Here’s The Most Minimal iPad Stand

We covered some interesting iPad stands in the past. I personally think the Compass is the best one, but I still have to actually try one. As for the iPhone, I just got my Just Mobile Xtand and I’m looking forward to trying it later today. Here comes a new kid on the block though, and he plays the minimalism card: the PadFoot aims at becoming the simplest and most elegant iPad stand you could ever have.

The PadFoot, produced by Michiel Cornelissen, is a single piece of printed polyamide that wieghs 15 grams. It comes in 5 different colors: white, black, magenta, green and blue. That’s it. Oh yeah, it costs $25.

The official website says:

“Great for viewing photos and clips in the upright position; or slide PadFoot under your iPad for an improved typing and interaction angle. PadFoot can be used in both portrait and landscape mode; iPad can be charged in landscape mode.”

I don’t know about its grip or actual quality, but man - the black one looks good. I’d like to try one. [via Gizmodo]
