The PERFECT stand/easel for artists and creators on iPad Pro!

So since the release of the iPad Pro I've been looking for a good stand to prop the iPad up a bit for drawing. I'm a product designer by trade so I don't do terribly complex work (mostly concept sketches) and having drawn the Cintiq for years I'm used to sketching from any angle. I originally bought the stand sold as an iPad Pro/Macbook Air stand from a much more expensive (almost three times the price) and reputable brand, but it didn't work well in a number of ways. However, THIS is perfect for drawing on the iPad Pro. It works so well I'm even writing to the seller to add it to the description. The problem with "other" coasters is that they just aren't portable. Why would you buy a huge, chunky stand (yes, it can be nice and textured aluminum, and Apple makes it more appealing by offering it on their online store) and can't just toss it in your bag? The Steklo X-Stand features a very thoughtful design and construction along with the portability required for the supported products. However, I do have a small issue: the "legs" on the bottom that stabilize the laptop (on your wrists when you're typing) are a bit longer. They stick out over the edge of the iPad Pro, but for MacBook Pro buyers that probably doesn't matter much, depending on the model and how you're printing. As for me personally, I'll probably make them a hair shorter by the Dremel so they're flush with the screen (although I'm on the fence as they provide a nice place for the stylus to rest) and still do the job that holds up device in place. In fact, my legs haven't bothered me physically yet (I've only been using them for a few days), so I think it's more of an OCD. The legs and backrest are made of a soft polymer that provides good support and stability, and I don't see any metal scratching, but I still use the case. If you're looking for a great way to help your iPad Pro sketch/drawing/drawing anything, you've found it! Don't spend all your money on a more expensive stand if it's just not needed and uncomfortable to carry. I've added some customer images for those who want to see how this is modeled with an iPad Pro.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
