That said, some people prefer to stick to the slightly large screens of their smartphones rather than carry a separate device, but that kind of digital reading experience brings its fair share of discomfort. Even disregarding eye strain, reading for long periods on a smartphone means potentially blocking part of the screen or giving your hand cramps in the long run. This iPhone accessory offers a solution that tries to make reading on a phone slightly more comfortable, even if it only addresses one very specific problem.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/astropad.com\/product\/bookcase\/\">Astropad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-03.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-516308\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/24\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Astropad Bookcase turns iPhones into slightly more ergonomic e-Readers\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-516309\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/24\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Astropad Bookcase turns iPhones into slightly more ergonomic e-Readers\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-01.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-516309\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/24\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Astropad Bookcase turns iPhones into slightly more ergonomic e-Readers\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"490575e3617b703b3ca1833b-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"490575e3617b703b3ca1833b-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While smartphones and tablets are banishing bezels, e-Readers are insistent on keeping them around.

A MagSafe-compatible phone attaches to the middle of the tray-like accessory when you want to read, giving your hands something stable to grasp. And when you\u2019re done, you simply detach the phone, put away the Bookcase, and be on your merry way. The accessory is made with lightweight polycarbonate that makes it feel like you\u2019re adding nothing to the smartphone, and it uses vegan leather to add a bit of style and elegance to the design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-04.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-516311\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/24\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Astropad Bookcase turns iPhones into slightly more ergonomic e-Readers\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-04.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-04.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-516311\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/24\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Astropad Bookcase turns iPhones into slightly more ergonomic e-Readers\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/astropad-bookcase-turns-iphones-into-slightly-more-ergonomic-e-readers\/astropad-bookcase-04.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"490575e3617b703b3ca1833b-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"490575e3617b703b3ca1833b-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Astropad Bookcase has a few gimmicks that make the e-Reading experience a bit smoother.
