iMacPad

Step 5 Refit the base. (optional, but recommended)

This step is mainly optional, but I felt I wanted to redo the stand, as it felt a bit scratchy when sliding it around. The leather also gives it alot more grip, which considering the lighter nature of the iPad makes it a lot easier to use in the stand.

1. Firstly remove the existing plastic foot, it is held one with a few sections of tape, a thing knife under the edge will let you remove it.
2. Place the removed plastic onto a section of fairly thick leather (about 4mm), using a knife carefully trace around the plastic, try to keep one hand on the plastic at all time, so it does not move.
3. Once you have the leather section use 5 dabs of hot glue gun in the same places the original tape was. Be quick, as the metal cools the glue very quickly!

For this step you could use four small sections of scrap leather, opposed to the full horse shoe shape.
