I read about the $0.69 iPad Stand a while back but didn’t post about it because I hadn’t tested it. However, if you read the post, Andrew DeVigal says:
Bought a wireless keyboard today to eventually replace the iPad Keyboard Dock I ordered online with my iPad. One really should try out a product before buying peripherals. But what I was really looking for was a stand that kept my iPad upright in either landscape or portrait. Neither the Keyboard Dock nor the iDock does this… granted, those do charge the iPad while docked. And I saw Griffin’s A-Frame: Tabletop Stand for iPad in stock at the Apple Store. But at $49… it’s ridiculously expensive.
Then I went to Office Depot and found this: Business Card Holder for $0.69.
I dropped by Office Depot today and found the exact holder he’s talking about. It was $1.29 for me, but it works! It’s not quite as steady as I’d like when the iPad is placed vertically, but horizontally it’s plenty stable for my uses. I’ll probably only use it vertically when I’m using something like Air Display but, even then, horizontal makes more sense.
So yeah, an iPad stand for less than $2.00.
