What are they famous for? portable devices Apple is simply an incredible assortment of all kinds of accessories for them, be it cases, speaker systems, banal stands... or not quite banal? Reviewers Freshome studied dozens of different types of holders and stands for the iPad, including quite a few, and chose a dozen and a half of the most interesting products, in their opinion. They are mainly focused on tablets Apple first generations, but many are suitable for .
1. JOBY Gorilla Mobile Yogi
When creating Gorilla Mobile Yogi, JOBY used its experience in developing tripods for digital cameras. This holder is based on a pair of flexible legs, on which you can not only rest the device, but also attach them to using iPad, for example, to some crossbar, tree branch, leaning over a bench where the user comfortably settled down or even to your own feet. A simple and at the same time brilliant idea. Judging by the design, such a stand will only fit the first generation iPad, since a case is used to secure the tablet. Issue price - $50 . The stand is available on the official website.
2. Stabile iPad Stand
The name of this stand reflects its essence - it is stable and powerful. You can even hit the accessory with a hammer and nothing will happen to it. I don’t know why they did this, but that’s exactly what they did in the promotional video. The accessory really looks monolithic. Actually, this is what it is monolithic piece of steel, which was given an elegant shape. This decision fits perfectly with an iPad of any generation, and the tablet can easily fit into the Stabile iPad Stand, either in a case or connected by a wire to a power source. For their brainchild, Thought Out - the company that created this simple, but very stylish and powerful accessory (you can throw it at a bully, if anything) - asks $50 . The accessory is distributed through the official Thought Out website.
3. AYL Slim Genuine Leather Case Folio
This is not only a stand, but also a convenient case made of genuine leather. It is worth noting that in addition to AYL, many companies sell a similar design case. For example, they offer similar solutions for the iPad 2, but the product in question is only suitable for the first generation tablet. Its peculiarity is a large number of positions in stand mode and relatively compact dimensions. On Amazon AYL Slim Genuine Leather Case Folio costs $40 .
4. iPad Case and Stand by Appleby Parva
Another stand case. It is made in the UK from expensive genuine leather, probably very fashionable, unusual to a certain extent, but poorly functional, and it looks kind of rough, or something. Although use traditional belt clasp- this is an interesting move. Fashionable things are expensive and iPad Case and Stand by Appleby Parva is no exception. On the official website the cover is ₤185 ($300).
5. @Rest
The guys from Heckler Design took a sheet of steel, perforated it a little, bent it, added a couple of elements, and they got a convenient @Rest stand with which iPads of any generation can be used in portrait and landscape orientation. Available in several color options (powder coating) for $69 on the Heckler Design website.

10. Sommet Stand
Just a beautiful and stylish thing with simplest design: on a wooden base there is a piece of aluminum pipe, plus there is also an aluminum stop.

Suitable for iPad, iPad 2 and other tablets. The product is distributed through The Sommet website at a price $70 .

The most technically advanced of the stands discussed in the article, as it contains quite powerful sound system. JBL is basically specializes in sound and is known as a manufacturer of high-quality acoustic devices. In many stores with Apple equipment you can find JBL products, they love them there.

13. Belkin ViewLounge Stand
