6 Pencils + Rubber Bands = iPad Stand

By

This is the iPad version of the quickie, DIY iPhone stand made from office supplies. This one isn’t made from the usual yellow No. 2 pencils but a handful of Faber-Castells —  the fittingly cultish 2001 Grip model with a triangle shape.

The makers over at Geeky Gadgets suggest using pencils with erasers to avoid scratching but note that you should extend the two pencils until there is plenty of wood to rest your device on or wrap a little tape around the metal on each to protect the edge of your iPad.

Would you use one of these to prop up your iPad in a pinch?
