The Perfect Companion Piece For Your iPad • 10.25.18

[@michaeljohnson9916]

Stephen, remember how passionate you were about the collapsible green screen you bought several months back - so passionate that you devoted a whole vlog post (a longer one, in fact) to it? That's how passionate Mal is here. Adding my two cents here since you seemed a little confused during the vlog.

[@cripplepickle87]

Yeah and its actually applicable to us as well, i think it would be cool to have for my Switch attaching it to my head board of my bed so i can play in bed like how Mal said. Being able to use the pro controller without having to hold the switch in bed would be nice.

[@stephenvlog]

Honestly... you're right! And that's a really good parallel, too.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I use an iPad for sheet music all the time... this would be extremely helpful. Thanks for the tip!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

@Oliver Tomlinson If you print a lot of music for yourself, a tablet is super nice. It's an easy workflow when people send you PDF's, just slap em on the tablet! (Not literally lol)

[@relsre]

@@insaneintherainmusic do you have a particular app you use for annotations/marking on sheet music? I do that a lot when learning pieces. Also, is it easy to see sheet music on a tablet when playing? Seems like it would be awkward sometimes, since most tablets are a bit smaller than Letter/A4.

[@noahkaser6347]

It was werid to wake up without morning mario

[@lumose3149]

Ya, same...

[@monkeythief5]

Mal was so excited for it! Like a kid in a candy store. 😂

[@andrewhayden9896]

that does look pretty useful for switch tbh

[@forsionc23]

Lol you seem confused as to why she would want to talk about it on the vlog but it doesn't appear that you had any other ideas to put in today's vlog so really Mal did you a solid. Be grateful for the content i'd say.

[@josephboehmer1245]

Go Pack Go.

[@Bluekittycatt]

I'm a nurse, and I work with patients with spinal cord injuries. A lot of them have similar equipments to be able to use the internet, watch movies and such. It's a really useful thing, I'm glad you found something that fulfills your needs this well, Mal :D

[@TheOtakuArtist]

I'd love to see more vlogs where Mal talks about stuff like this!

[@baka_yu9343]

Honestly, that should work for things like a Kindle as well if you want to read in bed but your arms get tired holding it up or something. And it seems to support enough weight, that's good!

[@XDsymphony]

Woah I'm in the niche market of a person with an iPad that paints on a easel :o maybe I shall look into this device, though I probably wouldn't use it too much.

[@romajimamulo]

My can't live without accessories are my Bluetooth headset, my external battery (to keep my phone charged, and to have someone to recharge without having to be tethered to an outlet) and recently, my phone popstock (very useful for recording for my vlog without getting fingers in the way of either lens)

[@eeveecurry]

Heck, this looks like it'd be REALLY useful! I'm an artist who has wrist and back problems, and having something that meant I didn't need to constantly hunch over to use devices would be fantastic! I'll have to look in to this~! Thank you for the heads-up, Mal!!!

[@LalalaKirby]

Accessory I can't live without? Art glove. I use my iPad to draw rather than for references, and it keeps the screen from getting grubby. But for a Switch, that sounds handy! By the way, here's the link to the UK Amazon if it helps any internationals out there! smile.amazon.co.uk/Tryone-Gooseneck-Nintendo-Samsung-Overall/dp/B01EMMKI4O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541502347&sr=8-3&keywords=tablet+mount+holder

[@flanysong6872]

My dad had the same thing and broke it in his sleep lol. He also has a smaller and kinda similar one in his car to hold his phone

[@Thoomas2001]

Well dang these vlogs remind me that I missed Extra Life. Kinda forgot about it.

[@starman9458]

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 128 GB, I use Procreate for painting and Garage Band for music recording

[@MommaCavy]

I could actually use that for my iPad now that I've started using it like a second computer and started writing on it. Thanks guys!

[@stormyandsnowy]

FINALLY, MalVlog returns!

[@romajimamulo]

This seems like a product I would buy and then try to find a way to use it because it's so cool

[@wanderinggstars]

For the longest time i used this little plastic stand that came with the wii u to hold my phone while i watch youtube, and then i finally got a phone case that props up in landscape mode

[@JoeyTheKid101]

Woah, that's really useful! I might buy it actually

[@shockandlock3799]

I actually have something like that! I sleep in an old bunk bed on the bottom, so I clip it to the bottom of the top bunk so I can watch stuff hands free

[@blackfox51]

Question for Mal! Is that a regular iPad? Or the first iPad Pro? I’m looking into getting an iPad for creative projects, so I wanted to see how it works for you, even if it’s a reference point during painting

[@MalMakes]

blackfox51 it’s a regular one but it supports the apple pencil which was something I wanted

[@relsre]

That's pretty neat way to use a tablet clamp! Honestly, I'd like to get something similar for my phone, so I can read better in bed. (...well, I sleep late already, so that might not be such a good thing :P ) _What's one accessory for your iPad/Switch/gadget that you can't live without?_ ...wouldn't go as far as to say I can't live without it, but I've been using a Samsung microSD card reader for a while -- the catch is that it looks like a small USB drive, and has _both_ USB and micro-USB out, so I can use it on my phone and on PCs, it's very handy for someone who works with tech on-the-go a lot! I carry it around in my wallet, along with a small ziplock bag of extra microSDs that I use for different scenarios (work/personal stuff/etc.). I wish I could find a product page but I forgot the model. It came with a Samsung 32GB SDXC microSD (U1 speed), and looks almost like the Samsung MUF-32CB/AM (imagine it with a silver cover instead of black).

[@TheLetsPlayBaseballCurse]

That may be really useful for me too. I sleep on the lower bunk in my dorm room, and the TV angles upward, making it harder to see. Making it hands-free would be great.

[@Spiritet93]

I am all but sure I can't live without my phone stand. I have a portable phone stand where I can use my phone without holding it, and the angle is adjustable, too! But it blocks the charger hole, so whenever I need to charge my phone, I can use my non-adjustable phone stand, where the holder has a hole in the middle where I could charge. Problem is, whenever I need to use it, it's slanted to the point I need to elevate the phone stand so it would sit up straight, but it bring forth the risk of having my phone fall to the floor. I searched for MONTHS, and found out just a month ago that a Nintendo Switch stand is perfect for my phone! It's adjustable, and it has a hole on the stand where you can have your phone plugged to the charger. What made it better is the fact the Nintendo Switch adjustable stand it Breath of the Wild themed

[@chopsmccartney6786]

Eeeeeyyyy, it's Green Baaaaayyyyyy!

[@ChrisKoraltan]

my friend has one of those holders he's uses it to look at sheet music when he's playing Bass so he doesn't waste paper, i was just as excited as Mal is

[@soschadao]

musicians can use these

[@justcamden]

I have the same gadget except in white (same brand and everything). I can definitely recommend it; I’ve used it for both an iPad and an iPhone X. I intended to use it with my Switch too but haven’t tried that yet. It’s really sturdy and I haven’t had any problems with it.

[@TheRollsen]

Yay More vlogs

[@Mizmatch89]

I think I will pick one up! Thanks for the recommendation. I love new art stuff!

[@Waluigi10K]

Is Mal a Packers fan?

[@koriankimchi]

I have one of those too! I was in a bunk bed for my last couple years in college and it was super handy to have my Switch held by it so I could play games in bed super comfily

[@benhorgan6510]

I'm so glad your a Packers fan! GoPackGo!

[@James14OO]

Unfortunately mal is because she's from Wisconsin. ...Skol Viks! (From the UK)

[@rarm5899]

It does seem super useful for playing on my Switch, much better than the wimpy stand it already has in it.

[@ianthesilverfire5224]

Add to cart

[@lunarpurl]

Wow this looks really useful! I know I can use it in at least two different rooms, maybe even three.

[@B0redTurtle]

Ive got a version for my phone and I love it as well. It's so handy being able to attach to pretty much anything

[@meowth900]

does otterbox count as an accessory?

[@kitniasooh6035]

add it to your amazon shop too

[@krizeros]

Funny enough I’m saving up for a new ipad

[@Em-yd3sn]

krizeros and funny enough you are the first to comment :D

[@sajanpatel4956]

Which one, if I’m not intrusive?

[@krizeros]

The new one they just announced, the new ipad pro

[@sajanpatel4956]

krizeros That’s cool, It looks like a real improvement over other iPads, and it’s pretty powerful.
