Your favourite position in bed....

[cbrandsk]

Lay on your side, with it near your face....

Sat up, holding it in your lap....

At the end of the bed on something....

Seriously though, I've never had an IPad before and have a great free BBC service called iPlayer, brilliant content and bedtime fodder... But on my side the orientation is wrong. Sat up I have to hold it up. At the end of the bed the screen is too far away.

Whats your favourite position and workarounds?

I like laying on my back with the ipad laying on my stomach most of the time.
Or sometimes when I'm laying flat on my stomach facing the ipad propped up.
And other times I'm sitting upright with it propped up on a pillow.

Ive been mostly sitting up on my pillows, with legs bent to lean it against.. but gets somewhat smothered by quilt and my legs want to go stright after 10 mins.

I think this problem needs a genuine solution

I have a really neat little portable folding stand that works well on most reasonably level surfaces and it's totally adjustable. So, for any extended periods, I just lay on my back, prop up my upper back/head and put the stand on my chest. Works pretty nicely. I also have a nice big "lap desk" (wood top with a beanbag under it that's good for typing, writing, etc. I can sit up with.

My cats always show up to be the best iPadrests ever, no matter if I'm on my side or on my back...

You said it! I have a few cats that don't mind improvising for me, as well.

It depends upon what I am doing. If I am just reading or surfing the web, I usually be on my side, with one hand holding the iPad and the other fir moving pages, etc. For any sustained typing, I will usually sit in my bed with the iPad on top of a sheet or blanket on my lap.

Same here, it also depends on what I am doing. When surfing the net and reading, I would be on my side with my iPad next to me, though when it gets uncomfortable, I'd lie on my back with the iPad on my stomach. When I'm typing, I would sit cross-legged with my iPad on my lap.

But for some reason, I don't like using my iPad in bed that much. I get too restless and start to fidget, it gets too uncomfortable, and sometimes I end up falling asleep while using it. I much rather do stuff at my desk and leave beds for sleeping in.

I like to be on my back with it on top close to my face.

I bought this neat but strange looking holder/stand last Fall called a Propup. My Ipad1 with Apple case just "pushes" into it--and out. It allows me to sit here without holding it, in my lap, and typing easily. BUT best of all for reading in bed it sits at the right angle regardless of position---- on my stomach with it in front of me, on my side with it at an angle, on my back with it on my stomach. I bought it for reading in bed (its soft, light foam) but use it every day for typing,
