Hey guys, My 13" MBP calls the kitchen its home, I would like to find a stand with a post it note holder built in... I was looking on amazon and I found stands they call, Phone Stands.

Has anyone tried any of them as notebook stands?

Doesn't do much for cooling, but it raises the screen more up to eye level, so I'm not complaining.

i saw one that hooks onto the side of a desk or stands up that is only about and inch high, i just can't find the link for the life of me. awesome stand, same angle as rain but shorter.

I have one like that as well (but green), they are pretty sweet. As you say, it doesn't really enhance the cooling, but they are okay to have in the lap as well so in that regard it's better (cool plastic vs warm fabric covering the fans). They give a nice angle and cost about nothing. :)

Not my laptop in the pic (obviously). Bought them for my PC and will use with a Mac when the new ones come out.

You can buy them name brand but I bought a set for $1.50 (including shipping) off eBay from China. Gives just a slight elevation to make typing more comfortable and improves heat circulation. They pop off easily and are covnenient to take with you anywhere. Better "stand" for those without an external keyboard or mouse/trackpad and still want that little bit of height.

This one - white. Works perfectly for me. I use my laptop exclusively when I'm laying on my bed.

Not my picture, but I picked up the BookArc for my 15" MBP today. Decided I didn't use my mini enough so I fresh installed Lion on it and put it to the side for the time being to use my MacBook with my 22" monitor. Who wants to use a Core 2 Duo when you have a Core i7 with twice the RAM anyway :p

I try to keep my accessory costs down so I went to IKEA and purchased their laptop stand for $2.50 and a napkin holder for 2 bucks, went to home depot and got some felt and lined the napkin holder. For $6.50 total I have a laptop and clamshell stand. Not bad.

I have two of them, 1 black and 1 white. One for work and one for home. They're okay I guess; nothing really special about them. I do like that they built in 4 port USB hub on the back. That and I found them on clearance at OfficeDepot for $5 each.
