OFFICE SOLUTIONS TABLET STAND Softly, softly


Useful in the office, the iCrib is a neat way to work on your tablet. Like a bean bag for the tablet or even a laptop computer, it comes in a range of colours and patterns. It is particularly good for uneven surfaces, but can be used when balancing your tablet on your lap, in bed or on the sofa when working from home. It is especially great in your lap while travelling, and has a side pocket to hold your smartphone. INFO carycase.en.alibaba.com
