SPECK GRABTAB ACCESSORY FOR SMARTPHONES

THE modern day smartphone is a truly marvellous piece of technology, as it not only functions as our go-to communications device, it also doubles as a portable media player to be a digital babysitter whenever you are occupied, and to keep you entertained when commuting.

All of these are wonderful, and it takes a well thought up accessory to make your life easier. After all, most of the newer smartphone models come with a slim anodised aluminum chassis that is beautiful to look at but easy to slip out of your hands due to the sheer smoothness of the material.

Enter the GrabTab accessory from Speck. This super-slim grip assist accessory has been specially designed to offer a secure hold on devices regardless of their size, without impeding any functions of the handset. The GrabTab’s comfortable holding loop boasts of dual functionality, as it doubles up as a convenient smartphone stand for on-the-go entertainment as well.

This is the very first accessory of its kind from Speck,a company that is far more famous for its collection of slim and protective phone cases. Most of the ring tabs add additional bulk onto your smartphone, which in turn makes it difficult to pull the handset in and out of a pocket or other small spaces. Not only that, if your smartphone supports wireless charging, such an accessory would impede this capability.

GrabTab gets rid of both challenges, being credit card-sized while measuring a mere 3mm thin, helping maintain the sleek body of today’s modern devices while being fully compatible with wireless charging. Installing the GrabTab is a snap: Just adhere it firmly to the back of the phone case, as you slide up the flexible strip manually to lock it into place. This creates a finger-sized loop which is not only comfortable but easy to grip.

With such a universal design, it will be compatible with a majority of the smartphone cases and devices in the market. The GrabTab is priced at US$9.95 each.
