Anyone have a good case or stand recommendation for reading in bed?
I'm finding the Ipad cumbersome for reading while being horizontal. Discuss
 
I really like the Yoobao Magic case. It pretty much does it all. It gets all the angles and is comfortable on the lap.

A very good case. It's also atheistically pleasant BTW.

I bought that Wedge pillow with the funny white straps thingie also, but haven't got it yet. Don't see how it's going to be that much of an improvement, but you can't have too many cases. Impossible. :D

Sharpie to the rescue again. :D

I mean, the white straps would look GREAT on a white iPad. :D

Heheh, first thing I thought of when I saw it as well.
I think that Yoobao one looks great but I have a thing against leather cases, which me not being a vegetarian is weird. Pillows are working fine for me, for now.

I've had the WedgePad now for several months and the white straps are not distracting or an issue at all. I'd be much more concerned about the Sharpie ink getting on my iPad screen. That would bother me an awful lot more.

A separate concern I have about the WedgePad are the styroform beads that it is filled with. They are becoming pulverized so that the iPad doesn't sit up as straight as it did when new, and this is after only 2 or 3 months. It's just like when bean bag chairs become less "plump" and full as they got older. I may look for new stuffing for it at a crafts store or I'm also considering a Prop Up stand (www.propupstore.com). It looks like a more durable alternative.

In bed I simply put the Apple official iPad case in typing stand position and lay it on my angled lap. Thus hands-free reading possible. As one pointed out, Apple official case is the best IMHO.
 
I use this for reading in bed, works like a charm.

That Aspen Shops link you provided is asking to do some system setup for Zen Shopping cart. With the recent MacDefender malware I am leery to do that. :confused:
