NewerTech's NuStand Alloy is for those who value sturdiness over portability in an Apple iPad stand for their desks. The body is aluminum, with a silicone insert for holding your iPad. The 3.5-ounce NuStand Alloy isn't heavy, but it's designed to be used in one location; it's less suited as a mobile model to take with you while traveling on business. You can stand one up for $24.99. It's available via various online distributors.
