Rain mStand alternative?

[guyducati]

I am looking for some way to elevate my Macbook Pro, and the Rain mStand seems like a good idea, but I'm not too thrilled with the way the Macbook Pro would be at an angle, personally I don't like it. I also am not thrilled about paying $60 for a small stand. I've always looked at the Griffin Elevator, but that also looks bizarre to me. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

What exactly are you looking for? Do you want the MBP to be open or closed lid? The angle makes it perfect for using the MBP's screen along with external keyboard/mouse on a desk.

I am looking for something very similar to the mStand, so I can use the Macbook Pro open.

I have a Rain mStand and like you didn't really want to spend the dosh, then decided to buy anyway.

Think about it, you have spent how many thousand dollars / pounds on your MBP, then you're going to sit it on a crappy plastic stand.

The mstand is perfect for an MBP, it looks stunning, it's stable and it does reduce cpu temp by about 5-10 deg C

Yea, I guess that's true....I guess I'll just buy the mStand...

I got the mStand. At first I thought it was a bit too expensive, but bit the bullet anyway. I'm really glad I did. It's perfect and looks stunning with the aluminium MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Also, it elevates them to a perfect height. The angle even makes it easier to type, the times you forget to use your external keyboard.

Leave one for me. I've been debating between this and the more expensive luxa2 alternatives.
