Standing Ovation
Trade shows and tablets go hand in hand – literally. Booth staffers have been toting tablets around the show floor since the first edition of the iPad rocked the market in 2010. The nifty touchscreen devices have countless in-booth applications, from lead qualification systems to interactive digital product demos. But since the pricey gadgets have a tendency to grow legs if they're not tethered, EXHIBITOR rounded up seven examples of tablet stands that will add a dash of style to your exhibit while keeping your tablets secure.
Curve Appeal
This slick tablet stand will help get attendees' eyes on your marketing messaging. The 85-inch-tall Wave Tablet 02 from Nimlok Online Inc. features a unique concave shape and is compatible with second- and third-generation iPads. Dye-sublimated pillowcase graphics and aluminum tube framing make the Wave lightweight and easy to assemble. The kiosk weighs in at less than 20 pounds, and tips the scales at 50 pounds when packed into its included hard-sided rolling case.

The Fusion's base can be mounted to Plexiglas, wood, etc. via four screws, and users can easily pivot mounted tablets between portrait and landscape orientation. No-fuss cable integration threads through the mount, allowing the device to be charged while it's in use.

This stylish stand is nearly 49 inches tall and 16 inches wide and weighs in at 40 pounds, lending it a substantial presence. The Aura comes packed with features, including adjustable backlighting, customizable magnetic faceplates for instant graphics changes, and an integrated power box.

This portable counter stands 36 inches high, weighs 15 pounds, and can be set up by one person in less than 15 minutes. It can accommodate myriad Apple tablets, including all generations of iPads, the iPad Mini, and the iPad Air 2.

And when that need arises, the XVline iPad C2 has you covered. The C2 holds two tablets 180 degrees from each other and 44 inches off the ground – perfect viewing height for most attendees. This graceful floor stand can be assembled by a single staffer in less than 20 minutes and comes with its own rolling shipping case.

The Armodilo Original Sphere comes in seven colors ranging from plain-Jane black and white to avocado green, sky blue, and tangerine. Signal-transparent enclosure materials don't inhibit Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities, and the innovative, rounded base hides cables inside the stand for an elegant, clutter-free look. The Sphere can rest on any countertop or be securely mounted via included bolts and wing nuts.

The stand holds two devices in locking clamshell cases and comes with two 8.75-by-12-inch aluminum literature racks that put print collateral directly beneath digital content. Slide a Sintra graphic into the 10.5-by-40-inch space between the tablet columns, and the Mod-1355 becomes an effective branding tool.
