Sent From My iPad

So in the world of high tech gadgets sometimes it helps to look outside the box. Sure you can buy cast aluminum that has been lovingly sculpted to present the iPad in all it’s glory, for $129, or you can look at the Bookgem for $14.99. Now I like the Joule and all the others, but they are heavier, and they cost quite a bit more.

The Bookgem is made for reading books and has two folding legs and two spring loaded arms that hold a book or an iPad firmly in place.  The flexibility of the device is it can hold your iPad in one of four positions, all of which make using the iPad on a table or surface much better that just the  case.  It also works with out the case, but I have found once you have your iPad in the case getting it out is pretty unpleasant, so better to get a small portable stand and just leave it in it.

Update: After using it for a while it is not all that I will ever need. It is serviceable, but I am again looking for a good stand, the angle of the iPad causes it to slip (and possible come off the iPad) if in the case and jostled significantly.
