My Daughter Snagged the Studypod

Posted by Lorren on September 4, 2009

With so much bad news in the world, it’s nice when I have something good to write about. One of those things that I have to write about is the Studypod by Genio. I was sent a Studypod last week, and my daughter immediately snagged it. We had to take a quick look at the instructions before she could use it, but she’s been using it every night since.

The Studypod is a book holder. It holds the book upright so that it will be easier to read. It also has arms that will hold the book open. If you’ve ever had to refer to a book while typing information into the computer, you probably could have benefited from a Studypod. The Studypod also keeps you from hunching over to read a book.

The Studypod is officially able to hold books that are 2 1/4″ thick. However, my daughter has been using it to read her children’s Bible at night, which is a little bit thicker than that. Since the Studypod arrived, my daughter has been reading in bed almost every night. Coincidence? You decide. I had to set a time limit to her nighttime reading, because she would continue reading so late that she wouldn’t wake up as early as I would have liked her to.

The Studypod is easy to use, and can be conveniently folded up to be carried around in backpacks. When folded, it is about the same size as a hardback novel. To use the Studypod, open it, swing the arm in the back of the holder to prop it up, lock it open, and then put your book on the Studypod. Use the arms to hold the book open. It takes a couple minutes to figure out, but once you do figure it out, even a seven-year-old can do it.

The Studypod comes in three colors: black, blue, and pink. If you visit their web site, you will notice that they also have a Bookpod that comes in different colors.

The Studypod comes with a little pouch that can hold pens, pencils, and other study supply, but it’s held on with Velcro, and for some reason, when my daughter returned it to me so I could write a review on the product, it wasn’t there. I suppose it is somewhere in my daughter’s room. Older children are probably less likely to lose it, and my daughter probably won’t need it.

If you want to try the Studypod, I have some great news. If you use the code TOSBLOG5 when you order, you can get $5 off. This means that you can get it for $14.95.

My daughter is certainly going to snag it back tomorrow. She loves it!
