IPad neck victim seeks user-friendly couch "stand".
I can't be the only one who does most iPad use while sitting on a sofa. I need to move it higher than my lap, so I had been using a throw pillow under the iPad, which raises it up 4 inches off my lap, but my head is still tilted down to look at it. Earlier this week I got a sudden (kick in the neck sudden) attack of iPad neck. I've made a partial recovery, which I hope will continue. But I can't resume using my iPad the same way. After searching and reading, I learn that tablets should be used at eye level. I tried stacking two pillows, but it's too unsteady. So I'm looking for something that is:
- comfortable
- lightweight
- steady on a lap
- can support and steady the tablet (I assume a hand must be kept on the iPad at all times)
- keeps the tablet at eye level
I've been using an 18" Minion, and putting the bottom iPad corners in the Minion's goggle strap. I need to keep a hand on it, and the Minion shoes aren't really comfortable in my lap, but it brings the iPad to the level of my head, which is the most important thing. Hasn't anyone come up with an Ipad lap stand, or does anyone know of an existing product (preferably cheap) which can be used as an iPad lap stand?
Here's a photo of my current "stand" (no tasteless jokes please, I looked all around my house and this was the only thing which seemed to somewhat work).
