Nature's Choice: 6 Wooden iPad Stands
A new year, a new beginning — refresh your desktop or living room decor and help keep your iPad easily accessible with a fresh iPad stand. Wooden gadgets aren't trendy; they're classy and here to stay. We found these six handmade versions on Etsy which makes them eco and small business friendly!
Protect and Prop Your iPad With the Incase Origami Stand
An iPad case is an iPad case . . . unless it also doubles as a helpful stand. Take for example the Origami Sleeve for iPad ($35) by Incase. The case, which is available in pink or black, features a neoprene exterior and faux-fur-lined interior to keep your device safe. To prop your iPad in either vertical or horizontal orientation, bend it along the folds and secure using the elastic band for an origami-inspired stand. Simple, yet oh-so effective.
Prop Your iPad With the Loop Stand
Simple, sleek, and sophisticated, the Loop iPad Stand ($29) from Griffin is a modern iPad stand that will prop your iPad comfortably at a variety of angles in both portrait and landscape orientation. The stand is weighted with nonslip rubber feet to prevent slipping or tipping over, and is shaped to accommodate your iPad standing straight up or down at a lower angle suitable for typing. Plus, the open design ensures there's plenty of room to plug in your iPad's dock cable.
