The iBook iPad Stand [Spoiler: It’s Awesome]
So, a Japanese Apple fan gets tired of waiting for the perfect iPad stand to arrive and decides to build his own. Pretty usual story. But this one is different. A Japanese Apple fan gets tired of waiting for the perfect iPad stands, takes an old iBook case and builds an iPad stand out of it.

MacRumors clarifies, however, that there is one interesting catch.
