The Lap Lounge makes the iPad comfy to use
Much iPad use takes place when you're sitting on the couch, laying in bed, or relaxing on the patio, but most iPad stands are designed for use on a flat surface such as your desk. I sometimes used a throw-pillow to prop up my iPad on my lap, but that solution isn't very secure—one sudden move, and my iPad can topple to the ground and get damaged.
aims to fill this use-the-iPad-in-comfort niche. Specifically designed for the iPad , the Lap Lounge securely holds your tablet in a plastic frame within a beanbag-cushion base that sits comfortably on your lap and lets you prop up your iPad, depending on your degree of slouch, at any number of viewing angles. The iPad fits snugly into the frame, either bare or with the very thinnest of protective back shells, but leaves the iPad's screen exposed.
If you need more of a propped-up angle than your legs provide, you can raise the rear edge of the built-in frame to form a stand—tension in the frame's hinge keeps it firmly in place, even when tapping the screen. This works fine for landscape orientation, but using the iPad in portrait orientation is a little awkward, as you must remove it from the plastic frame, rotate it 90 degrees, and then re-insert it. (There are two small, plastic tabs that keep the iPad secure in this position. The plastic feels a bit sharp, though, and while I saw no evidence of scratching during my testing, it seems like there's a potential to scratch the iPad's screen or aluminum sides.) While there's an opening in the frame for Apple's dock-connector cable when your iPad is in landscape orientation, you can't charge or sync when in portrait position.
