Switching to a remote office setup can be both a gift and a curse. It’s great because you get a break from your long commute and can maybe score the occasional extra few minutes of sleep. But it can be frustrating when you don’t have the gear and amenities you typically enjoy in the office. No Thirsty Thursdays, no free cupcakes, and no dual-screen setup.

Having extra screen real estate is integral to your productivity, but hooking up your computer to your TV for a second monitor might only tempt you to binge-watch season 4 of Money Heist (hey, it happens to the best of us). What if instead, you could use your tablet as a second screen? Enter: Mountie+. 

Rated five stars by the folks on Product Hunt, this grip is specially optimized for attaching larger tablet screens to your laptop, making way for a multi-screen experience. It clips your tablet to the side of your computer screen and holds it at only 4mm away to allow for the best balance and full-screen experience possible. It also snaps on rather quickly and accommodates devices measuring 5mm to 9mm thin, meaning you can use it with all iPads, recent tablets, all MacBooks, and every other laptop.

While the Mountie+ was designed for enhanced stability, it also protects your screen from unnecessary pressure. How thoughtful, right? Plus, it features a charging cord pass-through that hides the cable behind the laptop screen so you can charge it up without excess cables going every which way. As MacSources pointed out, “there really isn’t a better mounting solution than the Mountie+.”

Usually retailing for $34.95, you can snag this handy gadget on sale for only $31.99.
