We often enjoy having accessories for our geek gadgets and a stand for an iPad or Tablet is one of them.
A stand allows you to elevate and/or position your screen at various angles.
You can hold an iPad in a portrait or landscape view for media watching, or place it on an ergonomic-friendly angle for writing, reading or surfing.
The whole idea behind a stand is that it positions your iPad on an angle so you don't have to hold it. You can then type using an external keyboard and view the screen like a monitor.
Some iPad cases can also function as folding stands.
No Frills
As with most accessories, stands are available in various prices depending upon quality and functionality.
If you want something a little more basic you can make your own.

Just grab some pencils and elastics and make a stand using this simple invention.
