This is brilliant. Too bad people are getting scammed. Buyer beware.

Re: Reeeeally Cheap iPad Stand!

A nice classy stand you can get for 5-10 bucks is a plate stand. They're often decorative and come in many different sizes. You can get them at your local crafts store (like Michaels).

Here is a picture of what one looks like:

What a great idea for showing off photos. The wood is a much nicer look.

This is what I got - holds the iPad in portrait or landscape and the biggest advantage - it folds FLAT to slip into a bag and take with you!

Looks very sturdy. I see they're out of stock online...probably all the new iPad owners who don't want to pay the inflated prices for "real" iPad stands!

Re: Reeeeally Cheap iPad Stand!

Has anyone actually tried the office max business card holder thing?

I'm curious how sturdy it is.

I mentioned this elsewhere on the forum, but my cheap stand is a $4.99 book stand I got from buy.com. Free shipping too.

Re: Reeeeally Cheap iPad Stand!

@gekkota - they have them in most stores near the monitors if you go looking. I got 2 for myself.

@dayna - looks cool and like it would work well for this, glad you're enjoying it!

@KarlHungus - most of the business card holders will work fine, but only in landscape mode - there isn't enough support for portrait mode, but for less than a buck, it's a good deal for a temporary measure, for sure.
