Great looking IPAD stand by Twelve South

[Blackbelt]

This is a great IPAD stand that I am using,

Great looking? I like the Compass myself and find the design clever (I first heard about them here), but it's no aesthetic beauty. At home, I use one of those wooden slot thingies, which are quite nice.

I have one, and it is not very stable in either position.

In a flat surface it is very stable.

Not really, if you put any weight on either of the top corners it still topples over. This could have been a really good stand with a few minor adjustments.

Ok, I officially hate this thing. Just spent an hour trying to type on it and nothing but frustration. I know I've already said it above, but really, avoid it.

Does it look cool? yes
Is it well Built? kinda
Does it work? No

It just topples over regardless of what position you stand it in. Landscape, portrait, vertical, horizontal....all topple over. I do not even type hard, and just the pressure required to push the one and only button on the device is enough to topple the thing over.

Bad design. Needs a wider leg span, and pegs that actually hold the unit in place instead of something just to rest it on.

Good for Digital Picture frame. Bad for everything else.



It's a bad design.

Hm, I have one of those and I kind of like it.

Check out this new iPad stand with a flexible gooseneck arm: SnakeClamp Products : Hold What You Need, Where You Need It

Ummm, nope. Too big and hideous.

I have had the exact opposite experience from what you've described - it is a stable typing platform and ergonomically angled just right (for me, anyway.) I have not once had the iPad tipping over on any of the corners, including pushing the home button.

That is prettty nifty.

can you put this in a lower position without it tipping over from the weight of the ipad so you don't have to reach up so high to type and if you can put it in a lower position is the flexible arm strong enough to support the iPad without it drooping??

I picked one of these up a couple of weeks ago. I needed something for school that would hold my iPad in the landscape position, almost vertical. I then use the Apple Bluetooth keyboard for typing.

My big motivator was the fact that it folds up into a small foot print. The stand works great. I have not issues using it in this configuration.

I would buy another one, that is if this thing ever needs replacing.

Great product, killer styling, and sells at a fair price.

I was looking for a stand and just found this thread... I ended up ordering a SnakeClamp... Worth checking out and great customer service.

My two cents...
