's tablet pillow stand is instead softer and more lap-friendly with three viewing angles. It works with tablets from 4.7 inches to 13 inches in size and has a removable cover.
