I use an iPad most of the time and most of the time am sitting on
the
floor or lying on a bed. The perfect position for the iPad is usually
at
a diagonal and tilted. The best way I can think of to secure the
position of the ipad would be with tinfoil, especially if the ipad
wasn't so heavy.
So what we need is heavier tinfoil. So this
product
is like tinfoil but more sturdy and capable of holding an ipad in
place
when you crumple it up. The must be a way to retain the
crinklyness of tinfoil while ramping up the strength but avoid it
becoming sharp. Maybe you put strong tinfoil in a gel casing? Or
mix
the tin with plastic? Heavy soft crinkle-retaining foil.

Tinfoil comes in all different strengths, from wafer thin to ingot. |

But are you envisioning wads of foil propping the pad at some angle? Instead, buy a tub of Playdoh, cover it with plastic wrap, wedge your Ipad into the lump and wiggle (the Ipad) until you like how it looks. Then remove and wait a day or 2. The Playdoh will harden and presto! - a custom weird angle Ipad stand! |

You can paint it in muted, solemn colors if you are worried what people will think. |

If you clamp the iPad in a vice, so that about 2 inches are protruding, and then use a large hammer to bend the end over at an angle of somewhat more than 90º (hitting the screen side so it bends away from the screen), then (after you remove it from the vice) the iPad should stand up itself at a comfortable viewing angle. |

Well, that's just plain stupid. You should use a
*copper* mallet to avoid putting dent marks on the
iPad. |
|
| |
I didn't specify the type of hammer because (a) I thought it was obvious, and (b)I am a bodger and don't mind a few dent marks. |

What happened to Tinfoil1? |
|
| |
Tinfoil1 is taking summer school courses on how to become
smart tinfoil. |

I like the gel casing idea. It would make my hat so
much more comfortable. |
