# Elevated Tablet Stands (UPDATE) You'll Need to Sit Down for the IPEVO Perch Sofa Stand By Jennifer Chang | Published 2011-11-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipevo-perch-sofa-stand-for-ipad References: [vimeo](http://vimeo.com/31126432) & [ipevo](http://www.ipevo.com/prods/IPEVO_Perch_Sofa_Side_Stand_for_iPad) The new IPEVO Perch Sofa Stand for [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-hoverbar-tower) comes in small, medium, and large -- which one's right for you? If you're like a lot of people and want to do some surfing, emailing, gaming, or video watching while sitting on your comfy couch in the living room, we recommend the medium model. It's just the right height for sitting and does not need to be perched on a table, unlike the previous version of the IPEVO perch. The flat, "V" shape of the stand's tablet holders allows for maximum user-friendliness as well. The IPEVO Perch Sofa Stand comes in either black or white and is crafted with high-quality materials for sturdiness and durability, including a steel base, a forged aluminum support leg and a heavy-duty plastic and soft silicon holder. Installation and removal is super simple, and you can even [tilt and rotate your iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moft-dynamic-folio) for the best viewing with a gentle twist of your hands. With Perch's great look and great price, [couch computing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pi-lap-desk) has never been more comfortable or convenient. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Elevated Tablet Stands:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop tablet stands with adjustable heights and user-friendly features. - **Couch Computing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create ergonomic accessories that enhance the comfort and convenience of using tablets on the couch. - **Tablet Holder Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials for tablet holders to improve sturdiness, durability, and aesthetics. ### Who This Affects Most - **Furniture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate tablet stands into furniture designs for seamless function and aesthetics. - **Consumer Electronics:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with tablet manufacturers to develop innovative tablet stands that enhance the user experience. - **Home Decor:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with home decor companies to create stylish tablet stands that complement the overall interior design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extra-Tall Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-hoverbar-tower.md) - [Wireless Aluminum Tablet Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magfree-pro.md) - [Elevated Rotating Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-hub.md) - [Dual-Kickstand Interactive Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-folio.md) - [Ergonomic Multi-Position Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartview-organizing-laptop-riser.md) - [Lightweight Aluminum Laptop Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-union-fold.md) - [Collapsible Laptop Holder Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-macbook-stand.md) - [Multi-Purpose Computer Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/computer-stand3.md) - [Angular Tablet Protector Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pitaka-magez-folio-2.md)
