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.
Love this! Thanks :)

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.
