+1The best is the mStand in my opinion
But it isn't considered cheap

I love the mStand but it's not cheap.
Thanks for the reply guys. Also, I would like to note that I will not be connecting any keyboard or mouse with my MacBook Pro. Mostly gonna be using it while laying on my bed.
Any other ideas?'
Edit: Also, the Alto looks very sick!

Ok... you want to lay in the bed and use your MBP on a stand?
You don't want a stand, you want one of those lap thingies

For a 13" look at the Targus Chill Mat for Mac, seems to get okay reviews. The iLap would also work but it is not cheap.
I've been searching for a decent laptop stand, and no seems to make an affordable stand, that looks okay. I'll probably try to do DIY stand then end up buying an mStand.

the Logitech Alto... that clear one... not the one with the keyboard and stuff... but just the stand itself. That looks very good and seems very sturdy. I am sure I would be able to use it on my lap as well and desk too...
Should I get that? Hehe its only $15.00 at TigerDirect.

thanks guys. Since the Alto Express is only $15.00 at tigerdirect and a $6.00 shipping. I think i will give it a try... ordering it now 
Thank you all
Thank you all
I can't speak to the Alto Express, I have the Alto Connect USB Hub and I like it very much. The greatest lap thing I have found is this like lap coloring board my sister got from Pottery Barn Kids/Teen. I found something that sorta resembles it...

Yeah the other pictures with the less offensive color options were not as high-res.
make your own
buy a low rpm 120mm case fan and affix it to a clean BBQ grill, then just splice the wires into a USB end (5volt red and black) and connect through USB. or buy a ac converter to molex to plug into the wall if your affraid of splicing wires and connecting your frankenstein to your $1000+ mac.
120mm low rpm case fan will be the quietest you can get. use newegg to search for those with the lowest dB (decibels). or you could just put your laptop on a copper tray.
