 Great & Simple Stand for iPad! Aug 03, 2010
By L. Taylor
When I purchased my iPad, I knew I would want a stand for it. I had looked at several stands, but the stand I most wanted was not actually available on the market as far as I could tell. I wanted something small enough to fit nicely on my desk, but something that would also be sturdy and look nice. When I saw the Elago P2 Stand, I figured I'd give it a shot, and I'll say it has more than met my expectations. Placing the iPad in the stand and removing it is extremely easy. Yet, while it is in the stand, it is very secure. Certainly you could knock it out or over, but you'd have to be pretty clumsy or just careless to do that. Using the touch screen with it in the stand is simple and there is no sliding or wobbling. It fits nicely both ways as well, and there is no balance issue whatsoever. Also, the power/computer cord fits in easily and causes no fitting problems. And it is a very low profile stand as well, which fits in very well with a product like the iPad. Anyway, safe to say, if you are looking for a good stand at a decent price, look no further. This stand has worked perfectly for me and I highly recommend it!

Excelent!!!!! Sep 23, 2010
By Beringela001
I usually don't do review of products because they usually come close or equal to my expectations.
This product on the other hand surpass it in every aspect of its simplicity.
Note that this will sturdily support your iPad and without the need to remove the case (I use the original Apple case)
I tried the compass, and many other stands that were up to 3 times the price of the elago.
Nothing compares to it.
The best hands down.

Perfect stand for the price Nov 11, 2010

This is about the perfect iPad stand for the price. Sure for $60-$100 you can get a larger, heavier iPad stand , but for $30 you can't go wrong with the Elago P2. It is stable, well built, and nice looking in a minimalist sort of way. There's enough clearance under it to slide an Apple bluetooth keyboard while not in use (a huge plus for me). It is also stable enough in both portrait and landscape orientation so that you can press the home button without knocking it over (surprisingly something that not all stands can do). It is also possible to charge your iPad in both orientations but you can't charge in portrait with a keyboard underneath (the cable sticks out too far). Not a big deal though because I use mine 90% of the time in landscape. Also you can't adjust the viewing angle, but the angle it has is just fine. I would definitely recommend this stand.

Excellent Stand for Vertical and Horizontal Viewing Aug 26, 2010
By Amazonian Consumer
This is a very well-made aluminum stand for the iPad.
I use a Speck Products CandyShell Case for Apple iPad (Batwing Black, IPAD-CNDY-A02A03) to protect the iPad. It does add some needed thickness to the iPad for protection, but it fits PERFECTLY on this elago P2 Stand, as if the stand was designed with this case in mind. You can even bend the rubber-hinged "flap door" on the back of the case about 180 degrees so that the iPad can be charged while on the stand. As a result of this clever design, I never have to remove the case.
When you take the iPad off the stand, especially when you still have the 30-pin data/charging USB cable attached to it, lift it slowly and vertically to avoid possibly scratching the iPad, as we are talking very close spaces here (Look at Customer Images to see what I mean).
I highly recommend this combination if you want to protect your iPad and at the same time enjoy maximum convenience and versatility. Both the Speck Candyshell case and the elago P2 Stand are aesthetically pleasing. They are made for each other.
By the way, if you are considering buying a screen protector for the iPad, I don't recommend it. The iPad is much larger than an iPod Touch or iPhone; it is next to impossible to install this thin piece of transparent film onto iPad without bubbles. I tried doing so for 90 minutes and finally gave up. I heard that the glass surface on the iPad is very scratch-resistant, so I will do without a screen protector.

 Good Stand for Desktop Mar 18, 2011
By R. B. Currier
I use this stand on my desk to keep the iPad behind my Mac keyboard when developing iPad apps. It works great for that. I find the height of the iPad in the stand is just right for accessing the iPad and not having it blocked by my keyboard (an old-school mechanical switch unit).
I did find that the rubber pads on the bottom of the stand didn't grip my desk's slightly textured surface very well, so the stand could slide when using the iPad. I added some additional eGrip material to keep the stand from sliding. I took one star off my rating because of this.
Also, because there are lips on the bottom of the stand to hold the iPad in position, it doesn't work very well if your iPad is mounted in a Dodo Case, which is too thick.
