The $0.69 iPad Stand
Andrew Devigal (multimedia editor at New York Times) has found an affordable iPad stand solution: An Office Depot Business Card holder. $0.69 a piece. Wheee!
I just got the Fellowes study stand and it feels like it’s built for the iPad, for only $4.99 (w/ free shipping). It’s intended for holding up books/magazines for old school research paper writing. It also folds up, so it’s perfect for traveling.
Bought one today, and it’s great for casual usage in landscape mode, but I wouldn’t trust it to remain steady in portrait. If you were entertaining the notion of using one of these on an airplane, you can forget about it.
Swissmiss is an online garden Tina Roth Eisenberg started in 2005 and has lovingly tended to ever since.
Besides swissmiss, Tina founded and runs TeuxDeux, CreativeMornings and her Brooklyn based co-working community Friends Work Here. (She also started Tattly which was recently adopted by BIC)

Love it when a product gets reinvented for new purpose. Innovation at its finest ;).

Innovation @ it’s finest would have been if apple papple would have thouht of it rightaway.

Affordable iPad stand? It is ironic that the stand for a $500+ luxury device is affordable!
Good find though, it looks surprisingly good!

Oh great, now those business card holders will jump to $75+ just like anything else Apple touches.

Still holding out for a really great in-bed movie watching stand. Maybe I’ll design one!
Love the post.
