We’ve been a fan of the BookArc MacBook stand for a while, and now Twelve South is offering a version of it for the iPad and iPad mini. This thing is awesome for several reasons:

• You can dock the iPad in portrait or landscape, so it’s perfect for both getting work done (especially when paired with a bluetooth keyboard) and watching movies.
• It’s elevated so you can use it in the kitchen without having to worry about spills.
• The steel design fits in well with any Mac workspace.
• It’s super easy to get the iPad in and out of.

You’d think a dock of this quality would be pretty expensive, but at $30 it’s rather affordable.
