Review: I love this product so much! I received it as a gift and also have been gifting them. I love reading in many different positions so this comes in so handy! It's sturdy and soft and holds the pages for you. It's easy to turn pages and houses your open book for you if needed. Perfect for traveling. It's definitely a must for any readers in your life. The color selection is great and delivered on time. I would recommend.
Review: We were skeptical but these are awesome (we bought two). I had a lot of questions about it before purchasing, so in this review I try to cover those for you. We have the blue and the purple. The light blue one is similar in color to a light-wash pair of blue jeans. The purple is similar in color to a medium to dark amethyst gemstone. The bottom and back are almost one piece the way the item is filled with beads. It is very lightweight. It is comfortable in your lap in any position. I was surprised that they really do stay in place while you are reading, even for several hours, regardless of how you sit or lie down. They conform to your position and easily readjust if you squirm. If you do not support the back of this it still remains upright as placed. Fatigue is greatly reduced in prolonged reading. The books I used for this were medium to large heavy leather-bound books. This would indicate most of what you would find in a chain bookstore would work well with these. The standard American high school textbooks (in my opinion are extra-large) do fit on the 'seat' but the balance is thrown off. I would not recommend this for extra-large books (but a larger version of this particular item would probably be ideal). In addition to the beads there are three stiff pieces of what appears to be plastic sewn into the front. The method of sewing keeps the plastic in place creating the perfect concave place for a traditional book. They are what keep the depression perfect for the book. I wet mine a bit to see if it was cardboard or paper underneath but it did not get soft, hence the belief it is plastic. The piece of material on the top is a loop to hang it up should you choose to keep it away from your cat ;). The loop is sturdy. The pocket in the back is perfect for a pair of reading glasses. It has a velcro closure. A pair of curved sports sunglasses I have do not fit in that pocket, nor would most modern cell phones. I do not care for using a tablet or iPad with this item. The fit and the balance with flat electronics is poor. The elastic and the button holding an acrylic strip at the bottom is of good quality and easily adjusted. Even with arthritis the button is not too difficult to reposition. Tightening the acrylic strip is what locks in the book and keeps the balance I referred to. The mechanism is quite secure. Overall, excellent design and good quality.

*by V***N on 4 April 2024*

This product is perfect for reading in bed, chair, couch.... The clear "page holder" is the best! Because it's clear you can keep reading the full page. And the page holder is adjustable so no matter what your book thickness is, it will hold it open! The size is perfect too....I didn't want a big table type because they're hard to store. This is the perfect size & lightweight! I bought the purple one and it's pretty much the exact color that is shown in the pics. The only con is the back pocket is too small, but I don't really care about that too much.
