69 Cents iPad Stand Of Awesomeness – It’s Awesome!

cat-ipad-stand In our quest to find the perfect yet inexpensive iPad stand, last week we presented a number of options … LEGOs, a book stand, Tinkertoys or even the family pet are decent replacements for that sack of suck Apple sells as their official iPad dock ($30 for a dock that doesn’t support landscape mode … ha! ha!). Sans family pet, the aforementioned iPad stands run in the neighborhood of $6 to $10 … not too hard on the wallet, thank you very much.

But even better news today … we one-upped the $6 to $10 price range to the cool tune of 
69 cents! < SHUT UP … GET THE F OUT > Seriously … for less than a buck, you can get a lightweight, portable iPad stand that has more functionality than Apple’s krapp since this 69 cents stand supports both vertical AND horizontal orientation.

So what is this 69 cents magical device? A simple business card holder from Office Depot, discovered by New York Times’ Multimedia Editor Andrew Devigal. Nice work dude … we love it … gives us more coin for KRAPPS purchases.

Oh … and for those about to diss the 69 cents iPad stand of awesomeness for not having the ability to charge the iPad while docked … deal with it – it’s SIXTY NINE FREAKING CENTS!

  • you forgot to mention it works for the iPod and iPhone too. this thing is really cheap.

  • Our bad … and you are totally right … it's a multi-iDevice solution …
    even better!

    It can totally charge the pad! Put it on the stand, plug in the cable. Boom, charging. AND unlike the Apple stand it'll charge in both orientations!

  • Agreed … the charging argument is freaking weak, but we had to address it
    as there's always some blow hard who would have brought it up 🙂

  • phearlez

    And today I am that blowhard!

    Mom would be so proud…

  • LMAO!!

  • jennifer mathis

    I'm in love. Just today I was using a beanbag to prop it up with mixed success. This looks perfect with a even more perfect price. :>

  • nice! now just be careful on an airplane during turbulence … but other
    than that, you should be good to go 🙂

  • Bill

    i tried to buy this from office depot, the shipping is over 11 dollars. they do not sell it at the store where i live, you can only get it delivered

  • argh! that's nuts! it's a standard item so not really sure why your local
    office depot would not carry it … perhaps a manager could help place an
    order for you?
