stylish tablet stand (cheap)

I wanted a cheap tablet stand that didn't look clunky, chunky or obtrusive on my desk. This is what I came up with in about 15 minutes with a chunk of 3" pvc.
I hope you like it enough to copy it.

Step 1 No pictures of work in progess

I did not take pictures of the work in progress.
All I did was cut a 1.5" ring of pvc off the section, mark the lines and cut with a coping saw. 
I filed the rough edges and sanded everything smooth.
I painted it gloss black to match the tablet face and finished with clear coat.

UPDATE
I wanted to keep the stand from sliding on my desk, but couldn't think of a great solution until I wandered around my workshop and was struck by inspiration.
I smeared a very thin layer of clear silicone caulk around the base, let it dry, and voila! A simple, non-skid base.

This is one of the best tablet. The tablet, will run on Google's Android platform, with WiFi connectivity for internet access and cloud storage.

Very cool. Looks like something one would find out of the old Sharper Image stores.

This is fantastic! Cheap, easy and good-looking. I'll be making one of these for myself... and probably another one for the wife when she sees it. Thanks!
