There are so many various stands hitting the market for the iPad, but I have to say that one of my favorite so far has to be the Just Mobile 'UpStand.' Making it into a mini monitor, as Gizmodo so cleverly observes, there is a sleek charm about it.
Made out of basic aluminum, the Just Mobile 'UpStand' supports the iPad in both portrait and landscape positions. It is also height adjustable, perfect for encouraging an ergonomic seating arrangement. Sold for $45, it is currently only available via pre-orders.
