A) Don't feel like giving APRs more of your hard earned money for a stupid overpriced iPad stand?
B) Really need a simple stand for your iPad but disappointed smartcover don't let us stand our ipad vertically in a comfortable position?
C) Want a stand like, right NOW when you're in your room?

Then you need this! Thanks to the internet I've found the answer!

Looks good from the front, no? Red and white is an elegant colour combination.

It's simply genius. You just need something from your closet.This is the secret:

Nice share slickz hehe...I think it'd be really cool to DIY an iPad stand rather than buy a ridiculously overpriced one. There are a lot more DIY projects for this if you google or youtube for it but this is really dirt cheap thumbup.gif

Nice idea, but having a stand like that on your iPad is like using food wrapper as your screen protector.

I find that stand makes typing super hard and slow. I happened to bought a cooler master 10" notebook cooler which was going for a clearance price of RM10. Fit iPad just nicely when I rotate it.

I use my Zalman N1000 for leaning my iPad vertically and horizontally, lol. Agreed that typing are much easier like that rather then stand.

Improved version, prefer this method as look at the final picture, hands can be easily fit at the best position for both touchscreen joystick.
