Conceived by Gizmodo reader Ali, the DIY iPad mount is easy and cheap to assemble as well. With just a "[cheap TV mount](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-wall-mount), an [iPad case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esr-flip), [and] some epoxy glue," according to Gizmodo, you have the DIY iPad mount completed and in working order. I particularly like how Rosa Golijan suggests that it can be used as a digital photo frame holder when not in use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **DIY Tablet Mounts:** Opportunity for individuals to create their own affordable tablet mounts for various uses. - **Comfortable Tablet Usage:** Demand for tablet mounts that provide comfortable and ergonomic usage, even in bed. - **Multi-functional Tablet Accessories:** Growing interest in tablet mounts that can be utilized for multiple purposes, such as holding digital photo frames. ### Who This Affects Most - **Consumer Electronics:** Manufacturers can explore innovative tablet mount designs to meet the demand for comfortable tablet usage. - **Home Accessories:** Opportunity for companies to create stylish and functional tablet mounts for home use. - **Photography:** Companies can develop tablet mounts that double as digital photo frame holders, targeting photography enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Tablet-Transforming Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elago-magnetic-stand-for-ipad.md) - [Mountable Handsfree Tablet Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halo-for-ipad.md) - [Wireless Aluminum Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magfree-pro.md) - [Sleek Tablet Case Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryze-360.md) - [Mini Desk Technology Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elgato-mini-mount.md) - [Adaptable Professional Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-tablet-stand.md) - [Angular Tablet Protector Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaka-magez-folio-2.md) - [Timber Clamp-Equipped Smartphone Mounts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-desk-shelf-mount.md) - [Multi-Fold Tablet Stand Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mageasy-lift.md)
