Monkey Tail Kit - Ultimate Tablet Holder

We have seen many different methods for holding your tablet while in use and there are quite a few. Some are average or run of the mill and there is always a few that are special and very unique. That is what we have seen in the Monkey Tail Kit from Octa and it is something unique. Just as the kitten here is in shock at what this small cat is seeing, it is such a simple idea that catches you by surprise. A long tail to support the holding of your favorite tablet for use. And in just about any position as well.

The company is calling this the Monkey Kit in their TabletTail line, but I feel that the Monkey Tail is a far more appropriate name for what this product can do for you. The Monkey Tail has a very long tail and thus the name Monkey Tail. You can wrap the tail around anything or shape it in such a way to hold your tablet up. The Money Tail is stiff and long (36 inches) to provide you with one of the best multipurpose solutions.

The vacuum doc which comes with each TabletTail kit is the magic that makes the Monkey Tail a great product. This vacuum allows you to attach your very own Monkey Tail on your tablet with 5 pushes on the unit to create a seal that will hold your tablet for days. Disconnecting the vacuum is relatively simple by releasing the vacuum seal you created. That is the magic that will let you hold your tablet with the Monkey Tail in just about any position.

The Monkey Tail provides you with hands free use of your tablet and allows you to turn in with their 360 degree rotation. Coming in at 1.49 pounds, the Monkey Tail provides you with what we see as the best solution to hold your tablet hands free to utilize your tablet to the fullest. The claims are that the Monkey Tail works with the iPad and most tablets which are non-porous surfaces. Thus the "most tablets" claim from the company. Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to use the Monkey Tail from Octa and their TabletTail line.

We wrote about the Monkey Tail when it was on KickStarter and it is great to see that they have released the product as estimated. You can pick one up for $99.99 from Octa or from Bite My Apple.

Exomount Tablet Holder Gives Your Car A Dash Screen

If your car does not have a built in flat screen in it for various functions, you sometimes feel left out from everyone else. But even if you have an built in screen in the dashboard of your car, you may not really have exactly what you want or need in your vehicle. Your tablet has everything that you want on it, but it does not fit to place it on the dashboard of your vehicle. And you cannot have it above the dash as that would make it a hazard. So, if you want to use your tablet as though it was part of the car, what can your do.

There is the Exomount Universal Tablet Mount from EXOGEAR and this may be the exact answer to fit your needs in having your tablet attached to your car and looking like it is part of your car. It is reportedly able to support any tablet up to 10.1 inches, so this is definitely a universal product. The suction cup on this unit should work on most dashboards, including smooth and textured ones.

As you can see from the video below, the Exomount Tablet Universal holder is easily installed and adjusted to fit the size of your tablet up to 10.1 inches. Once mounted, you can tilt and swivel your tablet to get it into the position you want to use it. You have to remember that a tablet can be distracting, so be very careful when using a tablet while driving your car. Typing text messages or emails is not what you should be doing.

The Exomount Tablet holder can be purchased from the company web site for $69.95, but if you search the web, you can probably pick one up for less than $50. Another related item that comes from Exogear if their Exomount 2 unit which will hold your smart phone in the holder on your dash. Just be aware that in some US States, this may be a violation of vehicles codes for safety. Or the Headrest Mount for keeping the kids entertained. They seem to have a number of products which can fit your needs.

Monkey Tail Holder Lets You Position Your Tablet Just About Anywhere

KickStarter Friday - Great product to prop up your tablet just about anywhere.
Every now and then a great new product is designed and created to fill a great need for the masses. Since the number of tablets continues to grow, there comes a need to find a way to stand up your tablet when you are in different locations. Most of the current stands are like standing a book up and are not flexible at all. This weeks KickStarter Friday project is one that has a lot of imagination and some fantastic usability for your tablet.

The Monkey Tail Kit gives you the flexibility to use your tablet hands free and in a number of settings. The tail is flexible and can be bent into many different shapes and attached to things to hold your tablet in place and at the appropriate angle for you to use. This is a great idea and product. When this product is available, it will consist of two parts. One is vacuum dock and when you attach it to your tablet, you squeeze the pump 5 times, it creates a seal that keeps your tablet from coming off. The other part is the tail, which is a length of 3 feet and can be bent and shaped to fit your needs in using your tablet.

This is a very simple idea and is going to generate a lot of interest when it is released. It has 34 days still to go on the KickStarter project and has been pledged at almost double the goal of $20,000. The estimated delivery date for those who have pledged $80 or more is April of 2013. If you do pledge $80 or more, you will be one of those lucky souls who receive the Monkey Tail Kit before it comes to market. The expected price for this when it becomes available is $99.99, so early backers get a discount as well.

The company is saying that the vacuum seal on your tablet will last for days, but just how many days will have to be determined. With the investment in a tablet, you may want to release the seal and re-establish it daily so that your tablet does not fall off and get damaged. We believe this will be the best tablet holder for 2013 because of its great flexibility.

Here is the video from the Octa group and clearly demonstrates just how great this coming product actually is. Stay with the video until the very end as they show a use for your tablet in a location where most of us deny using it.
