The MonkeyTail is a powerful iPad stand.  When used correctly, it can hold almost any tablet in any position.  The following tips from Octa will help you position your MonkeyTail in places that were previous impossible.

iPad Stand That Works Around the Clock

When using the MonkeyTail as an iPad stand, make sure to coil the tail in a clockwise direction.  The end of the tail should start at the “noon” hour.  Feel free to save the attached graphic on your tablet for reference!  This position also helps when using the MonkeyTail as an iPad stand on your stomach or on a soft surface, like a couch.

iPad Stand With a Center of Gravity

For the most part, your tablet’s weight should be centered over the circular base of your MonkeyTail.  It will serve as the sturdiest iPad stand this way.

iPad Stand With a Spine

The MonkeyTail is sturdy yet flexible.  Inside the MonkeyTail’s spine is a sophisticated, coiled metal spiral.  That spiral provides both strength and rigidity.  By spiraling your stand in the same direction as its internal coil, you’ll get increased strength out of your MonkeyTail.
