Just found this for $25 at Target...

Its a great little lapdesk for 15" uMBPs... I had their older design CushTop from before I got my uMBP but found it kept slipping towards me when I had it in my lap at an angle. This one has a catch at the front so the laptop can't slip.
I am guessing it is big enough to handle the 17" too - there's at least more than 3/4 inch of flat space left to either side of my 15" and close to 2 inches towards the back. Now I can place it in my lap while lounging on the couch, feet up, and it won't slip anymore.
The only bad part is that its now lower when I do leave it on the couch (not my lap). So I'll just put the old CushTop under the CuskDesk and now the laptop is even better while its sitting beside me on the couch, as it is raised to much better height, and just take the CushDesk onto my lap when I want to go that way.
