I know there are a bunch of nice stands out there to hold a MBA upright in clamshell, but I really don't want to dish out $50 bucks. Anyone have any better options? I really am considering making this a DIY project. Thanks!

I would search for the words "vertical laptop stand" + hack to get the DIY options. http://www.ikeahackers.net/2010/04/macbook-vertical-laptop-stand.html http://lifehacker.com/5898996/build-your-own-vertical-laptop-stand-for-3 http://www.howtogeek.com/107989/repurpose-a-napkin-holder-as-a-vertical-laptop-stand/
