It’s like a seat for your phone or tablet.
Deep dream
If you use your phone or tablet for Zoom in on meetings or other video calls, you have no doubt discovered the need for some kind of point of view. You have probably also discovered that the camera usually lands too low and is shot at an unflattering upward angle.
If you stream cooking videos in the kitchen or yoga videos on the floor mat, a standard is essential – preferably one that you can raise to get it closer to eye level.
Presto: For a limited time, and while stocks last, Amazon seller Youngtius has the Deep Dream Height Adjustable Tablet Stand for $ 11.04, with a 5% discount coupon on the page that saves you about 55 cents more. It is available in your choice of black or white.
It is compatible with all phones and most tablets, those no larger than 10 inches. The weighted base has a bit of lip around so you can use it to hold things like paper clips and flash drives if you so tend.
Unlike many stands, this one has a telescopic arm that extends about 8 inches. If you put your phone or tablet in the dock, add a few more inches, which should bring your camera close to eye level when sitting at a desk.
If this one is sold out, or if you just want a little more height, then this is it Licheers tablet stand drops to $ 12.60 when applying the 30% off coupon on page. It can stretch to just over 13 inches.
If height is not a priority, but you still want a way to prop your phone or tablet on a comfortable viewing angle, this is it Tounee stand is only $ 10, no coupon or code needed. It is also easier to travel with because it can fold almost flat.
I’m a big fan of these things, especially when the price comes close to the $ 10 level.

Chromebook deals have been scarce for almost a year now since the pandemic began. Suppose you could not turn an old laptop into a Chromebook, here’s a deal worth checking out: Lenovo’s Chromebook C330 drops to $ 215 when applying promotional code CHROMEDAAL2 at the checkout.
This model has an 11.6-inch screen, which along with the adult keyboard may be a little cramped, but it should be good for younger students.
It also has a touch screen, something you can rarely get at this price. This is definitely a plus for kids much more accustomed to communicating with screens by touching them. And the hinge screen can rotate 360 degrees, which also makes tent and tablet modes possible.
In addition, the core specifications are entry-level, but typical: MediaTek processor, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB storage. In other words, it’s a classroom Chromebook, one that feels like a solid bargain at this price.
