Comfortable to use Lap Lounge for Tablets cousion pad
The Lap Lounge features a number of thoughtful touches, such as a zippered side pocket that stores a carrying handle and can double as a place to store earbuds and small accessories. And if you're the type that uses a stylus with your iPad, there's a convenient stylus-storage loop on the side. Targus also says the design of the plastic frame should provide built-in sound amplification by directing the iPad's sound toward you, but I didn't notice the iPad's volume sounding any louder or more distinct while using the Lap Lounge.
In terms of size, with comfort comes bulk—unless you're traveling to your summer home and staying put for awhile, the Lap Lounge is not something you'd want to carry around with you. At 12 inches wide, 10.8 inches deep, and 3 inches thick, and weighing 1.7 pounds, it's more transportable than portable.
A few small aesthetic details about the Lap Lounge bugged me. One is the beanbag section's beige color. I know it's neutral and goes with anything, and I'm sure some people will have no issue with it, but it's a really light beige that's a prime candidate for dirt and stains. It would be nice to have a choice of other neutral colors, such as grey or black. The plastic frame, a lighter beige, is clean and sleek enough, but much like the color of early-1990s computers, it comes off as a tad cheap-looking.
Still, Targus has the right idea with the Lap Lounge, and many folks will appreciate the comfort and flexibility of the design. At $50, the price is reasonable, although I wish the product were more attractive-looking—more Apple-like, if you will—and had a better design for holding the iPad in portrait orientation. Notwithstanding those issues, this iPad stand may be perfectly suitable for your needs.
