The Apple iPad may be one of the more popular tablet devices available on the market today but because of the brand name, its features and access to an Apple App, it does come with a premium price.
If you decide to go with a third party stand to prop up you’re iPad, you are looking at upwards of $100 or more. There’s nothing wrong with saving a few dollars and that’s what Andrew Devigal, a Multimedia Editor with the New York Times has done with his rather creative solution. Devigal’s iPad stand cost him $0.69 US and it is just a business card holder that he purchased from Office Depot.
Devigal claims that the versatility offered by his stand greatly exceeds that which is offered by Apple’s own Keyboard Dock. Unlike the Apple dock that can prop an iPad in portrait view, Devigal’s stand supports both portrait and landscape mode. Obviously the business card holder does have some limitations, one of them being that it that it can’t recharge your iPad, but how can you go wrong with a $0.69 plastic stand?
