    I'd like to get one. I was looking around apple's site, and I see a few that I like, like the Just Mobile XStand Pro. I don't like the look of the Griffin Elevator though, as it doesn't have anything to hold the macbook in place, and it could just slide off. :eek:
    Any suggestions? :)

    The mStand is a very nice stand, and I've heard many and great reviews about it. You shouldn't be disappointed with it. ;) The one you are looking at looks like the mStand, but with a pole instead of the legs like the mStand. It should be nice too. ;)

    logitech also has an incline stand that is fine too...

    but the stand that allows you to tuck in keyboard seems to be a good alternative as well.

    I have a Just Mobile Xtand Pro. It's very nice, the main benefit being the fact it is height adjustable, so I can change it depending upon which desk I am working at.

    That sounds and looks like a really decent stand. ;) I like it's ability to adjust the height, as that would make it easier to fit under the hood on my desk.. :p
