Hey everyone looking to buy a stand for my MBP and I've seen a few but what ones the best for the money?
 
I really like the griffin elevator but im looking for one where i can use the laptop comfortably while its not connected to a different screen

Hmm, I personally think that you can still use the Elevator comfortably, as it's only 5 inches high. You could also connect a wireless keyboard + mouse if that would be more comfortable.

But if you want to get a little stand while using the Macbook, I'd reccommend you getting some sort of Laptop Ramp, like the Standivarius Aero.

Good luck in finding a decent stand!

I have just purchased an apple wireless keyboard and magic mouse, I think I'm going to get the griffin and purchase a 23" apple display with some money I saved for an iPad 2 but never got due too the rumors of the 3 coming out in less than a year

That will be a good setup.
Yeah, I'm not the biggest iPad fan. Bought the original on launch day, returned in soon after.

Yeah, I use a Apple wireless keyboard and the Magic Trackpad with my MBP and external. I don't bother with a stand at all.
 
Check out the mStand. It's really beautiful and matches the Alum Macbook.

I also have the mStand and it's worked great for me. my mbp is at a comfortable viewing angle and I can use it with or without my wireless mouse and keyboard. plus it is very aesthetically pleasing :) I Highly Recommend it!

ALSO, I tried the Griffin Elevator and ended up returning it the next day because my mbp was slipping off the stand when i tried to use it. just something to keep in mind.
