Hey everyone!

I bought my first iPad (3rd gen) a few weeks ago and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good stand for when I'm sat at a desk. I'm looking for something really simple as it'll probably be on and off it regularly. Ideally it'll have some kind of protection (soft surface) so that the iPad won't get scratched. Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it! =D

I just use my smart cover as a stand on my desk.

I do have the Zagg Flex keyboard which comes with a nice foldup stand
ZAGGkeys FLEX | Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard & Stand for Tablets | ZAGG
Works both portrait and landscape.

I also have the iPad 1 Zaggmate - which doesn't snug up to the new iPad - but I can fit it in there with the smart cover still on. Also works as a keyboard - and the iPad can be in portrait or landscape

I also have this plastic stand that works quite well in both orientations
Amazon.com: ipad stand

I like the 12 south compass - but I haven't sprung for one as it is $20 more than the plastic stand above

Going to be doing a review of my Portenzo case tomorrow when it comes in the mail. Hopefully Fedex will be realistic this time and deliver it when I'm home and not at 7PM like last time. >_>" I don't enjoy being a hostage in my own home.

Was just looking at this Kickstarter project today, for me it's highly interesting:

Hey guys newbie here... I've been using the Padholdr iPad Stand for awhile now and love it. They sell table top stands too, but for a stand in bed this works great.
