Has griffin quit making the iCurve? It says the item is out of stock on their website. They are going for $50 on ebay, so I really dont want to buy one there.
Got a tip for us?

I think the new one looks ugly too 
I'm glad I got mine for 25 shipped when I did, I may pick up another old one for my Tibook

I bought one of those a while ago for my then-iBook G3/600. I used it briefly, and now that I've replaced it with my PowerBook G4/15", I don't use it at all.
My PB is normally configured as a desktop replacement.

Do you know what's the new iCurve looks like? I have 5 of them now (4 at home and one at office) and I like them very well. It can handle even my 15" MBP/PB, along with smaller notebooks.
I am wanting to get it to use my mbp with a keyboard and mouse. In the future I want to use it with another screen. So, if anyone knows another solution, I would love to hear it.
I recently purchased one for AU$85 it was a bit pricey to be honest. I guess it's alright, i mean i had to purchase a BT MM and BT keyboard aswell, so there was another AU$210 so now i guess its a proper desktop replacement. However i find the 15.4" to be too small so i still use my PC desktop to do a lot of work on because im using a big CRT. I would hook up the CRT however it would take up too much space with the MBP on the desk along side it!
So I guess get the iCurve if you have another LCD display to go next to it, or if you are happy with the current screen size.

It's a shame that many of the really good stands don't work with the Power/Macbook Pro due to the fact that they don't open up as much as most other notebooks.
I've got a Port Ergostation stand with a 4-port USB2 hub built in that works really well with my XPS Dell but it doesn't adjust properly for the Macbooks.
The new Griffin stand is called the Elevator and I actually prefer the looks of it to the iCurve - fits the Macbook Pros better for style now that's it's made from aluminium (with a clear plastic base that the supports slot into).

I just saw a pic of Griffin Elevator (iCurve's successor) at MacNN forum (http://forums.macnn.com/57/peripherals/317733/griffin-elevator/). The new one looks so "squarish" and traditional looking stand, compared to iCurve.
It seems this is one of those botched redesigns of the successful product.
