I got this stand a few months ago and I just about never use my iPad Retina without it now. Its greatly exapnded usage of the iPad as I am able to sure it in many different circumstances. And the iPad Retina is so heavy, you really do need a stand if you plan to use it for more than a couple of minutes.
Here's how I've been using the stand:
- In my lap while on the couch.
- Lying in bed.
- On the counter when I'm in the kitchen. I usually put Netflix or Slinbox on while I do some chores.
- On the coffee table when I have twitter up and running during a sports event.
- Just to put it down in a safe way so that it won't fall.
Here it is for sale on Amazon. It has a 4.5 star rating out of 5. I'd give it 5.
