HumanToolz Stand: The Most Vesatile iPad Stand [video]

The HumanToolz iPad stand is beautiful to look at, crafted from the aircraft-grade aluminium that iDevice owners will be familiar with and is some to use.

As an owner of an iPad since the first-gen tablet was released and created a storm, I know that iPad stands can be found anywhere and come in a range of styles, colors and materials to match everyone’s needs.

The problem is that everyone is trying to create something new and interesting in an accessory market already saturated with cheap and often tacky products.

Personally I prefer a case or stand that is specifically designed to do what it was meant to and nothing else.
