I want to congratulate the author on one of the most easily understandable instructables I have ever read. All steps covered simply and clearly. My 1 eyed dog could build one with instructions like these

Shouldn't this step have elastic in instead of velcro?

Amazing design dispite the word swap error!! ;)

Looks great, although I hate corner holders for almost everything.

Good job though, never thought of duct tape and ipad coming together.

Is the poster board flimsy? It seems like it would be a little too weak, but there is duct tape also..

If you look at commercially available iPad cases corner mounts are fairly common. I do agree however they're not the most elegant solution. As far as sturdiness is concerned I wouldn't call it flimsy more like flexible. Which is what I was going for so the cover could easily wrap behind out of the way for book style reading.
