Gadget George gives her tablet a great big hug and reviews the Coz-e-reader

Pick your fav’colour, grab a Coz-e-reader 
and make a date with your new bestie
Hello again, it’s Gadget George and time for me to review another top gadget from Handy Ideas.

Now, I’m kinda laid back, so I thought I'd chill-out with my tablet a while and try out the new Coz-e-reader Tablet Cushion 

I use an iPad, mostly for browsing and snuggled up watching the movies, so being all cosy with my tablet is a pretty appealing feature of this new gizmo.

First, pick a Coz-e-reader from the big range of colours. They all look pretty snazzy, but the cool black and red was more “Gadget George” so I went for that. It feels really cushiony and there’s a slot on the front to slip the long side of the tablet into.  The Coz-e-reader holds it nice and tight which is good. The tablet then gently reclines to a comfortable 45 degrees, maybe a bit more, which makes it look pretty chilled itself resting on its cosy cushion.  The bottom of the cushion is flat so I found it sat easily on my lap, both sitting and lying back.  In fact, I’d say it performed best the more cosy the pose.

Another great feature is that you can get at the buttons on the sides of the tablet while you’re using it. Other tablet holders I’ve seen pop the gadget into a recess, which makes the controls hard to get at, so that’s another plus point for my cosy friend.

Comparing it to using my iPad without the Coz-e-reader, it left me with a really steady screen and both hands free. Perfect...  
I love the Coz-e-reader and would go so far to say that from now on, whether I’m chatting online, tucked up watching catch-up TV, or just browsing around on the web, I’ll definately be using my new tablet cushion. 

See you next time. George.

Oh, by the way, if you’re a Kindle or, e-reader fan, there’s also a smaller Coz-e-reader cushion for you too!  Wow, these guys think of everything...
