Using a Plate Stand with your iPad
Yes, I know, another bloody iPad post. Sorry, but it’s here, it’s magical, etc. and I have to get it out of my system. So, I’ve seen people using a few different things to prop up their iPads for hands-free iPaddage, but the best I’ve found is a £2.50 plate stand from the local arts and crafts store.
It looks like this without the expensive bit on it.

I'm trying to think of an interesting caption, but it's a plate stand.
And when you buy it, it looks like this.

Again … plate stand.
You can buy them from platestands.co.uk … no, really, that’s what they’re called. I know. Down at the bottom of that page, see the Large size? Buy them in bulk; sell them to your friends, you cheapskate.

Are platestands.co.uk next door to Spatula City?
Seriously though nice little improvisation. I wish I’d thought of trying a plate stand for my PDA after the stand that came with the really nice bluetooth keyboard I had for it broke.
