iPad Stand from Shelf-track Material

This iPad stand is made from standard shelf-track material. The adjustable stand can hold an iPad, Kindle, or other eReader in either the portrait or landscape modes. It has a nice retro, industrial look, which counter-balances the high tech look of the iPad. The stand doesn't interfere with your typing fingers and there is room for operating with the power cord attached.
